For now the development is stopped because I moved abroad for some time, but at least the quad flew before I left, so the code should be somehow right :).
Unfortunaly no video, I made it fly in a rush before I left, in my garage with still the arduino connected to the computer. It wasn't fancy enough for a video
Thanks for that, and the link. 800g is more than enough for a little camera, and I'm sure from the images more can be shaved off the copter itself to maximise this. Looking forward to watching this progress more on your return.
I don't have a wiring diagram yet.. I am planning to do one soon.
You can look at this one to have a general idea =>http://web.uvic.ca/~arasbm/quadcopter/www/images/AeroQuadUVicWiring.png It's pretty similar as my project, except they have got a 4 channels radio (I have a 6 channels radio) but otherwise it's kinda the same.
Cheers
My code is just an example and you shouldn't copy paste it into your arduino.
You will need to change the pin configurations, the PID coefficients, ESCs calibration config, etc
For arming it depends of your ESCs calibration. The code will work with my ESC calibration but you need to change the code or change the calibration of your esc to make it work. Try to arm one motor without any prop attached first.
And I will say it again, don't copy paste, change only the pin config and hope that it will work. The quad may start and then it will crash after 1 sec..
Hi GoussLegend, good work.
I am also planning to do the same project but I had question - any idea if your code can be implemented using Arduino Duemilanove?
Appreciate you sharing work.
Thanks again.
