Check out the specs for the diydrones quad. Should point you in the right direction. They also offer a kit which includes all electronics. If you want to use different ones, i'm sure some members could point you in the right direction, but I would suggest google. It is an open source project so the code can be changed for whatever electronics you choose.

hi,
i need some advice. I'm trying to purchase a rc controller for the Arducopter Kit (Pre-soldered and Tested). I was wondering which one would be the fastest, easiest, and compatible to the build (with minimal issues in initial setup). I bought another controller yet connecting it was a real pain. Any suggestions would be helpful Maybe something that others on DIY have used would be even better, in case there is an issue and someone can help.

thanks

I have read the information you have posted, Thanks guys!

But i would like to read something about why I should choose a specifik motor/ESC/batteri and so on, i would like to learn what things in the descriptions of an item actually means. How a controllingcard works etc..

Where can i learn all this?

I'm very interested in your questions. I'm working on a general FAQ. Please email me your questions and I'll try to find you an answer. Good questions will get included in the FAQ.

I searched but cannot find a definition of PID.
Any help appreciated!

Julie, did you check the glossary on the front page of the site?

Slaps forehead.
I saw the FAQ and been moving around the site, but didn't hit that page.
I really like the software, its well framed and written clearly. Not a first time fluke I take it :)

* PID: Proportional/Integral/Derivative control method. A machine control algorithm that allows for more accurate sensor-motion control loops and less over control. See this for more.

Here is a link to the document I'm updating.

Also, Here is a link to the FAQ I'm working on. I'm filtering questions out of this Forum and from other sites about the ArduPilot projects to build this document.
