Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I'm finding out as much as possible info about quadcopters, because me and a friend of mine want to go and build one. I've got minor knowledge of RC, I built a car which I can drive by my phone, so I know about programming, but not really much about flying objects.

"Hi Philip,

I searched the Internet, but they only mention that the PPM/PWM only decides how the transmitter sends the data to the receiver, but this is not what I want; I want to get PPM from my receiver to my Arduino.
I've taken a look at your…"

"Yes Philip, I indeed hadn't looked into the difference between PWM and PPM because I knew PWM from my RC car and just assumed PPM wouldn't be that different. Now I know it is, I've made a little script with the Arduino to practice with the…"

"Hi Philip,
Thanks for your reply!
As I explained to Micheal, it is indeed a good idea to buy a bit of a better battery, because my motors run at 13A full throttle, that makes I wouldn't have the 12 necessary amps to go full throttle.
Thanks for your…"

"Hi Micheal,
Thanks for your advice about the battery 
I came up with this battery : Zippy Flightmax 2800mAh 3S1P 30C. 
My motors run at full throttle 13A, so 13A * 4 = 52A.
My battery can give 2.8 * 30 = 84A and if necessary they can burst to 40C…"

Advice for my First Quadcopter?
Hello,I'm Sander and recently I came up with the idea of making a quadcopter. I was looking for a new RC project because I had as good as finished my last one: Controlling my RC car and have FPV from the car. Now I want to take FPV to the air. Well…
