About the Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone PCB

Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone is an open source NXP PCB design by aswer0, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a board, with 5 components from 5 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Teensy4.0, from the NXP family. Other key parts include the MPU-6050, AERO_SELFIE 55A 4-in-1 ESC, Fs-iA6B Receiver and 5V BEC.

It belongs with the robotics & motion, power & battery and sensors designs in this gallery.

- Every part can be printed on a 180x180x180mm print bed. - For every wing (W) and aileron (A) part, you need to print one version as is, and one mirrored version. - These following parts should be printed with vase mode using LW-PLA: W1, W2, W3, A1, A3, F1, C1, C2. - The "Front Plate" part should be printed out of PLA with 0 top/bottom walls, 2 normal walls and 35% honeycomb infill. - All other parts should be printed using normal PLA with 2 walls and 2-5% gyroid infill.

Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone: common questions

What microcontroller does the Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone use?

The Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone is built around the Teensy4.0, from the NXP family.

How many components are on the Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone?

5 components, from 5 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone design files?

From the aswer0/Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone repository on GitHub, which has the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which aswer0 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Tricopter-Transition-VTOL-Drone without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug NXP firmware against it before you order a PCB.
