Thank you very much guys, you've helped me a lot. Audioguru, it's my first project, and I'm not even sure if it works. Plus I'm sure I'm the only one that's gonna fly a heli in my area, so there won't be interference.... If I succeed in it, sure I might consider on a 2.4 upgrade, but for now, I think I'll be using my current one.
Jpanhalt, I appreciate your help, and I've made my decision. Micro controllers help my project to be much powerful, with much more uses, but...
I think I'll create my prototype without a Mc first. If all goes well, (that is I can actually fly it without any frying) I'll hook a mC into it.
A small confusion; in the receiver, throttle port goes to the ESC, which connects the main propeller and the power source.
1. Since I'm planning to build a quadrocopter, there will be 4 motors (propellers) . Should all 4 connect to the ESC output or should I use 4 ESC's? (I hope I could use only one)
2. On the other ports of the receiver ( eg. Aileron ), they usually connect servos. If I connect a motor to the aileron port, will the motor spin forward ( when joystick is up) and backward (when joystick is down)?
Is the power enough or extra pore is necessary? I'm planning to use a 2cell Lipo battery, 7.4v.
If i cannot make it work, I'll put in a micro controller then. Hey I'm just a junior in this stuff
, can't rush in!
