I got this mini quadcopter which flies. But, I thought, I would program it to take some autonomous decision. Since, it has both gyro and 3 axis accelerometer built-in, it should be capable of auto correct few flight problems. It has an Atmega328p chip. Means there is possibility that I can...

Hey all, I haven't been on the forums for a very long time, life has been kind of busy due to exams and other things getting in the way of RC. But now it's time to pick up the transmitter again. I say that, but I must apologize, as this post is not strictly RC related (although it could be in...

I am working on a project where I use an arduino uno in the loop with a rc receiver feeding information into it, then the uno is sending information into an APM 2.5 autopilot to control a drone. The first approach i was using involved code that used pulseIn to read the pwm from the receiver...

Okay, first off: I built a headtracker (link to the project on RCG) using an arduino that plugs into the trainer port and inputs the head movements (all 3 axis if I wish) to 3 different channels that I can choose (at input, choose PPM1-8). It works like a charm and I can trim it using the GUI...

Hey guys so this is my first build and I am basing it on Davids tricopter build. I got a Multiwii from hobby king and I am confused on how to make it so it knows it's a tri not a quad. I have the Multiwii GUI but I seems I need something else because there are no options in the software to...

Can either Spectrum or FrSky or Turnigy based transmitters be hacked to talk to arduino based micro-controller? Is there an easier way to connect to & use just a module for this purpose?

Hello all, This might be a dumb question but I ask about the possibility of running a dual or redundant receiver setup in a single aircraft to do some practical range tests with various receivers (specifically OrangeRx receivers... just haven't had the best of luck with them). Is it possible...

Hello all, so this was my first ever experiment into the multirotor world! I chose to build a tri because I like the way they look, and their unique flying abilities! Not as robotic as a quad, and almost natural and fluid like! Inspiration was taken from rcexplorer.se, Cheers David! and the...

Hey Guys - wanted to share a new project with you. I've taken my trusty Tricopter and am working on my own Arduino based controller for it. Thought I would share the development: http://www.ilovefpv.com/arduino-project-gyro-based-rc-controller

Hi Guys thought i would start a new thread for the progress of my quad build, soon after my tri build (Still tweaking this) i finally started my QuadX build. Simple 3mm Ply and 15mm x 15mm Arms. I have made this quite small as i want something to challenge me when flying. The arm lengths are all...
