Title: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: Ace on January 25, 2011, 05:41:27 PM Hello :) I am Santosh From Pune. I am E&Tc student at MIT, Pune.[Last Sem]
I and my friends are building a quadcopter and really amazed to see there are so few people that really have built it. By the way I will post our log in this thread and transfer of knowledge among members and visitors will be deeply appreciated. Thanks to RCindia for giving out club location[Pancard Club Field in Baner]. I will update this thread on behalf of my group. I was not able to find completed copter with source codes but still I know this forum can help us a lot. First of all I will like to ask why there is so much price difference between RCelectro (http://rcelectro.com) and IndiaATV (http://indiaatv.com/)?? Also I am going to get my parts from outside India, what should I consider when purchasing them? PS: None of shop have provided contact details. I need contacts of RCelectro. Sorry for posting it to wrong section, thanks to Anwar Sir for moving it to proper one. Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters!

Post by: allthatido on January 25, 2011, 07:45:43 PM Hello :) I am Santosh From Pune. I am E&Tc student at MIT, Pune.[Last Sem] Hi Ace Welcome to RCI. I was in MIT too.. 2008 Mechanical S/W. How are things at the campus ? Memories flashed back in my head :). There are many quadrotor threads here on RCI. Just search for them. As far as cost is concerned it depends on the resp seller. If you want to buy from outside India...Hobbyking should be good for you. Regards Ankur Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters!

Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: Ace on January 25, 2011, 08:18:03 PM Which controller you are going to use?
I am thinking of Arduino Mini OR ArduIMU + Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: uditv on January 25, 2011, 08:22:54 PM well i am planning to make the pcb from the kkmulticopter.com
i am a electronics engineering student so i think it'll be the easiest way for me.. you can try it wid the arduino too Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: Ace on January 25, 2011, 08:24:43 PM Lol, I can make one too! But that will still cost the same amount as all soldering is SMD..
Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: uditv on January 25, 2011, 08:30:48 PM yaa but there are many different versions of it ... theres a singleside,doubleside pcb design too..
Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: Ace on January 25, 2011, 08:34:20 PM Yes they do exist. Well I will see if shields are compatible with single sided or not.
Kkmulticopter looks promising. It have very simple board. I will have look at it. If it looks comfortable then we will try to implement it. BTW, you got ur components from HK, how much u paid extra for shipping, customs etc? Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: uditv on January 25, 2011, 08:38:20 PM well total payment was 10k with shipping and all. and then my parcel got detained at delhi fpo customs so gave 200 as "gift" so that they release my parcel..
Title: Re: Hello RC India- Lets build Multicopters! Post by: Ace on January 25, 2011, 08:44:43 PM Ohhh thats reasonable amount. Can we come over chat. I think we are flooding this forum from our posts.
