    First build, am I doing it right?

    The screws that came with my frame don't fit. I already told the shipper about this, a screw up on their end. What types of screws should I purchase, I heard 3mm screws but I am not sure. My frame is the Q450.

    Hey, thanks of that. I found out my battery will come with a XT60 like the female in the picture, and the male I will just purchase off of eBay pre-made, something like this. http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__34427__XT60_Female_w_12AWG_Silicon_Wire_10cm_5pcs_bag_UK_Warehouse_.html Could...

    Coding my flight stabilizer function

    Just curious, how much programming experience do you have really? I want an idea before I get started as to the level of difficulty involved and your experience.

    Coding my flight stabilizer function

    Hey, hope I'm not late to the party. I'm trying to do an exact similar thing to what you are doing. I have the same motors, same gyro/accel chip and probably even the same Barometer. This is my thread. http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/first-build-am-i-doing-it-right.4598/ I might not be as...

    First build, am I doing it right?

    I don't think it would damage the Arduino because I have seen people online using the Arduino PWM to control it, just requires an esc and battery. Anyways, I had another questions but this time about the XT60 connectors. Would these work for my purpose and does the male go on the board or the...

    First build, am I doing it right?

    Oo Ooo thanks. I remember using the Weller soldering iron in my class, I'm going to see if the teacher will allow me to use it tomorrow for soldering some header pins. Also, I was wondering if there was any way to test the motors to see if they functions? What I mean is, I've ordered the ESC...

    First build, am I doing it right?

    Will it still be possible to make a custom flight controller in the timespan of a month or two? I'm fairly decent at coding, so that is no issue. t

    First build, am I doing it right?

    Thanks for the reply. I was originally going to use HobbyKing but considering I wouldn't be able to buy everything at the same time and the shipping prices I decided not to (I'm from Canada) :) Anyways, I insist creating a custom flight controller and using Bluetooth. If I choose to do this, it...

    First build, am I doing it right?

    Hey, glad to join this community. I've decided to start a small project of mine. I've recently been purchasing parts after asking people online and watching tutorials. I've always wanted to build my own Quadcopter and figured why not, plus I would be able to hand it in as a school project for...
