Not sure if you have seen this : http://www.rcindia.org/self-designed-diy-and-college-projects/quadrotor-build-thread/msg25381/#msg25381

I will start working on it again after I get back from my travels.

Nice idea. Any reinforcements for the pipes (or are they thick enough) ?

How was the motor mount built ?  Any close of pics of that ?

the pipe and the connector i used make really tight and strong connection but after connecting arm to junction i fixed it by feviquick so it makes permanant connection.for mounting motors i have used metal clips at the end of the pipes fixed it with hot glue and then placed a square piece of pvc foam maintaining the horizontal level with the help of spirit level and then mounted motor on this surface

Anwar's concern is the 'flex' in the boom/pipe. Usually these pipes would flex under its weight, introducing the bend. This situation could get worse under the motor thrust.

This would be important as any such bend would change the thrust angle of the props.
How well does the Gyro mixing handle such situation.

I still feel the Aluminum U/E Channels    are much sturdier and light.

You can tap out the PPM signal from many receivers, if you are good with a soldering iron.  The PINs where PPM output is readily available is documented for many receivers, and you can find the PPM signal on the boards of others if you (or someone you know) has access to logic analyzers. 

See this for details on many receivers : http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/RC_Receivers_and_Radios

I went with the diydrones.com recommended solution, which is this :

http://store.diydrones.com/product_p/br-ppme.htm

Haven't tested it, but will solder it up and test it after I get back.

For buying Magnetometer in India I found these two sites and rates are also quite cheap.

http://www.tenettech.com/category.php?id_category=84
http://www.rhydolabz.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=90&products_id=325

And if u r interested you could invest in a COmplete 9DoF board buy Sparfun with Acc/Gyro/Magneto (all 3 Axis) on a single board
check it out
http://www.tenettech.com/product.php?id_product=259

I hope this Helps...  Smiley

I can't see how they are cheap.  The magnetometer listed is only 2 axis one.  The IMU listed will need an extra Adruino (I believe) to process the sensor information, right ?  Then its pricing also becomes less attractive.

If you have bunch of .pde files in a folder (the code seems to be shipped that way), then you just load the main .pde file, and it opens up a bunch of tabs with the various sources files (basically these are all various sub-systems).  When you compile and upload the arduino based board, it should all get compiled together and get uploaded (as there are references between them that the compiler handles behind the scenes).

What i meant was that the IMU is quite cheap when compared with Other systems with all Sensors integrated. And if one knows hoe to program on Atmega32 then they dont need another arduino instead could program there while system onboard itself, but this is not recommended for beginners so they could buy any arduino which would make their whole electronic control system within Rs. 10k


For comparisons....

are there any Indian vendors for ArduIMU.?
And is it possible for the quadrotor setup of Arduino UNO +zigBee+arduIMU.? or I can go for higher boards of Arduino other than UNO..?

Go for arduino 2560 and you can have a MegaPirates NG platform. This means you have a readymade open-source code, a cool GUI with a missionplanner. Just make sure you use MegaPirates supported sensors on your IMU.
