SRD-1 (Science & Research Drone 1) — fully open-source 3D-printed quadcopter emphasizing low cost + printability.
ELECTRONICS: three independent Arduino Nano boards — (1) flight controller + MPU6050 IMU running MultiWii firmware, (2) RC receiver with NRF module, (3) RC transmitter with NRF module. Motors: generic 2212 BLDC + 30A ESCs (~870g thrust each; ~1.75kg payload capacity).
BUILD: parts optimized for 3D printing (minimal supports, strength-distributed geometry); CAD + technical drawings on Printables. Transmitter uses salvaged RC potentiometers or Arduino joystick modules. Optional gimbal mount for a Raspberry Pi HQ Camera on SG90 servos with rubber shock absorbers. Full CAD, drawings, firmware + assembly docs on GitHub + Printables.
