Flight Controller – PiCopter

Preamble

Instead of using a microcontroller based board, such as an Arduino, etc., for a flight controller, how about using a Pi based solution?

Preamble

This question on SE Raspberry Pi, Drivers for TP-LINK TL-WN723N v3, piqued my interest, as I have a TL-WN722N.

Raspberry Pi, Motorola Atrix Lapdock and Arduino Hoody

Preamble

I bought a Raspberry Pi in Thailand at the start of the year. I got it working with a Motorola Atrix Lapdock (Lapdock for Motorola ATRIX 4G 11.6″ Motorola AT&T) that I purchased new on eBay for about £70, from Israel.

Motorola Atrix Lapdock

It has a Hebrew keyboard and the brackets glyphs are on the incorrect keys, but apart from that it is fine.

I then built an Arduino Hoody (which is equivalent to an Arduino shield), as described in the Instructables guide: The Raspberry Pi – Arduino Connection by thegrendel, which uses an Arduino Mini Pro 3.3V.
