BUILD HOPPER
Step 1: Battery Installation
Place Hopper on a flat surface and locate the battery port at the rear of the drone
Insert the battery in the port as shown
Ensure the arrow on the battery is facing up and is pointing towards the drone
When the battery is inserted, the drone will perform a systems check that will spin each motor/propeller
If you notice any propellers that do not spin, make sure the propellers are installed correctly, and the motors are connected properly to the PCB
Step 2: Battery Charging Cable
Connect the charger to the micro USB port just below the battery
Step 3: Battery Charging
Connect the USB end to a wall charger or computer and charge the battery until the front lights turn green
Batteries can also be charged using the included FTW Battery Pack
This multi-charger supports charging of [3] batteries at the same time and can be connected through a USB port
Note: Battery is charging when the red light is illuminated
Airfoil
A body (such as an airplane wing or propeller blade) designed to provide a desired reaction force when in motion relative to the surrounding air
Airframe
The Airframe is the main body of the drone that every other component attaches to
Anti-Clockwise [A]
Anti-Clockwise (or Counter Clockwise) [A] motion is one that proceeds in the opposite direction as a clock's hands
Battery
Energy source used to supply power to the drone
Clockwise [C]
Clockwise [C] motion is one that proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands
Firmware
Firmware is permanent software programmed into a read-only memory
Gimbal
The mechanism that allows for different position of the camera on the drone
Micro-USB
a miniaturized version of the Universal Serial Bus interface which enables the direct charging of the drone's battery
Motor
A motor is powered by electricity that supplies motive power for moving parts
PCB
A Printed Circuit Board is a board design with a base board and copper traces to maintain connectivity between electronic components such as LED's, integrated circuits, and resistors for your devices
Propeller Twist
A differece in angle between the blade at its tip, and at the point where it meets the propller hub
Propellers
Mechanical device for propelling an aircraft or boat, consisting of a revolving shaft with two or more broad, angled blades attached to it
