Complete EasyStar Parts list
Hello All,
After a couple of crashes, I've had to rebuild this a few times. Also, since I'm new to this, I have a lot of the orders laying around. I searched and didn't find this as succinct, so I thought I'd post it.
This is a complete parts list with URLs and prices for a ground up build of an EasyStar with Ardupilot.
I'm a cheap bastard, so the list will generally reflect that.
It includes Tx/Rx, Motor, Battery with Ardupilot, sensors, shield, GPS and Xbee telemetry.

Great list. I've been looking to make my own UAV, and I couldn't find a list with all the neccessary componenets. Cheers!

You need the $24.95 ardupilot board.
You do NOT need the regular arduino deci, arduino mega, etc....

basicallly, yes. The GPS and XYZ sensors are needed as well, but in terms of the actual boards that you need, the ardupilot and shield kit are it.
ArduPilot - Arduino Compatible UAV Controller w/ ATMega328
Co-Pilot Sensor Module (Thermopiles)

Um I was wondering, in the list why do you list the Easy Star airframe as seperate parts TowerHobbies.com provide a kit with all the pieces?

I could always only find the ARF or RTF kit, which has a motor, prop, etc...in it.
You don't really need those brushed parts when you want brushless, which is what the list is set up for.
The kit would work fine, you may just be paying for a few parts you don't really need.
