[0001] The present invention relates to a dron controller board,

The present invention relates to a controller board of a drone, and more particularly, to a controller board which can be used not only as a drone by connecting a plurality of propeller arms, but also as a maneuvering means capable of controlling the same kind of drones Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > controller board < / RTI >

As the use of drones is diversified and the accessibility of the public is increasing, the demand for educational drills is continuously increasing. However, in the conventional drone, a controller unit (OCU) is separately provided in addition to a controller unit (RCU) for controlling the output and rotation direction of the rotor.

Therefore, when the conventional drone is used for the purpose of software training, there is a problem that programming for controlling each controller unit (RUC / OCU) needs to be trained on another platform.

As another example of a method of controlling the drones, there is a method of controlling a dron equipped with a Bluetooth modem for transmitting and receiving information by using a smart phone equipped with Bluetooth.

However, in order to use the above method, a separate smart phone is required. In the case of using it for the purpose of software education, there is a problem that a programming language suitable for an operating system (OS) of a smartphone must be additionally learned separately from a programming language of a dron .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a control board of a drones, And to provide a dron controller board which can be used as a controller board.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for measuring an inertia of a vehicle, comprising a board, a communication module provided on the board, and an inertial measurement unit, wherein a plurality of propeller arms are connected to the board, The present invention also provides a controller board for a dron controller which can be used as a controller for controlling a board connected to a plurality of propeller arms.

And the control signal generated by the direction and tilt of the board used as the controller board of the control means is transmitted to control the board used as the drone.

The present invention having the above-described structure can be used not only as a dron for connecting a plurality of propeller arms, but also as a maneuvering means for controlling the same kind of drones.

In addition, the number of propeller arms can be easily changed into tricopter (3 propeller), quadcopter (4 propeller), hexacopter (6 propeller) and so on. There is an effect that can learn drone's flying principle.

In addition, since the drones and the control board of the control means are the same, the operation method, structure and programming can be learned on the same platform.

4 is a reference view showing an example of an operation method using an inertial measurement unit of a controller board of a dron which can be used as a steering means according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In order to highlight the effects of the present invention, the present invention has been developed based on the premise that the present invention is used for educational purposes. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

As used herein, the term "Micro Controller Unit (MCU)" generally refers to a dedicated processor for controlling a particular system. This specification is intended to encompass electronic devices that serve as the brain of a drone, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), an auxiliary memory (RAM), a main board, a drive circuit and an input / output device .

Further, "Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU) " generally refers to a device for measuring the speed and direction of a moving object, gravity, and acceleration. Is used herein to mean a sensor used for measuring the speed and direction of the drone, gravity, and acceleration, such as a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a GPS, and other sensors.

Referring to FIG. 1, a controller board 100 of a dron which can be used as a steering means according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a board 10, an inertial measurement unit 14, and a communication module 30, The propeller arms 20 can be mounted or separated.

The board 10 is provided with a micro control unit 12 and a battery (not shown). The board 10 may be formed in various shapes, but it is preferable that the board 10 is provided in a polygonal or circular plate shape for educational use.

The inertia measurement unit 14 is provided on the board 10. The inertia measurement unit 14 functions to measure the velocity and direction of the board 10, gravity, and acceleration.

The communication module 30 is provided on the board 10. Conventional drones are also equipped with a similar communication module for transmitting and receiving control information and control information. However, the communication module 30 of the present invention is provided for interlocking with the same type of board 10 on which the same communication module 30 is mounted, and its purpose is somewhat different.

The propeller arm 20 may be detachably installed at equal intervals along the periphery of the board 10. At this time, it is preferable that the propeller arm 20, the motor frame 24, and the propeller 26 are formed as one module and fixed to the board 10 by bolts or the like so as to be easily removable. The board 10 on which the propeller arm 20 is mounted is used as a drone.

When the propeller arm 20 is detached from the board 10, the following advantages are obtained. First, when the present invention is used as a maneuvering device, the propeller arm 20 can be removed from the board 10 to easily hold the board 10. In addition, when an extra space for further coupling the propeller arm 20 to the board 10 is secured, or when the board 10 is manufactured in the shape of a wide circular plate, the tricoperator 3 Propeller), Quad Copter (4 propellers), Hexacopter (6 propellers), and so on. Since the principle of the drone is changed according to the number of propellers, the present invention has the effect of educating the driving principle of various multi-copter drones to the students at a minimum cost.

4, the inertial measurement unit 14 provided on the board 10 is used to control the steering signal generated by the direction and inclination of the board 10 used as the steering means, So that the output of the propeller arm 20 and the direction of rotation of the propeller arm 20 can be controlled to be synchronized with each other. Especially, when the dron is controlled by the direction and inclination of the board 10, it is possible to intuitively understand (teach) the behavior of the drones to the students.

In addition, the board 10 may be provided with an operation key 40. The operation keys 40 function to transmit an input (command) signal to the same type of board 10 interlocked through the communication module 30 described above. The operation key 40 preferably includes a button for switching the role of the drone and the control means, a button for controlling the output of the rotor, and a button for operating the direction of the drones. It is preferable that the arrangement and configuration of the buttons (or sticks) provided in the control key 40 are provided in accordance with a user's intention based on a known technique widely used in the market.

Hereinafter, a simple procedure of using the controller board of the dron which can be used as the control means as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG.

First, a plurality of the present invention should be provided. When two of the present invention are provided, the propeller arm 20 may be connected to one of them, and the other one may be used as a maneuvering means. At this time, the role of the board 10 is switched by a button provided on the operation key 40. [ The principle that the drones are matched with the steering means is not a main subject of the present invention, and thus the process is omitted.

Subsequently, the board 10 to be used as a drone can be controlled through the inclination and direction of the board 10 used as the steering means. Further, the board 10 to be used as a drone can be easily controlled using the operation keys 40.

Finally, if the present invention is used for software education, the effect is very large. This is because the drones and the control means are made on the same platform, so that the software programmed in the same format can be applied, and the software for the programming material can be easily produced. In addition, the number of propeller arms is arbitrarily applied, so that it is possible to train the principle and control algorithm of various multi-copter drones at a low cost.
