Takeoff tomorrow…!!!
Woot Woot…
(Now with barometric sensor)
Looks good.
Take care that no propeller blows into the pressure sensor.
Please make a video
As you requested… !!!
and the real first take-off…
It flys! That’s great!

Yes once trimmed it’s good… 
I have to add Barometric sensor stabilisation.
Here is an update on the design… still in thinking. For next cut.

What flight control are you using now?
I would think barometric pressure would only give you elevation.
Compass, Roll,Pitch and Yaw accelerometers and gyros probably give you what you need (but I’m no expert, always looking to learn more…).

I use MultiWii controller, it’s a arduino based controller. Open source.
It can use the Nintendo Wii hardware.
I have 3 sensors installed on it
1- Wii Motion Plus (3axis gyro)
2- Wii Nunshuck (accelerometer)
3- SparkFun Barometer (alltitude)
Flight PCB ordered from MyRCBuild.com
It’s only a PCB that you use to solder all componenet you want to use.
Top (as you can see, i have remove the receiver from the top and put it on botom)

Interesting boards!
Thanks for the URL. Do you have “fusion” code to combine all the data?
So far I’m just working with 2-axis accelerometer and compass.
Alan KM6VV
Sorry Alan, i don’t understand what you mean by “Fusion” code.
Sorry, I couldn’t remember Kalmen Filters at the time I wrote the post.
“Fusion” is putting different data (sensor) together to improve it.

I got this from a very good friend of mine. It’s everything you ever wanted to know about quad copters…
Please share with your quad guys. Notice that this link is page #3 (most current). You’ll want to check out the other two. I think my next posting starts page #4. Ton of neat stuff here!
@RobotDude: Tanks a lot, there is many infos there…!!!
I will have the “Light” version cut this weekend with a camera mount also.
Looks like a LOT of cutting!
These are ABS or maybe G10 parts?
I like it!
Alan KM6VV
It’s made out of G10 0.094"
Since the guy who cut it will sell it on his website, he charge me only for material…!

That’s pretty convenient!
What’s the website where these parts will be sold? Cost?
Actually, I might want to contact him. Where is he located?
Thanks!
Alan KM6VV
KM6VV
It will be at
myrcbuild.com
I don’t have a selling price yet…
It will sell it as complete kit or DIY. Just like others of his kits.
Thanks Eric!
