Maker Artur Pękosz has developed the Lahn Cinewhoop, a compact quadcopter drone integrating a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for single-camera first-person view (FPV) and recording capabilities. Using a Pavo 20 body and elements from BetaFPV, the drone is designed for environment friendly FPV flight and high-definition video recording. Key to its performance is the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and Digicam Module V3, serving each as a recorder and a transmitter for the FPV system.
Pękosz’s design incorporates a mix of off-the-shelf elements and customized 3D printed elements. Modifications to the drone embrace 3D printed fixtures for digicam mounting and Raspberry Pi safety, designed to attenuate vibration and enhance digicam stability. The drone’s distinctive characteristic is its single-camera transmission system, leveraging the Raspberry Pi’s functionality to output composite analog video for dwell FPV transmission, whereas additionally recording digital footage.
The drone’s system features a controller with a change for safely shutting down the Raspberry Pi earlier than battery disconnection, guaranteeing system integrity. Efficiency-wise, the ‘Lahn_4’ program helps 1080p 30 FPS video recording with vital GPU overclocking, although minor stutters might happen. Another ‘Lahn_3’ program presents secure efficiency at 720p 50 FPS with out overclocking.
Pękosz has made the challenge’s particulars, together with STL information for 3D printing and a elements record, out there on Hackaday.io, showcasing the potential of integrating conventional drone expertise with the flexibility of Raspberry Pi methods.
