ОрбиКрафт 3D

The spacecraft contains the target hardware, which ensures the implementation of its main task. This equipment, for the sake of which the spacecraft is created, is called the payload.

The basic structure of the OrbiCraft functional kit contains one payload - a camera. You can use the Arduino hardware / software platform to create your own payloads.

Information exchange between the Arduino microcontroller and the on-board computer takes place using an expansion board (the so-called shield), which is installed on a board with a microcontroller. The expansion board contains a connector for connecting to a cable network using a standard functional kit ribbon cable. This board can connect various peripherals used for various Arduino-based projects. In our lessons, we will show what projects can be implemented for the spacecraft payload.

As the Arduino board is used Arduino Mega 2560.
