I managed to lay my hands on the wreckage of a crashed drone. Of course, there is only one thing to do, take it apart and see what's inside! bit.ly/3dON4Hh

that's so awesome... I was the web developer for Dave Davies of the Kinks 25 years ago, and toured around New England for his shows for a couple years. I've been a Kinks fan since I was a boy in 1977 and bought my first final album. Great reference, made me smile and all warm & fuzzy in reminiscing. Great teardown, btw! ;)

This was a really fun teardown. I am really surprised DJI gave it separate speed controllers.

you mean separate motor controllers for each rotor? you literally have to in order to make a quadrotor work.

Great video! I have 5 phantom drones and was great finding you and your video’s. How do I go about buying damaged and learn the electronic components?

Thinking turning my old phantom 3 into fpv drone

Lol, it does suck when you have someone in your life who is obsessed with accurate terminology and gets mad that people started calling it something different. That's a fun teardown!

I'm sorry to say that I am always that person! And nothing annoys me more than when I do it myself! I spent most of the "Vintage Console teardown" correcting myself from saying "TTL Logic"!

Hello, we want to do some internal, live teardowns at work. What equipment do you use to record your teardowns that gives you the great focus and depth of field, even when you zoom in on small electronic parts?

Looks like the parts to fix it are readily available and not terribly expensive...

I never had a drone, but interesting. Someday maybe I will make one... Or buy one... A 3 axis gimbal (steadicam) I already did.

I had a plan to build a hexacopter a few years back, but never came to anything. I'd be seriouly tempted now to revisit this and maybe try out ardupilot?

Oh! I really didn't know that! That's a clever idea!

Not nearly enough technical analysis for my tastes. This was a missed opportunity for a good introduction to the major building blocks of a drone/quad-copter at the minimum. I know that it would take more than one day to film a good teardown or one day to film and more time to add in more material later.

Same . Maybe a second channel where he does the same thing except does a deep dive on all of it .

It's really tough to balance a 20 minute segment with all the content that everyone could want! Careful what you wish for though, some of the teardowns I have completed have produced 4 hoours of raw footage. Sure there is a lot of me getting fustrated with sripped screw heads, but there is also a lot of additional content cut. This is all without me getting out a scope and probes for every other IC in the process! What specifically would you have like to have seen more of in this tear down? What would you have liked to have seen?

@OverUnity7734 4 жыл бұрын

@@a531016 For me it would be the IC's used for WiFi, GPS, inertia sensing, CPU and how they communicate with each other. Off the shelf chips or do they roll their own. Does the CPU process raw data to render GPS data, inertia sensing data, etc or is ready formed data sent to the CPU ? And a little bit of the code that monitors distance and battery level that triggers the return to home .

Global hawk is remotely operated by an operator , isn't it?

@a531016 4 жыл бұрын

I understand that is can fly autonomously and be remotely piloted?

@awo1fman 4 жыл бұрын

@@a531016 Exactly. Most drones can be controlled manually to some degree, but can also be autonomous. In the case of warhead delivery platforms, it's especially important to have a human involved to double-check that the target is correct and that there isn't some unforeseen circumstance that requires the mission to be aborted or modified. So yes, there is at least one human *monitoring* these things at all times, but not necessarily piloting unless it becomes necessary for some reason.
