- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 เม.ย. 2017
- Full Arduino based drone. The tutorial is divided in a few parts. In this video I build the flight controller using the Arduino NANO and the MPU6050 gyro//accelerometer. To program the flight controller I've used the multiwii platform. Wait for the next parts, the radio receiver/transmitter and the final drone build.

I had tried to build a Arduino controlled quad a couple years ago, and I just got a 3d printer and I found your videos on this build. This will help allot in finally finishing this project. Thanks.
This is exactly what I'm looking for... Thank you so much
Nice ! a very detailed project ! with easy to get parts and all Arduino based, Great !
What an effort, amazing, you must be crazy mad over electronics, The amount of time and energy you have dedicated for electronics is immense , keep it up :)
Thank you very much!
God bless people like you that share their knowledge to the mortals around the world ! :D
Best video tutorial ever !
thanks bro i work desprately to find this pid and now i find you i will smash the like button for you great jobs
did you get data and clock backwards on the MPU6050? you have SDA labeled "clock", SCL labeled "data" - but seems like DA would stand for "DAta" and CL stand for "CLock"
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO , T WILL BE USEFUL FOR MY DRONE PROJECT
Hola! Estoy en proceso de armar un tricoptero, usando multiwii 2.3. No encuentro la sección del código en el cual indique en qué pin de Arduino conectar el servo para la cola. Tendrás alguna idea de dónde debería ver? Gracias!
Excellent video thanks
Thanx for this video...i would like to know about the coding used in the Arduino.....how it works and more.....i have a question...i have seen other videos....in those videos they have used a barometer also and said programming a barometer is a difficult task ...what do u want to say about it..?
it's great video. who in the world give a thumbs down?
nice video ! i hope the next part will be soon uploaded ^^
comtinue like this ! :)
Thank you very much!
thank you sooooooooooo much. now i know how to make a drone
I was really curious to see the code to test the sensors and control the motors. Sort of a bit like the code to keep a humanoid robot balanced and walking in any direction I suppose. That’s some pretty advanced stuff though.
Great explains! Thanks. Like!
Hay i like your quadcopter project . It will be awesome and helpful if u add barometer and magnetometer for altitude holding and navigation . OR u can use sonar sensor for altitude holding and also obstacle avoidance . I hope to see this arduino based project to be more advanced . Thank you.
At 1:38 when you are listing the purpose of each connection you have SCL as data and SDA as clock, this is backwards AFAIK. The SDA pin is serially polled at the rate of SCL
Other than that great video!
Jake freise can these values be used for a 350 size drone with 1400kv motors?
hey man great project.
el control en arduino trabaja igual que un transmiter y receiver regular ?
nice job
holy cow this was exactly what i was looking for. thank you. cant wait till next videos. Im also building a fixed wing drone, and i dont know how to send data to the arduino. any tips?
Rodrigo D Madruga I'm using the NRF24 radio module and ppm output for the receiver. you will see in my next videos
Awesome man. Thank you for these tutorials.
Im building this drone with my kids, with home made radio control as your previous videos. Unfortunately, my ecs don’t seem to work with ppm signal. They spin fast from throttle 0.
I calibrated my radio control and work fine.
Trying to find MultiWii setup directions for pwm singnal and cant find anything.
Kids want to present this project to school..
Can you help me on this please?
great tutorial , thank you, I have a problem with two motors (front-R and rear-L),and their speed decreases automatically, although they are at maximum speed.
excellent video...would recomend to all my friends!!! Helped a lot
Hi,
The motor says 'biggest thrust (g/s) - 1265/4' does that mean if I use 4 motor the total thrust generated will be 1.2kg or the one motor will generate that much thrust
Awesome
So are the 5 volts for the flight controller supplied from the lipo battery or the esc’s?
I loved ur video...
In the material list you use 12A esc right? is it can used 30A esc? thanks
awesome video dude
can i use these values with a 350 size drone with 1400kv motors?
Awesome project. Can i use atmega8a 8kb flash memory microcontroller in this project
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
How does the flight controller work for any quadcopter design?
So you have two arduino nano for the receiver or what? I don't understand that part very well.
hi electronoobs,can i use a gps module with this via I2C bus communication and a fpv camera for make it hitech drone
It is possible to fly a drone without the speed controller.
(ie) from the receiver to the electronic speed controller.
please answer my question.
im using a win10 x64 it seems the multiwii 2.3 or 2.4 gui is not responding
any ideas?
i am using an arduino uno + MPU6050
Hey, great video. I wonder if you have a wiring diagram for a hexacopter? I would like my drone to have 6 motors.
