Now that you have chosen or designed a UAV frame, and chosen the appropriate motors, propellers, ESCs, and battery, you can start looking into choosing a flight controller.
Please keep making these tutorials. They are great, and I can’t wait till they are done!
plz keep going , we rly love it <3 thank u
Yeah I love this tutorial too! Please keep going!
From Where I can buy DIY drones parts .
Your Contents are Awesome waiting for next Lesson.
Thanks !!
@Vasanth Consider purchasing from RobotShop.com. We ship worldwide.
@Coleman Benson,
Fantastic tutorials. When do you project that they will be finished?
@Jeremy Appreciate the feedback. We are currently working on lesson 5, but have a few other more pressing priorities. We hope to release it ASAP, but apologize in advance for any delay.
Hi, I wanted to know how to select gyroscope based on the flight time requirement.
@Rutuja The choice of Gyro should not depend on the flight time, but rather the maximum rate of angular rotation. If you are building an acrobatic drone, then the rate of rotation might be quite high. If you are building a steady camera drone, then the rate of rotation would be quite low. Unless you plan to produce the flight controller yourself, or simply want to gain experience making your own flight controller, we don’t suggest choosing an individual gyro but instead selecting a complete flight controller; this will save you a lot of time in the long run.
Sir,From where i can get microprocessor,and what is the cost of microprocessor that can be operated by smart phone
@amit tripathi You can purchase a variety of microcontrollers here: www.robotshop.com It’s less about the microcontroller itself and more about having a method of communicating with the smart phone. Normally communication is done using either Bluetooth or WiFi (and a few instances a cable). We offer only a few microcontrollers with built-in WiFo or Bluetooth, though you can add these to almost any microcontroller.
Thanks for replying Coleman,really a great help. I also wanted to ask, is it really necessary to have ground control station with the mission planner installed in it or can we control drone only with RC controller?
@ Rutuja Normally you need to upload the code to the robot, but you don’t need a connection to a ground station duringthe flight. However with current regulations, you need to be able to take over control of the UAV at any time.
Thanks for the quick reply…, I want to know whether my points of understanding are correct or not…
We can take care of waypoint tracing in our firmware (software) itself and need not necessarily to have ground control station (ex. PC or laptops) with the mission planner loaded into it.
@Rutuja Not quite the firmware, but the code you upload to the board from the PC (via mission planner) will include the waypoints, and from then on you don’t need a computer.
What about the coding programme for the main processor?
@Junior Do you want to create the coding all by yourself or prefer to use something already created? We strongly suggest using existing code for the specific flight controller you choose. All of them have variable which you can customize for your specific setup.

Sir thanq for all the lessons provided…one thing I want to know that how can i made my own required to my project, being a mechanical student how can i learn the coding please give brief idea sir
