PX4 Bixler Chassis

3689509647?profile=original

This is my first contribution, is the PX4 Electronics Chassis for the Bixler based on the 3DR chassis (Images for the angles) and the files from Simon referred in this post, I modified the shape in order to make it geometric and added some holes in the structure to make it lighter, the electronics base is designed as a damping structure but the 2mm acrylic plastic (methacrylate) might be too stiff. I also added two supports for the Pitot Tube for the Air Speed sensor.

This are the parts after the laser cut, the dark dirt is a result of the heat from the laser, just used alcohol to clean it.

This is the assembled chassis, it contains the uBlox GPS, the Freescale Diff pressure sensor, the arming button and the buzzer for the PX4:

Now its time to start the development inside the PX4, so hopefully I'll be flying by the end of march.

This are the design files:

Unfortunately I have not test it on my Bixler since I have it in another place, feel free to comment and give me some (good xD) feedback.

I invite you to check an old but nice project I made when I was in my bachelor.
