My 1000g/.1g and 100g/.01g digital scales arrived today! WOOHOO! Now it is time to plan and build the subsystems. :cool:

I have to assume that is good. 3.6a and 76g of thrust, or less actually when you take into account the wake of each prop, or so I have read. How would one test this? I thought about equally tethering each extension to some sort of sensor that reports 'pull', with equal lengths of some sort of...

The ones mentioned but smaller. Still shows 12g versus 2.3g including mount and wire. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9666__HobbyKing_AP_02_7000kv_Brushless_Micro_Motor_2_3g_.html The power (2a) is throwing me. 4 motors plus electronics would be 8-9 amps? That's a lot. Probably too...

I have a little dilemma... I found some brushless motors on HobbyKing that are really light. Although the specs show 3.1g total weight, the weight of the item is listed at 15g. I assume that is the shipping weight (I hope!) because 3.1g makes these almost as light as the brushed motors I was...

Ok, thank you for the advice! I often dream of accessing and writing blocks of code that are floating out in the air around me. The routines often look familiar to me as objects, like an orange versus an apple for example. I stick my pointer finger in between lines of code and pull them apart...

Great information MM thank you! Yeah, it is funny that the calibration weight is almost the same price as the scale itself. There are a few options on Amazon. .01g or .1g resolution in 100g and 1000g sizes. I might get both because I would think that component selection for a board could matter...

Or these... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__42098__0716_Replacement_Brushed_Set_HobbyKing_Pocket_Quad_V1_1_Quadcopter_4pc_.html The weight might answer my question as to "why no brushless with a MWC?". 3g apiece compared to 50g+ for brushless. Here I am already looking to increase...

Yep! Thank you sir!! That is exactly what I am looking for!! I work with the 328p all the time via the Arduino Pro Mini (5v, 16MHz) so this is awesome! I was actually feeling guilty posting like I did. So many have started from scratch and after reading my post, I felt like I was trying to...

Hey Everyone! Greets!! In case I post this before I have performed my search, my apologies!! I need advice. All I need is a point in the right direction for a frame and advice on the proper motors and ESC's. I want to build a tiny quadcopter. Something in the range of 50-150 mm, or even...
