Hi,

Norf is back!

Testing some new hardware stuff with MeaPirates NG Code.

Check out this Board!




Features:

Compatible MultiWii / MegaPirate
Atmega2560 microcontroller
IMU 10DOF - MPU6050 + MS5611 + HMC5883
USB connector (no FTDI needed)
4 serial ports (for Spektrum satellite receiver, GPS, bluetooth module...)
3.3v regulator
On board logic level converter
Alarm output / control battery voltage to drive a buzzer or LED
Possible connections: PPM serializer, I2C sensors, analogic sensors...
14 outputs for motors or servo
8 receiver inputs
Dimensions 50 mm x 50 mm
Standard MK style mounting holes 45 mm x 45 mm

Looks very nice for the small price and would work perfect with MPNG Code and a Ublox GPS!!

05.05.2011: Flightvideo added



I planned to make a Build Log about the Gaui 330X-S with step by step build pictures and after that some Video´s about setting all up and then Flightvideo´s
to show how it flies and what is possible with it.

First thank´s to Quadcopters.co.uk for the fast deliveray of the Gaui!!

The Gaui cames as a Set with Motors, ESC and FlightController.
All is packed nicely and looks like high quality.
You only need a TX/RX and a Flight Battery and your done.



Now let´s see what you will get for your money:

The Gaui came in a nice package and is packed very well.

Here it is !!! The ArduPirates Project.
Pretty stoked about it and can`t wait to get my Copters in the air!!

First there is planed a Hexa which I will use for FPV and Filming.

The second one will be a quad for testing new Functions and what is possible with the Board.

MultiWii Copters are selfmade and cheap Copters which are flying very well.

The Basic Board needs:

1 x Arduino Pro Mini 5V 16MHz
1 x Sparkfun FTDI Basic USB Programmer
1 x Wii Motion Plus ( Gyro )




" The Tower " Project

The Tower Project is a selfmade Arduino Board which was designed by a good friend of mine with the option of other Boards like Sensor Boards etc.

This is very interesting for small Copters and also a very cheap start in Copterflying
