Study of a Single-copter Barelang-Force (SBF) mechanical design and orientation control on Arduino nano Available to Purchase

The research of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has grown rapidly due to technological development in various applications. One of the UAV developments is single copter drone; therefore, this paper will discuss SBF’s design and attitude control behavior in real-time application. To control the attitude of Single-copter Barelang-Force (SBF), we applied a simple PID controller to control the roll, pitch, and yaw. As for the mechanical design, the 3D printer machine has been chosen to fabricate the drone mechanic, also the Arduino nano has been used as the controller board to load the computation of attitude control. Some experiment has been carried out in real-time application to verify the performance of PID controller to control the attitude of SBF. The results show that the PID controller can cop to control the attitude whether it has been given an external disturbance (pushing by hand) during flying.
