Okay so I have a quad with Arduino and an IMU. It in itself is a stable flying platform (theoretically, I haven't built it yet). What I want to do is send from a PC/Laptop RC signals to the Arduino on the Quad. Basically make it Fly-by-Wire* with the "pilot" on the ground.
Is this even possible? am I in the right discussion? has this been done before?
Any help/ideas/questions would be greatly appreciated!
NOTE: I am not making a fully autonomous UAV. It is basically a Fly-By-Wire* Rc Quad w/ the pilot on the ground. I do not need telemetry/IMU data, a range of more than 10 meters, GPS, Airspeed, Altitude, waypoints, ect. All I need is to say "cyclic" left/right, forward/back, collective increase/decrease, rudder left/right to the autopilot.
*Fly-By-Wire: I know they are all FBW. When I say FBW I mean the autopilot stabilizing the aircraft while I tell it where to fly.
