I been working on this quad for awhile, back before the EZ-B kits started. I only have the stabibility to work out however everything else is just about worked out program wise. I figured I'd post when I got visual studios uploaded to my labtop so you fellow members can see the application windows I have created thus far as well as the quad I built. So without farther review heres the pics:

DUDE!!! Super proud of you! That looks fantastic. Your software has everything you need - and you did it all yourself. I was wondering where you have been. You don't know how happy I am to hear you didn't give up
thanks. Nope I been around helpin the forums and talking abit I havn't been able to program since I havnt had a pc laptop so finally got one and have free access to VS2010 so got that downloaded and now I can get to work. I'll see about uploading a new video to the youtube with the current setup soon. I'm around though just havnt been able to do robotics.
that is a good looking quad rotor, can't wait to see the video!
Little test for your viewing pleasure. I only increase the motors abit as it will fly if I increase them to much, however the stabiblity is not programmed so it flys where it wants. In the video I connect to the ez-b then do a soft start then increase all motors together. I then open the Individual motor window and decrease two of the motors, when I close the window for the individual motors the program finds the middle value of all four motors speed then sets it to all four placing them at the same speed. I then increase all four together. I have it set that the user can press a single button and the motors will decrease at a set rate so later on it can land with a single button press.
That is AWESOME!
Welp I haven't been doing much progress on this thing as I've been job searching. However the other day I came across this little beauty of a sensor that should be able to due all the neccisary features to keep this thing in the air but as Master of the PID loop I think I may need your help on tuning the coefficients, DJ. Or perhaps I'll just make a nice window that I can change the coefficients of the PID loop and monitor the stability of the quad.
IMU Sensor
super cool!
ok so I got the IMU that is listed above and if you've been watching the forums you know I ran into a problem with the rerouting pcb that is located between the bluetooth device and the ez-b, it no longer worked thus putting the bluetooth out of commission even though I could remove and rerun my own lines. Instead I decided to upgrade the bluetooth to the Wifi to Uart controller that DJ recommended so last week around thursday I ordered the controller low and behold it took DHL a whopping weekend and monday to deliver the device,
to bad I wasn't home. O and it came from Hong Kong damn fast lol.
I'll have it by tomorrow though and test it out. I will post a review of the controller after I get it running.