Thanks :)
hello - any idea why the MPU6050 orientation on multiwii is continuously changing randomly. On clicking start on multiwii, the quadcopter image on the screen rotates in all direction uncontrollably. is something wrong? how do i correct it?
Hello @Electronoobs, how is the Arduino an advantage over normal flight controllers? I read people saying it is slow and have huge latency working as a FC for RC models but maybe you could connect Arduino to a conventional F4/F7 flight controller and have both? Can an Arduino run new software like Mission Planner, CleanFlight or ArduCopter? Is the Arduino compatible with conventional RC Tx and Rx systems? Would adding all the sensors mean you can program everything in a running loop i.e. something like "IF (sensor detects something 30cm away) THEN (correct_the_opposite_way)" or how does it work ? Sorry for asking so much, lol
iMeMySelf you heard right. Arduino is slower and has no advantage. The only advantage is that you could learn how to.make your own flight controllers how to program it, what components do you need etc. This video is for learning reasons. Arduino is quite good but almost any other especially designed flight controller board is better. Keep up!
Hey, my gyroscope is MU 2020, does it have to be programmed for Drone? It can be used by direct connection with Arduino!
I have an ADXL345 Accelerometer (w/o Gyro). Can I use the same code as yours to calibrate and run that?
Sir it is posibol?.... 2dc motor without esc and bldc motor and without flytcontrollar? Just use arduino?...please answer me please.
Pak ,saya mau bertanya saya menggunakan arduino uno r3 dan sensor mpu5060 apa yg harus di ubah dalam program multiwi,?
Mohon bimbingannya trimah kasih
+Electronoobs
forgive my ignorance, but please tell me if ESC is required for all the drones? what about power distributor?
watawonderfulworld yes every drone needs ESC. 1 ESC for every motor. Take ESC with 30A its safe
Why are you didn't connect BEC output from ESC to Vin pin of arduino nano?you connected BEC output from the ESC to 5v of nano .pleas reply
Hi brother. One more doubt. If I am not using BEC then I have to connect the signal only .is ground needed bcz I powered my arduino with 8 v regulator ...I am only powering reciver with bec
Is it possible to plug sensors to Arduino and read the values on the OSD ?
Excellent video! I hope you are doing great. I had two question though. I plan to build a nano drone using coreless motor and i already have a flysky ct6b rx tx set.
1. Will the Multiwii code support flysky ct6b as it does not have a ppm output?
2. For coreless motors, what kind of motor driver/esc will be good or if its possible to make one?
Thanks!
Pranav
Same here bro I bought 720 coreless motor and a 350 lipo battery after that I found that motor has low thrust to lift so I'm clueless. I have bought them. Is there any way to fly with these components
Hi !@@lukejoel6070 , My conclusion is that for DIY drones its hard to keep them light enough for coreless motors to work. Better to go with brushless motors. If you want to use coreless motors then you will have to buy a flight control board which has inbuilt drivers for these motors(those are also cheap), you can then flash and configure betaflight. You may either buy the frame or 3d print.
Is all of this applicable to fixed wings drones?
can we use 20A esc's ??
and 1000kv brushless motor?
This is so good I built mine and I want add a barometric sensor please how do I do it do I need to code 🙏🙏
hola , gracias tenias toda la razón, utilice el enlace que me dejaste para configurar las esc y ya no pitan , no me encendían los motores por que quizás el radio control tiene otra configuración y me toco invertir el pin d3 con el d6 y ya encienden lo único que me falta es que al dejarlo sin acelerar los motores siguen funcionando que podría ser?
gracias
Eso es normal. Puedes quitar esa opción pero es mejor así. Piensa, si aceleras desde cero tendrás mucho mas turbulencias hasta que todos los motores tengan la misma velocidad y en ese instante el dron podría perder el control. Para eso cuando lo enciendes es mejor dejarlo a bajas rotaciones. Saludos!
I want to use coreless brushed DC motors. Can I use this flight controller
Electronoobs.sir..i add barometer(bmp180 baro)..i2c pin...but not pogram it..1st.. open your brushed drone multiwii file...2nd.. open config.h and..do same..3rd.. open def.h...but i dont undersatand..how to pogram this baro..help me sir..
