Make an Open Source Drone (Udemy.com)

The course is very detailed and easy to follow. The instructor takes the time to clearly explain each process, including important dos and don’ts, which makes learning much more effective. It’s truly an amazing course and definitely worth buying. I do wish there was a bit more explanation about other transmitters like RadioMaster. However, since many of the terms are similar, I can explore that separately through additional research. It’s also possible that this is covered later in the course and I just haven’t reached that part yet. Overall, I highly recommend this course.

Alhammdulilah. I am very happy to take this course, because I got the knowledge that I was not expected. Actually Dr. peter you did a great work and your effort as to be recommended, I appreciate your effort. I have no ideal on quad-copter or drone generally but with this course am able to come up (design) with my quad-copter and not only that I can also impact the knowledge to another person with out look for any book. I we also appreciate Udemy for there support and hardworking for making a positive impact to the world through technology. Thanks you all.

As a 14-year-old beginner in drone building, this course really helped me understand the functions of all the drone’s parts, how everything is assembled, and, most importantly, how to fly it. Unlike other courses that are just made up of PowerPoints, this one actually had clear videos and showed the drone being assembled right in front of us. That made it way easier to follow along and way more engaging. Since the drone is quite powerful, its components—especially the flight controller and remote controller—aren’t cheap, and some parts can be difficult to find in certain regions. All things considered, the course was super beneficial, insightful, and fascinating. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s new to drone making!

I build a drone following this course 4 years ago. I like the detailed setup with the good quality video and easy to understand his voice. Very good hands-on course and good explanation of the needed theory to know at least the basic of what you have created. Not sure if lesson 80 with use Power Module is optimal, no response to questions in Q&A.

I'm very happy with the results and am now able to practice flying. I couldn't have done it without this course. The only suggestions that I would make would be to remove everything that is associated with the Crius FC. That caused a little confusion. Also, there were some difficulties in getting the transmitter to arm, due to a couple of error messages. So perhaps some time addressing those kind of issues would be a good thing.

Good course but it is about five years late with the incredible changes happening in the drone's field. This drone is ugly, too heavy and the recommended radio is way too cheap ! Updated after having tried on modern controller card + small gps etc, I have been unable to reproduce de simplicity and efficiency of this drone, especially the return to home function and other GPS functions where I failed miserably. So thumbs up for the ugly drone!!

The course was excellent except section 83.860. The initial setup wizard was basically skipped. I would have liked to have had explanations on setting up the other 8 parts in addition to the compass. Hence I would liked to rate it at 4.7, but 5 stars is closest. Now to start his next drone course.

This course was exactly what I was looking for. Professor Dalmaris is patient and thorough. Everyone just starting out in the drone hobby should take this course. Great job! I look forward to taking the additional courses that I've already signed-up for. Especially those with Professor Dalmaris. Thank you.

In this course, the instructor Peter Dalmaris goes well in depth and demonstrates the step by step procedure by doing it in front of the camera! This really helps when you are building and following along. Unlike other drone courses, Peter also does a great job of providing an upgrade option, within this course, so you are not just building a basic drone, but also bringing it in compliance with what's currently available in the intermediate drone's range of controllers. He is really responsive and is very encouraging towards young minds who want to learn this technology!

This drone was a project that took time and patience. I ran into challenges along the way but learned from them all. The technology utilized in this drone is amazing. The accuracy of the GPS is scary. I am now the defacto electronic maker in my family (my bro went to Devry institute (USA)) :) thank you Peter.
