Hi
I want to buy a drone and connect its sensors (gyro etc) and motor drivers with arduino. Therefor controlling the robot using the arduino board.
Is any drone in sale that is suitable to connect with arduino.
Thanks a lot.
It's going to be tricky because most use a tiny ARM processor. The one I have handy (from a Syma X5C) has an ARM processor (Model HL004). It's 5mm square and has 32 pins. It's going to be hard to solder wires to those tiny pads after you remove the processor.
If you want radio control you will also need to figure out the radio chip (BEKEN BK2426 in my case).
You will probably want to run your Arduino straight off the LiPo battery (3.2-4.2V, 3.7V nominal). To run at less than about 3.8V you are supposed to reduce the Arduino speed to 8 MHz. You can get an Arduino Nano that is set up for that. Note that an ARM processor is typically much faster than an AVR processor. This will be made worse when you have to run the processor at 8 MHz.

Why not just buy a frame and make your own?
Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
Can you tell us your electronics, programming, Arduino, hardware experience?
Thanks.. Tom..
