Motorshields, and Choppers
December 28th, 2009
My Brother got me an AdaFruit MotorShield for Xmas. I’ve used it to revive an old project that I had temporarily given up on. I was trying to build my own Helicopter drone, I ended up buying most of the parts from HERE. The brains of the vehicle cost over $400.00, which I am not willing to buy, so instead I’m using the Motorshield on an Arduino to control the rotors, the input control is a pair of thumbsticks ripped out of an old Playstation game controller. So far everything seems to be working. We will see if it can fly when I put in the super battery (which freightens me)
