Abstract:
A drone can be control at long distance using controller. The drone is used for missions that
are too dangerous for humans to do the jobs or it can make the jobs become easier. Drone
used for various such as scientific, agricultural, aerial photography, surveillance and others.
Nowadays, development is very rapid as is the work involved in high places. Many solutions to
solve problems that humans are unable to do the work. By using the drone to do the jobs reach
safely will be a solution and an efficient.
This study will focus on developing and design the drone with a painting capability which we
attach on the drone to the work for painting jobs. The Fly Colour Drone is divided into drone
thrust and painting mechanism. The drone is designed with six motors with 2kg thrust
capability.
Hexacopter motor proposed to be used, with ability rotation up to 450kV and connect to
painting mechanism attached with a 3D design plane. Spray gun that attaches with the drone
will be supplied by using power supply from the ground.
The painting mechanism that attached to the drone are fully programming using arduino uno
and the drone are manually controlled by human using flight controller PixRacer. The design
process was aided by Inventor design computer software and load is calculated accordingly to
the engineering requirement. This study is successfully designed, fabricated and tested in the
actual field. As an improvement to achieve the next level is to program the drone to do the
work on its own or known as autonomous without the need for a pilot to control the drone.
