### Example 1: Basic Quadcopter Flight Control using Arduino
This example demonstrates how to use the F450 Quadcopter Frame Kit with an Arduino board to control the quadcopter's flight.
Arduino: [ArduinoCore](https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/arduino-core/)
Quadcopter library: [QuadcopterCtrl](https://github.com/quadcopterctrl/quadcopterctrl)
Code:
```cpp
#include <QuadcopterCtrl.h>
// Define motor pins
const int motor1Pin = 2;
const int motor2Pin = 3;
const int motor3Pin = 4;
const int motor4Pin = 5;
// Define ESC pins
const int esc1Pin = 6;
const int esc2Pin = 7;
const int esc3Pin = 8;
const int esc4Pin = 9;
// Create a QuadcopterCtrl object
QuadcopterCtrl quadcopter;
void setup() {
// Initialize motor pins as outputs
pinMode(motor1Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motor2Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motor3Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motor4Pin, OUTPUT);
// Initialize ESC pins as outputs
pinMode(esc1Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(esc2Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(esc3Pin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(esc4Pin, OUTPUT);
// Initialize quadcopter object
quadcopter.init(motor1Pin, motor2Pin, motor3Pin, motor4Pin, esc1Pin, esc2Pin, esc3Pin, esc4Pin);
}
void loop() {
// Set motor speeds
quadcopter.setMotorSpeed(0, 50); // Motor 1 (front left) - 50% speed
quadcopter.setMotorSpeed(1, 50); // Motor 2 (front right) - 50% speed
quadcopter.setMotorSpeed(2, 50); // Motor 3 (rear left) - 50% speed
quadcopter.setMotorSpeed(3, 50); // Motor 4 (rear right) - 50% speed
// Update quadcopter state
quadcopter.update();
// Delay for 20ms
delay(20);
}
```
### Example 2: Flight Control using PX4 Autopilot and DroneKit
This example demonstrates how to use the F450 Quadcopter Frame Kit with PX4 Autopilot and DroneKit to control the quadcopter's flight.
PX4 Autopilot: [px4.io](https://px4.io/)
DroneKit: [dronekit.io](https://dronekit.io/)
Code:
```python
import dronekit
# Connect to the quadcopter
vehicle = dronekit.connect('udp:localhost:14550')
# Set mode to MANUAL
vehicle.mode = dronekit.VehicleMode("MANUAL")
# Set motor speeds
vehicle.channels.override = {
dronekit.VehicleChannel("-roll", 0.5), # Roll axis - 50% speed
dronekit.VehicleChannel("pitch", 0.5), # Pitch axis - 50% speed
dronekit.VehicleChannel("throttle", 0.5), # Throttle axis - 50% speed
dronekit.VehicleChannel("yaw", 0.5) # Yaw axis - 50% speed
}
# Update vehicle state
vehicle.channels.send()
# Monitor the quadcopter's state
while True:
print("Altitude:", vehicle.location.alt)
time.sleep(0.5)
```
These examples demonstrate the integration of the F450 Quadcopter Frame Kit with various flight control systems. The kit's components can be used in a wide range of IoT applications, including robotics, surveillance, and precision agriculture.
