Multi-rotor drone control system

The goal of the project is to develop and test a control system for multi-rotor unmanned air systems. It is continuing from the conclusion of the Advanced Multi-rotor Drone project. The project deliverables include an electronic control system to balance the aircraft, and a table designed to have test aircraft mounted to it and create vibrations in order to test the response of the control systems.

=Problem Definition=

Background
This project originated with the Advanced Multi-rotor Drone project from Fall 2018 - Spring 2019. That project culminated with several test stands, and the hardware necessary to operate both a quadcopter drone, and a single axis Seesaw.

Deliverables
The purpose of this project is to design and create both a control system for the Seesaw and equipment to test the response of the controls in the form of a vibrating table. The control system will be written to operate on an arduino-like microcontroller, and will control the two motors at the ends of the seesaw arm to balance the arm at a given angle and respond to disturbances. This system will also be generalized to the quadcopter drone in the future.

In order to test the response of any control system it is necessary to be able to give it defined disturbances. We will be doing this in the form of a table that performs user-defined vibrations. The seesaw, and later the quadcopter, will be attached to the table and shaken in order to measure the response of their control systems.
