Programmable Quadcopter

[adegroat]

Hello!

I'm looking for a quadcopter that can be hooked up to an arduino. My goal is be able to program the arduino to gather longitude and latitude data using GPS, which will then be used to fly the quadcopter on a specified flight path.

Does where I could get the best quadcopter for this?

Thanks!

Hi sorry I dont know that FCB but if it can do this then may be build a small quad it may be cheaper than a RTF which may not do what you need it to do

Look into APM and MutiWii, and any other open source quadcopter flight controller. What type of experience with hardware and software do you have? The APM is Arduino based and can have flight planning.


Check out this list, set the filter to open source and you can use about anything from there.

You rang? Yes this is possible. The APM I believe has a slot to connect a GPS to. Being Arduino based, the APM can be custom programmed with whatever fun GPS flight path you like. It also comes with the hardware like a gyro/acc and pins needed to connect your ESCs and other tech. Happy coding.
