Developing control algorithms for the quadracopter requires a predictable test environment so I built a test bed that allows me to test code changes. The test bed initially consisted of a teeter totter with a single electric motor at one…

Hardware for the Quadracopter
To get started I bought an LPCExpresso 1769 board for the core processing. It was inexpensive at $30 and the design allows the board to be cut in half so that the in circuit emulator half of the board can…
Quadracopter design philosophy
I started work on a quadracopter design a year ago but I’m not sure my motivations are the same as others who take on this challenge. My initial goal is to understand how the quadracopter works rather than flying one.…
