Good day all,
I'm working on a project of designing a Quadcopter from the scratch, I have all my parts printed, I intend to use the following components, Arduino(microcontroller), brushless DC motors, ESCs , MPU6050, LiPo battery. But instead of using RC controllers for the movements, I intend to create my own controller (joystick) using XBee communication, I have two XBee modules already, but I'm finding it hard to know the right codes(program) I need to create the control mechanism.
I'll appreciate any help from anybody with such knowledge or someone that has done the same thing before.
Thanks
Welcome to the forum
Get the basics right before you go any further. A Uno is a bad choice for a quadcopter. There are much smaller and lighter Arduinos available such as the Uno compatible Nano and even smaller boards if needed
What is the level of your programming experience ?
I'd say intermediate
I've gone through it, but they used RC transmitter and receiver, which I can understand,
I intend to use XBee for the transmission, is that possible
There is probably no reason why you should not use XBee but get that working first. There are surely multiple hits here on the forum showing how to do it if you search
However, I predict that you will have more problems with the control and stabilisation side of things that the data communication
