Hello,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section as I am new to the forum. I just built a quadcopter based on arduino for a class project, but I'm having some problems with the take off. We are powering the arduino with a portable battery we got at frys, and the motors are powered with a lipo battery 2 200 mah 11.1v. We are also using a RC with a receiver and the receiver is connected to the arduino and the arduino send the pwn signal to the motors. Everything is working fine until we try to take off. The quadcopter flips if we put too much power on it or it barely gets off the ground and starts rotating in circles. We are not using a gyroscope and we are sure that is the problem. However, we do not have enough time to buy one as our presentation date is in a couple of days. Is there any way to "hard code" the balance or balance it at all without using a gyroscope? Thank you in advance
