Kramer's Documentation at end of day one 1/31/15 Tricopter Build
- Legs
- sanded Legs
- Assemble Motors
- attach the bottom braket
- get counter sink side correct
- Attach 2 non-servo motors to legs
- opposite side of screw holes
- align wires with opening
- use small cutout to enclose wires within leg slot
- could glue
- zip tie in place
-
- Zip tie and connect speed control - will need to determine direction after build by running the motor and noting direction so don't make permanent
-
- drill and file 3D printed gimble mount - use a screw and glue the end to make gimble pivot
-
- use super glue - screw motor on 3D printed mount - may need to drill to fit - align wires away from base end
-
- Attach servo - use drill to reverse counter sink screw hole to get a flush connection - cut two edges of servo star to fit - ensure full range of motion and attach star to servo - superglue to gimble
-
- Attach gimble and servo to leg
- Found out I made a mistake in how the wires were aligned with cutout on leg
- inscrewed and screwed
- use zip ties
- used super glue for spacer after zip tie
-
- zip tie and connect speed controller
- Put the screws in a center piece and attach legs putting the gimbled leg in the center
- use shorter 1 1/4 inch screw on inside for gimbled leg - attach so that the motors face down and the wires are accesable
-
- connect wires together in middle using solder and speaker wire
- pigtail all negative and positive from the speed controllers - cut and strip black and red wires - cut and strip speaker wire - cut shrink wrap and solder wire red to red black to black
-
- lighter for shrink wrap - combine all neg and wire to neg for final wire - do the same for pos - don't forget skrink wrap(large) - Extend all control wires - only the white wire from the two legs without the gimble - all three from the gimble - leave about 4 inches past the hole through the center section to the top - takes a while; don't forget the shrink wrap - attach the top plate - I messed up the side I soldered the large wires and had to flip the legs to make the bottom plate the top
