What parts do you recommend for building a quadcopter r/c drone?

Hi!

I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.

Description:

I want to build a UAV quadcopter able to lift a raspberry pi system and that I can control using a classical r/c transmitter

Hardware concerned:
I would like a complete system and in a second time use the raspberry to control the drone, but not at the beginning.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hi dgaultie,

Your best bet is to choose a platform and include a Navio2 inside.
It will allows you to have a fully functional flight controller based on ArduPilot (same as PixHawk etc) and be on the Raspberry Pi hardware.

@dgaultie Welcome to the RobotShop Community. To expand on the previous reply, you might take a look at the following tutorial series:

None of the current quadcopters which RobotShop carries incorporate a Raspberry Pi compatible flight controller or mounting, so a bit of customization might be needed. The Navio is indeed the best option for a custom build.

You can find a variety of quadcopter frames in the category below. Some include more parts than others (frame / motors / electronics etc.) to the tutorial above should help you ensure that you have all of the parts you need to become flight worthy.

Looks good, many thanks
