Quad Rotor Observer v5 flights with the new KKmulticopter blue board by JL Naudin

Quad Rotor Observer v5 tests flights with the KKmulticopter blue board

I have just tested the latest flight controller board from Minsoo Kim (the Blue board version).
This new board uses an ATMEGA 168 and a new firmware with lot of new features.
Here a video of the first tests flights of the Quad Rotor Observer (QRO) v5 with this new KKmulticopter BLUE board from Minsoo Kim.
As you will observe in the video, the hoovering of the QRO is very stable (hands off test). The model is also able to do a high speed manoeuvering and high speed turns due to the high performance of this new flight controller board (Woow... this is really fun and I enjoy a lot...)

 

Flight controller hardware:
KKmulticontroller "BlueBoard" from Minsoo Kim's
http://kkmulticopter.kr ) and based on the board of Rolf R Bakke

 

Flight controller firmware:
XXcontroller_KR_v1_0 based on assembly code by Rolf R Bakke converted by Mike Barton modified by Minsoo Kim and Jean-Louis Naudin

- 4 brushless motors DualSky XM2822CA 1450KV 7A
- 4 ESC 12A XC1210-BA
- Lipo battery 3S (11.1V) 2500 mAh
- receiver Corona CR6D 2.4 Ghz

Hello Patrice, the board diagram is widely published in the web, with the name kkmulticopter flight controler.
I have build myself a similar board with a ATMEGA 168 for my QRO v4, look at:

The latest version of the firmware source code v1.1 from Minsoo Kim can be downloaded at:

Here the diagram of my hands made flight controller fully compatible with the kkmulticopter blue board that I have used for my QRO v4 and tested successfully with the same firmware.

For those does'nt have time or the material to build the flight controller board, I recommend to use the ready made (with SMD components) KKmulticopter Blue board from Minsoo Kim HERE

Those propellers look interesting. Where are they from?

These propellers are taken from a old X-Ufo RC toy. I have just build a special adapter for the motor.

See below some photos.

You will find also a full tutorial (in french) for building yourself the QRO v4, v5 quadcopter at:

does the XXcontroller_KR_v1_0 firmware is compatible with this board??

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/__21977__HobbyKing_Multi_R...

secondly, how we provide power to the board as the battery is providing 11.1V and the board is operating on 5v, will i use a generic regulator or what?

sorry, i am so new at the field and i am building my first quad

thanks a lot
