hello!!!i have decided to make a quadcopter using arduino as flight controller...i would like some advise regarding my project so that i don't do something wrong...first the materials i have bought now
1. arduino UNO r3
2. dys 1400kv Brushless Motor
3. dys 30amp ESC
i am unable to find a good lipo with a decent price if you have any details pls reply...
i will buy a flysky ct6b 6ch tx-rx
i am new to arduino and dont actually know how to program it i have found 2 code for quadcopter online but dont know if it will work or not so if you have done a similar product or know any info. pls feel free to advise...and people suggested me to buy flight controllers like kk2 or ardupilot but i wish not to use any flight controller and pls tell me how much flight time will a 2200mah lipo give with these motors and esc and i will also post images of the products with details...lastly can you tell me what are the precautions while making this project bcoz i shorted the ic of my first arduino...pls reply Help Me Help Me Help Me Help Me

Rohan, that's an ambitious project. Other people have done it and succeeded.
You might want to start with learning how to blink a LED on the arduino and move on from there... You will need to spend some time on the Arduino playground to get upto speed with it.

Re:

I have done a quad copter fc using arduino mega and aerquad. I say you that, if you don't know arduino programming, don't ever go near it. Its way more complicated than Kk. You will have very tuff time calibrating pid in the field.

Its only advantageous if you will mod the fc to add your own codes etc...

@vijai can you mail me the code you used i have done several programs on arduino and need the code so 
That i can test the quad but also so that i can observe it and learn from it as i have the knowledge of c++
It wont be that hard to understand the code plus can you tell me any precautions while making the project...

Re:

You can find the code at www.aeroquad.com . You need to also build a arduino shield for the the arduino you are using to interface with the sensors.

bro using ardiuno is not so easy.. basically u should ve hardware knowledge, then u must know the ardiuno architecture about the ports n sensors, alone code is not going to help u out. this is not C its Embedded C.

My friend i believe that you can learn better by seeing someone's code and im in a learning process i am just 15 and dont know what embedded c is but im trying...i dont wish to buy kk2 board or any other board coz i wont learn anything from it so it will be nice of u to help me rather than scate me...

am not trying to scare u. I am only telling u the truth. ardiuno n multi rotors are two different skills. rotors is a hobby where as microcontroller is a domain. ardiuno is not a computer where u can type a code n execute it. it is a hardware part. so first understand the architecture of ardiuno then learn to program it. also understand the working principle of multi rotors along with its electronics, then it ll be much easier for u.

well there are a lot of microcontrollers but ardiuno is the easiest. u can go with ardiuno but prior to tat learn the architecture. probably u should start from how to light an led using ardiuno n more on. but if u want to jump into rc hobby then   , for time being put the task of building ur own fcb into pending list. programming microcontrollers is generally done by Embedded Engineers, who ve appropriate knowledge of Electronics Circuits n , Software as well. u can choose this as ur career n can be a professional work hard concentrate on ur studies as well.