I am just making a 450 class drone and I want the flight controller to be Arduino but I have flysky transmitter, is there any ideas to link up and controller. Please help me I am new to drones
Hola , es necesario el arduino en el mando? no vale uno tipico de radio control?
Buen tutorial , enhorabuena.
No es necesario, pero este tutorial es para un dron 100% con Arduino. Un transmisor/receptor normal con PWM o PPM también sirve.
Hi their I was making the flight controller I soldered everything and connected to multi Wii I have a i2c error that increase in both postive and negative numbers pls help
Can i use brushed motor for this arduino flight controller?
Is there possibly a way I could download the multiwii on mac? I downloaded it but it wont let me open it.
Hi Sir, Can I use this flight controller directly to my FS ppm controller?
I have solder the board properly but in the java program its not simulating my gyro movement.what can be the problem?
Hey Electro i made the same connections u briefed about, the multiwii simulater is showing everything fine the gyro-accelerometer all the throttle yaw pitch etc but the output is not adequate i.e the pins to be given to ESCs, its showing values 8000(not 1000-2000)
That's strange. Go to config.h, type cntrl+F in order to open the find tab adn search for MAXTHROTTLE variable and make sure it is 2000. And MINTHROTTLE is 1000. Keep up!
Can i use this flight controller for brushed motor
Can we use market flight controller in place of arduino flight controller
How about if I only use 2 motors? How would the configuration look like?
I would like to understand the procedure to make the radio transmitter and receiver..
can i include nrf module in the flight controller pcb itself? please help
Can you fix the link for MPU6050 test , the current link is not working
I wondered can you possibly connected the 5V pin from the Arduino to Vcc pin from mpu6050 and then supply power from your computer to the boards? I thought you might risk burning the Arduino through connecting the board to your computer when you connected the 5V pin to other components.
I'm not aware of that. I use arduino for more than 4 years and I never heard that. The USB 5V could suppl,y up to 1A of current. If you dont connect too much modules that could draw more than that, everything should be ok.
Can you help me. When I try to move the MPU6050, it is not detecting on multiwii and when I try to upload the code, it is showing a lot of errors. Please answer ASAP
I'm going to have to take this slowly, but it looks good.
We are making Hex copter then what will changes in program please tell ??
Hey man , nice video tutorial ! Can i ask you to update when you can the link of the material ?
Which program do you use in computer ?
excuse me, I tried to connect nano board to the multiwii, but when I clicked Start, MultiWiiConf instantly closed and a text file name "hs_err_pid15704' appeared. So, how can I fix it? Thank you so much!
hi i cant get the multiwii software to work on mac its wont open to the screen please help thanks
Why are you didn't connect bec output pin to Vin pin of nano?
should the male pins be 5.08mm?
great video. Can you create the video drone(quadcopter) DYI, GPS using arduino step by step all connection and configuring and how to connecting each other all of things. And you created this controller and connecting that controller to drone.
Ch Sukhee i will first build this easy drone. later i will start adding stuff like GPS, barometer and so on...
thank you.
++ and Opencv bro :D
Nice ! yes, at this level it's also easy to enter for everyone, additions... well the sky is the limit i guess :)
Sir...I still have not solved the error. Do you know what it means?
in my pc working only multiwii 64 the code will work on it?
You're the BEST!
Cool
Can u make a radio transmitter and reciver with brushed or brushless esc without using arduino and with high amper rating (all homemade)
i want to make a drone myself without buying readymate circuts
may i use camera in it and connect to wifi.
Nice video, it would be even more amazing if you chose the first way (code the FC yourself xD)
Anw, have you experience noises when using MPU6050? I've heard somebody say that it's very noisy compare to other sensors such as L3G4200D.
Thank you!
Phong Phan Thanh well it's not the best IMU but works quite good.
hey friend that mpu6050 is slowly drift on z axis.
how many esc‘s / servos can i control with an arduino uno/nano
May i know the flowchart of the coding for the flight controller
Can you help me pls, how can I make this into a Bluetooth control drone, what is the codes for that to happen?
I love the Arduino Nano! I think it has gone up in price though and the STM32 bluebill is cheaper now and much more powerful, but a bit harder to setup with Arduino IDE and with less library support.
what is the problem with multiwii platform...help me plz
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
hello friend there is a problem with my multiwii . when i clike start option on multiwii it becom disapear can you help me please!
Hi
How can u determine the esc pin of the flight controller
Can I turn it to a bluetooth controlled one?
Where we buy secodhand radio control for Arduino drone???????
