ELEV-8 QUADCOPTERThe ELEV-8 Quadcopter is a flying robotic platform that is lifted and propelled by four fixed rotors. There are no fixed wings; all of the lift is created from the rotors. Unlike standard helicopters a

quadcopter uses fixed-pitch blades, whose rotor pitch does not vary as the blades rotate; control of vehicle motion is achieved by varying the relative speed of each rotor to change the thrust and torque produced by each.

The quadcopter uses a HoverFly board with a Propeller multicore microprocessor to electronically control stabilization of the aircraft. The benefits to this system are a stable platform, with no mechanical linkages for a small maneuverable and agile aircraft.

The kit provides an inexpensive way to get involved in the quadcopter arena. The kit includes; frame, mounting hardware, motors, speed controllers, propellers and the control board for flight stabilization. (the only thing you need to provide is the RC radio equipment, battery). We recommend a six channel RC radio.• Open under body for camera mounting options • Open Source; design files available online • Highly modifiable, for custom additions • Modular frame for fast repair • Protective motor mounts • Can fly with added payloads up to 2 lbs

Ready to use for bi-direc-tional, point-to-point communication in their default state, XBee modules can also support complex networking with additional configuration via serial commands sent from your microcontroller, or through Digiâ™s free X-CTU software. (PBASIC) and Propel-ler (Spin) codeThe XBee 802.15.4 Starter Kit includes the printed tutorial and the hardware required to complete the activities in Chapters 1 through 6, on your own BASIC Stamp or Propeller microcontroller development boards (sold separately).Also note 802.15.4 and ZB modules are unable to communicate with each other due to protocol differences; please refer to our XBee Comparison Chart to note differences in the modules and compatibility.

BASIC ANALOG AND DIGITALSTAMPS IN CLASS CURRICULUMBasic Analog and Digital is a 162-page tutorial that covers the essentials of 8-bit A/D and D/A conversion using a BASIC Stamp module. The text introduces PBASIC commands for A/D con-version with resistor / capacitor circuits, interfacing an ADC0831 8-bit A/D converter, scaling ana-log outputs into meaningful digital values, analyzing time-varying signals and using PWM as analog output. These concepts are conveyed using potentiometers, LEDs, speakers, photoresistors and buttons. The text was written by Andy Lindsay of Parallax.Board of Education Full Kit (#28103) is required to use this Stamps in Class text.

Inputs can be a voltage from 5-30VDC (AC compatible) and outputs can be either mechanical or solid state relays that can switch up to 12A loads, such as cooling fans, so-lenoids, heating elements and more.Simple parallel input/output control for ease of use or you can use the serial interface to minimize I/O pin usage. The logic circuits operate from 3.3V to 5V making them compatible with most microcontrollers. The ICs in the kit are all socketed making replacement easy should it ever be necessary. 8 green and 8 red LEDs indicate the status of input and outputs. 2 yellow LEDs indicate relay/logic power. Inputs can be configured to handle a different range of input voltages.This kit does not include Omron 12A SPDT or Sharp 8A Solid State Relays, they must be purchased separately. This kit re-quires relays to operate. Soldering equipment and experience is required for assembly.
