ABOUT THIS PROJECT
It's not only a quadcopter... it's an open source machine!
Many of you face a problem when it comes to Flight Controller
which is the brain of the Multirotor. There are plenty of ready-
made pre-flashed Flight controllers in the market for cheap, But
have you thought of building your own Flight controller with
your Arduino? So this is the right place to understand and build
your own Flight controller for your Quadcopter or Multirotor
with your Arduino.
Now the questions come, where and how do I get the code for
the quadcopter? So the answer is Multiwii.
MultiWii is a very popular flight controller software for DIY
multi-rotors with a large community. It has support for various
multi-copters with advanced features such as Bluetooth control
by your smartphone, OLED display, barometer, magnetometer,
GPS position hold and return to home, LED strips and many
more. So let’s build our flight controller using Arduino!
Step 1: Flight Controller Designing
Here are the Schematics for the flight controller board. you can
make one on your general purpose PCB or can Order a PCB
from manufacturer as I did.
ESC Connections
D3 << ESC 1 Signal Pin
D9 << ESC 3 Signal Pin
D10 << ESC 2 Signal Pin
D11 << ESC 4 Signal Pin
Bluetooth Module Connections
TX << RX
RX << TX
MPU-6050 Connections
A4 << SDA
A5 << SCL
LED Indiacator
D8 << Anode Leg of LED
Receiver Connections
D2 << Throttle
D4 << Elerons
D5 << Ailerons
D6 << Rudder
D7 << AUX 1
Step 2: Building a Frame
I bought a DJI 450 frame and attached my motors and
everything on it. You can
