This repository contains the code for the DIY Quadcopter project by Technoworks team (2012 -- 2015)

There exist an article (in Russian) which explains the internals of this repository.

Currently the project uses Arduino Due and sensors InvenSense MPU-6050 (with DMP access) and HMC5883L.

Quadcopter is controlled via a designated RF controller.

The Desktop Qt software connects to the drone using XBee Pro for obtaining debug information.

Repository contents:

• Software for the copter — currently Arduino Due is supported, Uno compatibility is possible
• xbee — profile data for XBee modules from the X-CTU software
• pid_test — PID simulation software
• Sketch pot_controlled_engine controls ESC of the motors using a potentiometer
• bee_programmer uses UART of the Arduino to change the Bluetooth Bee mode (currently unused)
• joystick — software for Arduino DIY joystick (currently unused)

The wiki of the project contains additional information.

Essentials:

• Software for quadcopter: Arduino (beta-version for Due), i2cdevlib, pwm01.h
• The flight control software: Qt 4, qextserialport, Qwt 5
• Additionally, Wine might be required for the X-CTU program (for XBee setup).
