Abstract
In an ever-changing world, the need for efficient and versatile tools for monitoring and
responding to various situations has become increasingly important. Our project, the "Multi-
Purpose Quadcopter Drone," addresses this need by combining the capabilities of a
quadcopter with advanced sensors and control systems. This drone is designed to serve
multiple functions, including monitoring landslides, natural calamities, night patrolling, and
weather conditions.The core of this project is the KK2 1.5 flight controller, which provides
stable flight performance and precise control of the drone. The drone is equipped with various
sensors, including the DHT11 for temperature and humidity measurements and MQ series
sensors for gas detection. These sensors are connected to a NodeMCU microcontroller,
allowing real-time data collection and transmission. The drone's ability to monitor landslides
and natural calamities is achieved by deploying it to areas prone to such events. It can capture
high-resolution images and video footage, enabling remote assessment and quick response to
emergencies. Night patrolling is made possible with the drone's built-in LED lights and night
vision camera, enhancing security and surveillance capabilities. Additionally, the drone is
equipped with a weather monitoring system, using the DHT11 sensor to collect
meteorological data such as temperature and humidity. This information is valuable for
various applications, including agriculture, research, and environmental monitoring. The
collected data is transmitted in real-time to a ground station, where it can be analyzed and
processed. This enables timely decision-making and emergency response. The drone's
versatility, coupled with its ability to cover difficult-to-reach or hazardous locations, makes it
a valuable asset in a wide range of scenarios. This project showcases the potential of
combining drone technology with advanced sensor systems and control mechanisms for
multi-purpose applications. It has the potential to contribute to disaster management,
surveillance, and environmental monitoring, ultimately enhancing safety and security in
various situations.

Chapter 4: Methodology
• Plan the integration of components, including the KK2 1.5 flight controller,
ESP8266,ESP32-Cam Module,MQ Series Sensors.
• Select and configure the Blynk IoT platform for system control and monitoring.
Hardware Setup:
• The primary function of the KK2 1.5 flight controller is to stabilize the quadcopter. It
constantly monitors the data from the gyroscope and accelerometer to determine the
quadcopter's orientation and make adjustments to keep it level.
• You can configure the flight controller using the onboard LCD display and buttons. This is
where you set parameters like PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) values, motor
layouts, and other flight characteristics. PID values are crucial for tuning the quadcopter's
stability and response.
• The input devices,typically buttons, allow you to navigate through the flight controller's
menus and make adjustments to settings.These settings can affect the quadcopter's
behavior in flight.
• The KK2 1.5 flight controller sends signals to the ESCs, which in turn control the motors.
By varying the speed of each motor, it can adjust the quadcopter's orientation and
movement in real-time to maintain stability.
• The onboard LCD screen provides real-time feedback about the quadcopter's orientation
and performance. It's essential for setup, testing, and in-flight monitoring.
• KK2 1.5 supports various flight modes, including self-level mode, acrobatic mode, and
others. The flight controller can be programmed to switch between these modes based on
user input or other triggers.
• The KK2 1.5 flight controller often includes safety features like failsafe mode, which
ensures a safe response in case of signal loss or other emergencies.
Software Development:
• The DHT11 sensor is used to measure temperature and humidity. It periodically reads these
values.The MQ series sensors continuously monitor air for the presence of specific gases.
They can trigger an alert if hazardous levels are detected.
14
• The ESP32-CAM captures images using its built-in camera.The frequency of image
capture can be set according to your project requirements, e.g., at regular intervals or upon
specific events.
• The ESP32-CAM can be programmed to send data to a remote server or cloud service via
Wi-Fi. This data can include sensor readings, captured images, and any alerts triggered by
the sensors.MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a common protocol used
for such communication.
• Verify the functionality of each component, including the KK2 1.5 flight controller,
ESP8266,ESP32-Cam Module,MQ Series Sensors.
• Create controls for activating and deactivating the system, triggering alerts.
