A Flying Quadcopter
The Microduino Quadcopter is a flying four motor rotorcraft kit. The kit is designed to be fun and easy to assemble. Meanwhile, learning about the different modules and their functions to create the quadcopter.
Positioning and Orientation
The quadcopter utilizes a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope chip (MPU-6050) to determine its positioning and orientation. With this data, the quadcopter’s motors are able to compensate for orientation during operation.
Wireless Control
The CoreRF module (Core + nRF) adds wireless communication to the Microduino Quadcopter. The quadcopter can be remotely controlled by the included Microduino Joypad. Additionally, the included Microduino Joypad can be reprogrammed and used for other projects.
Microduino Series Modules
This kit incorporates various Microduino Series modules. The Microduino Series is a set of modules which are Arduino compatible, have a small form factor, stackable, modular, and re-usable. The modules were designed for hobbyists and tinkers to quickly create and prototype projects.
A Complete Kit
The kit contains everything needed to make the Microduino Quadcopter. Electronic hardware from the embedded processor (CoreRF module) to the motors and propellers are included. Also included are frame pieces for the quadcopter. A rechargeable battery is also included which can be recharged with a MicroUSB Cable plugged into the baseboard. The Open Source code is provided and can be modified for personal customization. Similarly, the Microduino Joypad contains everything needed to be assembled (except 2 AAA batteries, not included).
