Decided to make my own electronics. A small 4 layer board for the quadcopter, with accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, GPS, pwm drivers etc. I also made a board with a small LCD touchscreen attached for use in the controller. This also has GPS, accelerometer, and compass.

The Quadcopter uses the same ARM chips I have used before,

The quadcopter has dual front cameras, I was vaugely thinking to make a program to use the oculus rift for 3D fpv, but i'm not sure I will ever get around to it :) I was also thinking I could include the head tracking feature of the rift to move the cameras :)
