Abstract: DE MESA, ANNA THERESA D. and LUYA, RAYCHELLE ANNE C. Design and Construction of a Low-cost Arduino-based Quadrotor Aircraft for Surveillance. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electronics and\ Communications Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2016. Adviser: Engr. Edwin R. Arboleda. The design and construction of a low-cost Arduino-based quadrotor aircraft for surveillance was conducted from March 2014 to June 2016. The general objective of the design was to design and construct a low-cost Ardunio-based R/C quadrotor surveillance aircraft that transmits video data for monitoring and storage purposes. Specifically, it aimed to design and construct a flight controller board using Arduino Nano for the microcontroller as the main component and determine a suitable RC-UAV design. It also aimed to determine a method of transmitting live video feed to a ground station where it can be viewed and/or edited. In line with this, it also aimed to select an appropriate on- board camera setup. Additionally, it aimed to test and evaluate the overall performance of the design project in terms its functionality, aesthetics, workability, economy, and safety. Lastly, it aimed to conduct a cost computation and cost analysis of the study. For the flight controller board, Arduino Nano ATMega 328, 6DOF IMU, and Logic Converter were used. The 6DOF IMU sensor was used to measure angular velocity and define the aircraft’s orientation necessary for a stable flight. Arduino Nano ATMega 328 was also used as the microcontroller because of its compatibility to the requirements of the design. For the video transmission system, via RF signals, specifically at 5.8 GHz frequency, was the scheme selected to transmit the live video feed from the on-board camera to the ground station where these video data can be viewed through a laptop computer as a display device. The design project was tested and evaluated at the Engineering Science Building, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, and in Bacoor City, Cavite. The design project was tested and evaluated by thirty participants. There was an excellent rating on the four categories: functionality, aesthetics, economy, and safety, and a satisfactory rating on workability. The overall performance of the system was excellent and the total cost of the system amounted to P 11, 490.00.
