Hello , I am new to the whole motor stuff. I have a question :
I want to build a helicopter with the arduino uno :
What motors am I supposed to use. The one for height will only spin 1-way , with the speed depending on the power I provide and the other is going to spin both ways (with speed depending on power).
Look on hobby website

In case you are puzzled by the responses, this is an Arduino forum and you question has nothing to do with and Arduino at all.
It has to do with the arduino , Im using one to make it -_- .
I have the UNO R3 , some light metal thing , wires , LEDS and the only things that are missing are motors

No, it really, really doesn't.
It's a bit like saying "I have a Blaupunkt radio, what sort of car do I need?"
So you cant connect a god damn H bridge , some batteries , motors and the arduino together? Thats braindidd!e
Moderator edit: mind your language.
Of course you can connect those things together.
Are you just being obtuse, or can you really not understand that your original question has got nothing at all to do with the Arduino?
I have a diesel engined car - what colour should it be?
( one answer is, of course "not white")
OP said "with the Arduino Uno".... Presumably as the brains.
Obviously this is a poor choice, a Pro Mini would be lighter and smaller.
But as for sizing motor / frame / ESCs/batteries go to a RC forum where people
have experience of this.
What motors am I supposed to use.
How is this question related to an arduino ?
Are you not cognizant of the fact that your question is determined by physics , not uC technology or programming ?

We could , but we wouldn't because be stupid when you can just order an ESC from HOBBYKING and use the servo library.
Why would anyone use a god damn H-Bridge for a helicopter ? That is just plain stupid. In case you were born in the dark ages,
helicopter tail rotors don't reverse direction . They have variable pitch propellors that reverse pitch. (duh !)
You dont know what kind of thing I wanna make. I only need to know what do i need to get a the damn thing to lift off the ground

Which is why we keep telling you to try a site that specializes in the mechanics of such devices, and not a site for microcontrollers.

No, you're right, we don't.
Maybe the specialists will be able to guess better.
sp. "want to"
