Hi, new to the world, picked up a couple of used apm 2.6 arducopter flight controllers. Yes, I know they are ancient, and I know there are better modern ones at a good price, but this has become a battle of stubbornness now, even though there is better, they should work, and I have come to the...

I made an open-source, Arduino-based handheld transmitter. This handheld transmitter can be used in any robotics application that requires user input, but I'll mainly be using it for future custom RC planes. You can find all the files/documentation/software on GitHub. The transmitter includes...

Hi, Arduino is not multitask and each time you put delays, you stop the program execution. This make any lighting system very sequential and not realistic. This also reduces the capacity to do multiple other tasks in parallels I wanted to have wingtip strobes blinking fast two times and have a...

Hi all, I'm sharing my custom flight controller code written for the Teensy 4.0 and MPU6050 IMU. The best summary I've been able to prepare thus far: "dRehmFlight VTOL is a bare-bones flight controller for hobbyists or researchers wanting to get something flying fast with the ability to...

Hi FlightTest Forum, first time posting. Looking for some info on a project I am working on. Sorry if this is the wrong area. Basically, I want to build a custom RC transmitter using an Arduino Mega and OpenTX, simple enough... BUT, I also want it to be able to use it with the TBS Crossfire...

Hey Everyone, I've been working on a project over lockdown and thought I would share it with you all, hopefully it will be of interest to a few! I've been tinkering with Arudino boards now for a few years and one project I wanted to try was the balancing robot. This looked cool but I thought...

hello there beware of bad English 🤣 currently i'm building a wing ( more specifically i will use the FT spear) using my nine eagles j5 pro transmitter (sadly i crash landed the plane...) so i'm using arduino 101 in order to control the plane, but who ever knows the j5 pro, it doesnt have mixing...

Will the red (positive) be soldered from the inside? As far as I can see the black (negative) is soldered from the outside. I don't want to take risks because I don't have electricity or electronic information. I would appreciate it if experienced friends answer. Male barrel jack 2.1mm...

Welcome to my build log for my next Arduino controlled RC scratch built airplane! Much of this project is going to be based off of work (especially in terms of software) found in my previous build log here. After my *very* successful test flight with my last Arduino plane, I've decided to...

Its time for version 2 of the scratch build ROV. The last design worked on land, but not in the water...which is unfortunate for a vehicle designed to work under water. Despite this fail with version 1, there was a lot that I learned about ROV design that I can apply to version 2. The main goals...

Not sure where to post this. Maybe better off on the Flotetest forum, but I guess scratch building is technically correct. I was thinking about ocean kayaking the other day (as you do), and had an idea. I am a recreational fisherman, and have always wondered what I could see under the surface...

Hey guys, I'm using this thread as a sort of build log for my next Arduino airplane. I've been working with UAV avionics as a hobbyist, intern, and university researcher for about 2 years now. This will be the first plane, though, that I will lay out exactly how all the systems come together...

Hey guys, Check out this video of my most recent Arduino based scratch built RC airplane! Right now it is manually flown (with a scratch built Arduino transmitter), but I plan on developing autopilot modes and eventually make it fully autonomous - including takeoff and landing. The main...

Hi guis! In my main projekt (Dc3) i runned out of glue so i decided to built something else over the weekend. I like the shape of the corsair and i ever wanted to have a warbird :D. Anyway i had the problem, that you can´t get a 4 channel reciver from Multiplex and at the FT Corsair the ailerons...

Hi every one, I’m working on an octocopter that I would like to be auto-piloted. To do that, I’m considering to use my Arduino Mega 2560 to generate PWM signals to «*mimic*» a receiver. I’m using a SP Racing F3 and cleanflight. So more precisely, instead of using a RC command, I want the...

Hi all, I'm trying to implement control of my quad through an XBEE. I started on this thread, which got me into the Multiwii Serial Protocol. Another thread on the MultiWii forum goes into interfacing the board through Arduino, and this library was brought up, which should execute datalogging...

Hey guys, Just created my account and trying to figure this out.... Wanting to post a thread on my custom Arduino Tricopter build.... how do I go about doing that?? Thanks Charlie

I have a homemade plane made form recycled materials that uses a arduino to control it. Plane Specs 2200kv Brushless Motor(7$), 20 AMP ESC (coming in the mail), A arduino nano(2$) with a 2.4ghz radio pair(6$) with a 2nd arduino Uno(3$) with a pc using serial monitor and HY-SPF05 (2$) with a...

I just saw this blog post this morning. It mentions that there are commercial solutions to do this. If you're into DIY, this could be fun to play with, though. I'm also thinking of the possibilities to do whatever you want to the signals in the process. What comes in via PWM doesn't have to be...
