ОрбиКрафт 3D

The spacecraft contains in its composition the equipment, which ensures the performance of its main task. This equipment is called the payload.

In the basic part of the designer Orbikraft there is one payload - the camera. To create your own payloads, you can use the Arduino hardware and software platform.

Information exchange between the Arduino microcontroller and the on-board computer takes place with the help of an expansion card (so-called shield), which is installed on the board with a microcontroller. The expansion board contains a connector for connecting to the cable network by means of a standard designer cable. Various peripherals can be connected to this board various projects based on Arduino. In our lessons we will show what projects can be implemented for the payload of the spacecraft.

As the Arduino board is used Arduino Mega 2560.
