From the Instructable:
Main Features:
- X mode flying
- MPU-6000 gyro & accelerometer sensor for flight stabilization
- USB battery recharging on the transmitter, the copter plugs into the transmitter to recharge
- When the copter plugs into the transmitter, the user can synchronize to a random radio frequency
- Controlled using a Wii Classic Controller, which plugs into the transmitter
- Running a modified MultiWii firmware, which is open source, written with Arduino and Processing
Dimension Specs:
- Square center body is 1.5" by 1.5"
- Propellers are about 45mm in diameter
- Diagonal motor to motor distance is 110mm
- Motors are supposedly "X-Twin" spare motors, they come with the propellers
Electrical Specs:
- Flight battery is a single Li-poly cell, 3.7V, 350mAH, 20C
- Controller battery is a single Li-ion cell, 3.7V, 1000mAH
- Uses ATmega128RFA1 microcontroller for both copter and transmitter
- This particular ATmega has a built-in 2.4GHz transceiver, 16 possible channels, 250kbit/s or 2mbit/s max depending on the standard being used.
Design Highlights:
- The "arms" and "body" are connected by locking slots, making them easy to build and repair
- Motors slide right into the arm
- Two layer 1.6mm thick FR4 PCB used (this is the default for a lot of PCB manufactures), the components are all on a single side (easy to assemble)
- All open source project, schematics + PCB + code all available. Heavy use of Arduino and Zigduino involved.

Comment by penpen on April 28, 2012 at 2:33am i think the fact this is on instructable with all necessary informations means this is a "do it yourself".....
Comment by Jan Detlefsen on April 28, 2012 at 3:18am awesome, some nice ideas there with usb charging, etc.
Great project and innovative ideas. I am amazed at the increasing use of PCB material for structural applications.

Season Two of the Trust Time Trial (T3) Contest has now begun. The fourth round is an accuracy round for multicopters, which requires contestants to fly a cube. The deadline is April 14th.24 members
