Hi i have searched all over the inatructables, YouTube, and Google and can't find anything.
I am wanting to make a quadcopter
With Arduino
I have a Arduino pro mini and Arduino Uno
I am willing to use both
I have 4 brushless motors and propellers
And a base
I have a old remote control car that I am willing to take the rc part out of the car
I don't have a ESC but I was wondering if i could somehow turn like the Arduino pro mini if I didn't need it into the ESC?
I really just would like to no how to build this with all the stuff I have i also have a gyroscope sensor
Please tell me how to build this!
I don't want to
Control the quad with my phone or over wifi
Please give me help and tell me how to do this
If u can a code, and a diagram
Please help...
Thanks Arduino biggest fan!
Googling "DIY quadcopter" turns up 578,000 hits. Surprisingly, googling "DIY quadcopter Arduino" turns up 696,000 hits.
Surely you can find some good advice in 1 or 2 of those hits.
There should be a zillion examples online. Most of them will be very low quality but I'm sure there's a few good ones out there. Stay away from Instructables. They are usually low quality.
First: Why do you want to build a quadcopter? Buying one already built is going to be infinitely cheaper and faster. If you want to learn how the motors work and how to put bigger motors onto an existing copter then you should do that. Don't bother with the Arduino stuff. If you want to learn how the flight software really works, then get an existing copter chassis and add an Arduino to that. Don't try to build the whole thing from scratch. Use the existing components everywhere you can.
Yes, you will need one ESC per motor.
Which gyro sensor? One that was recommended by some online tutorial? Then use that tutorial.
Take a look at the parts that are available from www.hobbyking.com
I can't find what I am looking for on the web their like not what I want
I am doing it for school i have to
Please help me

We certainly do not know what you want.
What does your school instructor want?
My school instructor
Wants a small quadcopter
Controlled by a 27mhz RC transmitter and receiver
Then given to the Arduino
He want a Arduino Uno, or a pro mini, or a Lilly pad for the project I have a uno and pro mini
I have a rc 27 MHz receiver
He also wants a gyro installed
I am making a tiny one
Please help me with this I have googled but can't find what I/him ia looking for
A quadcopter which is capable of lifting an Arduino UNO is a relatively large copter. I would not attempt to do it with anything smaller than 100mm diameter rotors. And it would not be easy to do at that size if I was hand-building the frame instead of using one engineered by someone else.
The Pro Mini is probably more realistic. It has the same processing capacity as the UNO but the size and weight is much smaller. You still don't get down to "tiny" with that much dead weight. In my view, "tiny" is anything under 25mm rotors.
You know quadcopters can't fly without gyro chips? It's not an optional extra. MPU6050 is probably a good one to start with. Buy one on a breakout board and see if you can make it talk to your Uno or Mini.
It seems that your Google might be broken. Try another search engine. You are not one of the first hundred thousand people to think of doing this.
thanks inalready found a good youtube video called the cheapass quad, dosnt have everything i want but i cant edsit the stuff i dont want.
i will be using a multiwii if i can.
is there someway i can make a esc with my arduino?

No. With an Arduino you always need extra components to control motors.
