Hi everyone!
This video is an beginner friendly tutorial about building your first ArduPilot drone! Also this upload marks the beginning of my quest to build and test every possible Ardupilot vehicle type. Ardupilot is an amazing flight software with nearly limitless potential and therefore we are starting strong with this autonomous tricopter build. Let me know in the comments which build would you like to see next!

Which Ardupilot vehicle type would you like me to cover next? Give me a hint in the comments!

@sUASNews 11 месяцев назад

I love tricopters, the way they fly is far more natural to me. But its a personal thing I guess. We used to use three gyros, no controller at all. Lovely tidy build, well done.

@BasementCreationsChannel 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! I am not really a drone pilot but I used to fly some quadcopters back in the day and I really like the Yaw responsiveness and fluidity the tricopter configuration gives you. I think this build would greatly benefit from more precise digital servo and better PID tuning tho. Might revisit the tricopter build in the future with bigger frame and 10 inch props.

Nice video, I love the way a tricopter looks and flies. Mine is like David's original design and I'm installing a new flight controller soon. Keep up the good work.

@thedronedojo 6 месяцев назад

This is absolutely amazing. WELL DONE

Cool projects bro 👍

Tricopters are cool and weird and thats why i love them.

Try adding object recognition to the drone with streaming video.

nice video brother

Thank you very much for doing videos on software some people consider obsolete. Cheers (from Germany) Nik

@BasementCreationsChannel 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Nik! Although I wouldn’t consider Ardupilot to be obsolete, I think it rather has a steep entry learning curve and that's what might discourage new users. But it is a really powerful software and I will happily continue to use it for all my flying projects

@nikleiser5888 9 месяцев назад

I don't consider it obsolete (neither the hardware which is still in use by me nor the software)@@BasementCreationsChannel Btw: Is other software really that more user-friendly ?

@BasementCreationsChannel 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I personally started with Betaflight and INAV and I think their interface is much more user friendly and easier to work with than Ardupilot Mission Planner app. Flight controllers sometimes even came with Betaflight pre-flashed so you didn't have to flash them yourself. But as I said Ardupilot has many more cool features so its worse UI can be considered a reasonable tradeoff

Wow, I havn't seen a tricopter build in ages! Props to David Windestal for his pioneering work on the first Tricopters www.youtube.com/@DavidWindestal

@BasementCreationsChannel Год назад

Yeah, his tricopter builds were really exceptional

@bartekskrzypkowski2086 Месяц назад

Where are you from? Very nice tricopter, I'm just starting to think about building aircraft.

Rất mong bạn chia sẻ cách làm

@SonAndDadFPV 9 месяцев назад

a langrange quad- or tricopter with a dropping mission.... (no, not a bomb but a package delivery) ?

@ourchannel8215 7 месяцев назад

tricopter back motor using servor like plane aleron more easy...tilt motor is hard fir servo... need powerfull servo

@zogxray Год назад

What about coaxial third axis?

@BasementCreationsChannel Год назад

There is a drone configuration called Y4 which is just a tricopter with an additional coaxial motor at the back instead of servo. I am not sure tho if it has any benefits of the tricopter and if it is any better than a standard quadcopter. Might test it anyway in the future

You sound like Polak 😅 Btw. Where can I found you around polish Internet: wykop, hejto, discord, Facebook, etc.

@AbrahamMorgado Год назад

Arm switch should be set to the corners of both sticks, not to a switch. Set it up like that is more like an selfdestruction switch.

@mk2gyro 11 месяцев назад

Nobody does it like that anymore, quad racers use a switch as you may disarm the craft with excessive stick movement

@SonAndDadFPV 9 месяцев назад

I put the arm/disarm on a slider on the side of the radio... no more mishaps and it does the job

@adhavan.a7964 11 месяцев назад

bro u gotta start patreon ure doing awesome shit with the worst equipment flysky radio DIY goggles dam

@BasementCreationsChannel 11 месяцев назад

The radio itself isn't that bad after I modified it with OpenTX and ExpressLRS module, although I wish I had a better FPV system, something like DJI FPV Goggles would be totally awesome. But yeah that stuff is expensive, so thanks for the idea
