[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [ROS Projects] Quadcopter shooting high power lasers controlled with motion capture (Otus tracker)

[Charles Blouin]

Here is the BOM for now:

Quadcopter: [Outlaw 270](https://hobbyking.com/en_us/quanum-outlaw-270-carbon-fiber-quadcopter-racer-set-arf.html) (125 USD)
Receiver: Orange RX R618 XL (10 USD)
Controller: Spektrum DX7s
Computer to controller interface: Arduino copy (5 USD/board) with PPM cable made from an audio cable.
[Otus tracker, base stations and software](https://www.rcbenchmark.com/product/otus-tracker-kit/) (2180 USD)
Spare props (About 10 USD)
Sport netting (About 100 USD)
Laser: [500 mW purple](https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.6.2.f5Kb5v&orderId=82856556695214&productId=2021486953) (30 USD)
Glasses: [Jtech Photonics](https://jtechphotonics.com/?product=laser-safety-goggles-for-445nm-lasers) (3x 25 USD)
Black Balloon: (Dollar store close to Halloween or Amazon)
PWM controlled relay (8 USD)


Total: about 2500 USD + transmitter (100 to 500 USD), including the quadcopter and the motion capture equipment.
Most of this is reusable for many other projects if you have a quadcopter lab.
