DJI Mavic Bait Drop

thingiverse

I chose to share this project with everyone :-) This can be used for fishing bait drops or any other item you want to drop from your drone. I built a larger box because I use a 9-volt battery to power the Adriano and Servo motor. The design allows users to change the size of the controller and battery compartment by swapping out the screws that hold it in place. I created a release pin, but found that a metal rod worked even better. The Arduino code is also included. Here's what you need: 1 x Arduino Nano 1 x 100K Resistor 1 x LDR (Light dependent resistor) 1 x switch On the remote, the C2 button can be programmed to turn the front LED's on or off when recording starts. This triggers the release. I had to cover the LDR sensor with aluminum foil to block sunlight because the only filament I had was glow-in-the-dark.
