Sycamore Robotics' "Build Your Own Drone" Kit - with a Rapsberry Pi Companion Computer and a Pixhawk Lite Main Flight Computer, M8N GPS, 3DR Radio and Wi-Fi Comunications, and with a Quadcopter or Hexacopter Flight Frame. The "Build Your Own Drone" (BYOD) kit gives you the performance of a state-of-the-art consumer drone (e.g. Phantom, Solo) but in a package that encourages you to have fun assembling and learning how the mechanical, electrical and computational systems all work and interact. The BYOD kit aggregates some of the most popular parts and widely used, open source code to give you a great flight system out of the box, but one that can easily be expanded and modified to suit your needs as an advanced part of a "Maker"-style project. All of BYOD's parts are widely available from different fabricators ensuring easy availability of spare parts, so you're never going to be stuck with a broken drone that's hard to fix or hard to modify. BYOD is part of Sycamore Robotics' internal development of drone systems as one of our development platforms. The BYOD platform is future-proofed in that as we move towards systems integrated around the Pi 3 as a main flight computer and the addition of a wider range of sensors and of dedicated image processing boards, the BYOD is adaptable with minimal changes. BYOD returns consumer drones to their roots in self-assembly (and a little soldering, duct tape, cable ties and velcro) and in the distant days of 2011-2012. If you enjoy your drones a little Old School in exchange for an opportunity to learn about the systems and make modifications, Sycamore Robotics BYOD Kit is right for you.
