Testing arduino helicopter auto-stabilisation

[josho134]

Im rather interested in inventing with electronics, unfortunately, Im totally lost, could you point me in the right direction where I can learn more on these specialties? It would be greatly appreciated :)

@josho134 First buy an arduino board, maybe an Arduino Uno, then some basic componenets, LEDs , Resistors, Capacitors, a breadbord some jumper wires a soldering iron and start looking for tutorials :) electronik-artz.blogspot(dot)c­om/

@josho134 let me tell you that you don't really need to go to school. You just need to have imagination and pasion for your work. Do some Googs about arduino. Like @eddiea6987 said. Get an arduino, start with the simple and first, look for basic tutorials. See Ya!

You could have done it with only two servos, but still pretty cool.

Check what we're doing with Arduino & Etoys. Have fun! :) /watch?v=l_IYlDbBlEs

A terrific complete arduino project site is DIYDrones

@SgtRic58 ArduCopter ?

Love to get more details, but the link seems to be broken.

Arduino plattform is not a good choice to develop an efficient uav due to null, innefficient compiling optimizations and weak processors. yes, it's dummies-proof (easy) and fast programming but you'll never get a realtime responsive system if you plan to apply Kalman filtering, PID algorithms and multi sensors to work together. Arduino is just usefull to impress your grandma and your friends. Try assembler or low level C, that way, your system will rock.

@rodstartube or get a simpler bootloader that is faster but less fool proof.

ddue, I would have never have thought of using a gyro based steering system, or whatever you call it.

[inzepinz]

do you use gyros?

[abdulahad100]

That is very nice

[gig603]

Nice, Where did you learn how to do all of this?

[molinobeer]

@gig603

at school for sure, these things are no learned on youtube.

[Vids42]

No way, I'm self taught and starting a UAV project at my school.

(yes at school, but as I said still self-taught)

[fcsimoes]

Nice project! Good luck!
