Bitcraze Forums

I have a 2212 kv1000 brushless quadcopter and i already programmed a system to control it, but it can't hover in stable... i want change the crazyflie source code to control my quad, i know the basic ideas about this control system is get the angle first, then processed with PID system, and output the PID results to motor.

I don't know much about control theories except PID control, I wandering is this routine suitable for big quadcopter? or need some extra algorithms for stable flying?

I started an attempt a while ago but never got time to finish it. See this thread. It should definitely be possible but the firmware needs some changes.

The hardware needs some modding as well to do it and you would also need a brushless controller for each motor. Getting a E-sky transmitter might also be a good idea as that would increase the range a lot when flying outside.
