drone controlled by arduino
working on building a quadcopter using a arduino and mpu 6050 gyro/acc as the flight controller. Im currently using 433Mhz rf transmitter and recievers for communcation between the drone and controller. The controller is built using an potentiometer for power and playstation analog stick for steering
Libraries: Using Radiohead for rf transmitting and receiving. Using ServoTimer2 for controlling the power sent to the motors. Im using ServoTimer2 because radiohead and servo.h have conflicting libraries so only one can be used. wire.h for connecting to MPU6050.
