Good day Everyone,Way back in college I was making the this Android Controlled Quadrotor project with bluetooth as its means of communication, I successfully made a control for it but the problem is that the code inside the main board. I was quite dissapointed when I moved into another project just because the code the quadrotor's code for flying didn't work. Having done all the research and money spent I was really into deep disspointment that after that hard work I did not attain what I was…See More

Good day guys,I'm trying to reopen my project in college its a quadrocopter controlled by an android phone. Back in college I'm having a problem in the RED LED(it won't turn off), but I'm still having values outputted by the sensors. Right now I'm still having that problem. Do you have suggestions on how to fix it? I'm having GPS detached from my IMU, because I just want first to manipulate on the orienation sensing of the copter.Thanks,Joseph Nicholas R.

"You hold the reset button after hitting upload and then release it the second you see the tx led blink for the first time. If you just have the cable and not the ftdi basic then there is a way to hack into the ftdi chip from a no longer used arduino."
