Alternative solution AS1:

The travel measurement of the incremental encoder is evaluated via the Micoc and a speed is determined. The reel is driven by a DC motor, which is connected to the shaft and the reel via a beam coupling. The ascencion is realized by a freerun, in the descent a raised platform is used for landing to guarantee the safe line guidance. A single battery with optocoupler is sufficient.

Alternative solution AS2:  

The travel measurement obtained by means of a potentiometer is evaluated via the Micoc and a speed is determined. The reel is operated by a stepper motor whose step-by-step motion (possibly in full-step mode) is transmitted to the shaft and the reel in a vibration-damped manner by means of a double-loop coupling. The ascencion is realized via a freerun. To guarantee safe line guidance, a raised landing frame is used on the drone, as well as an eyelet near the ground. Microcontroller and motor are powered by separate batteries.

Alternative solution AS3:  

The travel measurement obtained by means of a potentiometer is evaluated via the Micoc and a speed is determined. The reel is operated by a stepper motor whose movement is transmitted to the shaft and the reel by a belt and two pinions. The ascencion is realized by a freerun, and for the landing, a raised platform is used to guarantee the safe line guidance. The microcontroller and motor are powered by separate batteries.
