Hello,
I am planning to build a mini quadcopter. The specifications will be:
- Distance between motors: 30cm
- Prop size: 8x3.8
- Total weight: 500 - 650g (depending on motor and esc combination)
I am not sure which motor + esc combination to use. My choi
Hi!
I successfully build some Mikrokopters (mikrokopter.de) already and wanted to take a look at Arducopter too as it's 100% open source and seems to be easier to customize and play with.
I built my first one now and have the following question: If I c
Hi All,
I think it’s time to upgrade my motors and ESC’s. I am new to the electric hobby, so when looking at new motors, and comparing them I really don’t know what to look for.
What I have now:

my problem is the blue led on the imu v2 not locked because the baud rates in the ardupilot and the arduImu not the same ...
can some one tell me where i can find the baud rate in the ardupilot code and in the imu code to change it ..
or if some

But still, if somebody can come up with a formula ( battery size , prop size,
motor ) to get at less 50% of that it would be great .

Hi All,
I am just starting to play with my APM and with Arduino IDE, but I can't find the hardware documentation
of the arduino mega, I've been looking in arduino.cc and can't found it.
I would like to know the number of timers, interrupts, io,configs,
Hello, we want to put a FPV+Digital Camera system on our quad. We are searching for an optimum TX/RX system since some time but it seems like it will be risky to buy it without taking some advices again.
Our expectations are as below:
