PART 03: PCB [PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD]

Build Mambo



Step 1: Airframe Arrangement

Arrange the airframe, with motors attached, and the PCB in the open workspace as shown in the picture.



Step 2: PCB to Airframe Connection

Flip over the airframe as pictured and attach the PCB by connecting the Accessory Port to the top of the central body. Make sure the PCB is positioned at the front of the airframe as pictured.



Step 3: Accessory Port Attachment

Secure the Accessory Port of the PCB to the airframe using [4] screws.





Step 4: PCB Bend & Attachment

Bend the PCB as pictured below so it fits over the bottom of the airframe. Note there are [4] holes used to attach the PCB to the Airframe, however, do not permanently attach at this point.





Airfoil

A body (such as an airplane wing or propeller blade) designed to provide a desired reaction force when in motion relative to the surrounding air

Airframe

The Airframe is the main body of the drone that every other component attaches to

Anti-Clockwise [A]

Anti-Clockwise (or Counter Clockwise) [A] motion is one that proceeds in the opposite direction as a clock's hands

Battery

Energy source used to supply power to the drone

Clockwise [C]

Clockwise [C] motion is one that proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands

Firmware

Firmware is permanent software programmed into a read-only memory

Gimbal

The mechanism that allows for different position of the camera on the drone

Micro-USB

a miniaturized version of the Universal Serial Bus interface which enables the direct charging of the drone's battery

Motor

A motor is powered by electricity that supplies motive power for moving parts

PCB

A Printed Circuit Board is a board design with a base board and copper traces to maintain connectivity between electronic components such as LED's, integrated circuits, and resistors for your devices

Propeller Twist

A differece in angle between the blade at its tip, and at the point where it meets the propller hub

Propellers

Mechanical device for propelling an aircraft or boat, consisting of a revolving shaft with two or more broad, angled blades attached to it
