For this section, you will need the following things:
- Motors
- ESCs
- Battery
- Propellers
- Radio-controller
- Arduino Nano
- HC-05 Bluetooth module
- GPS
- MPU6050 or GY-86 gyroscope.
- Some wires
Connections are simple:
- You need to connect the motors to the ESCs, and ESCs to the battery. You can use a four-way connector (power distribution board) for this, like in the following diagram:
- Now, connect the radio to the Arduino Nano with the following pin configuration:
|
Arduino pin
|
Radio pin |
|
D3 |
CH1 |
|
D5 |
CH2 |
|
D2 |
CH3 |
|
D4 |
CH4 |
|
D12 |
CH5 |
|
D6 |
CH6 |
- Now, connect the Gyroscope to the Arduino Nano with the following configuration:
|
Arduino pin |
Gyroscope pin |
|
5V |

|
A4 |
SDA |
|
A5 |
SCL |
- You are left with the four wires of the ESC signals; let's connect them to the Arduino Nano now...
