RC Levitation Hovercraft with SG90 Robot for Arduino Robot 3D Printing Open Source Levitation Boat Programmable Hovercraft Kit

Title:The Arduino floating hovercraft is based on RC remote control 3D printing maker homemade open source

Features:

(Detailed documentation after purchase) In this kit, we will build an RC based hover spaceship. The following is the whole process of building a floating hovercraft, from designing and 3D printing hovercraft components (including propellers) to connecting electronic components and Arduino.

1. Full set: 1 set floating hovercraft with 2pcs motor

2. Upgrade set: 1 set floating hovercraft with 4pcs motor

The hovercraft is based on the open source hovercraft solution, with many improvements to achieve better handling and future expansion. The original picture is for reference only, the picture shell uses light curing printing, if you have appearance needs, you can contact customer service to make up the difference to modify the color of the print shell or replace it with light curing printing, replace plexiglass instead of wood, and then continue to improve the appearance, the future will launch a water sailing version, please look forward to it.

The electric modulation motor adopts XXD2212 motor 2000kv, and the electric modulation adopts 3S-30A, which can be purchased by itself. Note that the electric modulation should be selected with BEC5V power supply, such as the 3S-30A electric modulation, the recommended battery is 3S-2200mah, the battery length should not exceed 130mm, and the size of the center hole of the blade is 5mm. The ship needs to be used with a receiver. If there is no receiver, you can buy a matching open source remote control and receiver. The remote control is also compatible with other creative open source Arduino projects.

Free open source receiver PCB board, optional Arduino minimum system board (nano or pro mini) and 2.4G communication module, with the use of Arduino open source remote control, you can achieve remote control, you can also add wireless serial port (wifi/ Bluetooth /2.4G) module for remote control (need to program)

Serial port is used for burning, such as ch340, ft232, etc., the library of nrf24 module needs to be installed before compilation, and the libraries to be installed are listed in the first few lines of the code.

The arduino nano version is reserved on the PCB design of the hovercraft receiver. If you need to install the nano minimum system board, pay attention to the selection of nano when compiling the code.

If the minimum system board of pro mini is used, select pro/pro mini when compiling, otherwise an error will be reported.

The receiver code has been modified on the basis of the original, the original remote control code is suitable for the remote control with the gyroscope version, you can contact customer service to change the price and replace, the new remote control code has removed the original gyroscope control part. The code can then add other features on its own.

The latest version of the code has been improved, please place an order after the customer, find customer service, thank you!

Summarize:

The ship is controlled by using the Arduino-based RC remote control. Specifically, the steering gear is positioned on the back of the thrust motor to control the direction of thrust, the potentiometer is set to control the speed of the brushless DC motor, the propeller is driven to provide buoyancy and thrust, and the left joystick is set to control the propulsion.

3D model of floating hovercraft:

The basic working principle of the hovercraft is that the spacecraft blows air under the spacecraft by a central propeller, inflates the enveloping skirt made of soft material, and takes off the ship with an air carrier.

When the air pressure on the enveloping skirt is high enough, the ship is lifted. Air escapes from the middle of the spacecraft, between the enveloping skirt and the ground, creating an additional lift and reducing friction between the hovercraft and the ground.

After liftoff, a second propeller is used to generate thrust that moves the hovercraft forward.

Installation instructions

Assembly of UNO based RC hovercraft

Start by installing the servo used to change the direction of thrust to the blower housing. Secure with two M2 bolts and nuts.

Next is to install a brushless motor. The specific model used is the D2830, with a diameter of 28 mm to 30 mm long, and the housing is designed to fit this motor.

When inserting the motor here, first let the wires pass through the opening. It's a bit tight, but it's still passable. Then on the back, using M3 bolts, secure the motor to the housing.

Next, it is possible to merge the thrust casing with the body of the hovercraft. This part has an opening so that the wires of the servo and motor can pass through

Use four M3 bolts, held together.

After completion, proceed to install the second brushless motor to the hull of the hovercraft. Use the same method above. First, the motor is secured through the opening through the wires, and then the motor is fixed with four M3 bolts on the back.

circuit diagram

Next comes the electronic hardware part. The electronic components will actually be placed between the hull and the hovercraft body, and through the circuit diagram, we can see how each part of the module needs to be connected.

In fact, the brain of this spaceship ship is an arduino board. With the Arduino, we can easily control the servo as well as two brushless motors using two electronic speed controllers or ESC. For powering the BLDC motor, I will use a 3S Li-Po battery, which provides about 11V, and for arduino, we can use the regulated 5V that ESC provides through their battery elimination circuit feature
