Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2553

Hi There,

I am new to this group.
I have MSP430G2553 micro controller, As I would like to make quadcopter using this micro controller.

I am planning to make a frame for this. I have some doubts for making this

 • Is there any program for controlling quadcopter, if yes, is any program available online?
 • How to flash using Code composer studio.
 • How to connect 4 motors with this controller.
 • Do i require other controllers (radio receiver, transmitter)   
 • what are the parts other than brushless motor.

Could you please give me a brief note on this, if possible please share a good tutorial

Thanks,
Rasheed

    Just start up your favourite search engine, and enter "quadcopter" + "flight controller". This will answer most of your questions.

    Compare the (freely) available implementations with you choice of main MCU - a certain performance is required for this kind of application.

    And critically review if you really want to do it yourself, port an existing implementation, or purchase an available one. You can easily modify the firmware of the latter - after you studied it carefully.

    I made some research earlier with these keywords "quadcopter" + "flight controller", i didn't get any proper results with this MCU. please provide any tutorial(links) for making with this MSP430G2553.

    I made some research earlier with these keywords "quadcopter" + "flight controller", i didn't get any proper results with this MCU.

    Perhaps for a good reason ?

    Did you investigate other, successful projects ? They use MCUs with about one order of magnitude higher performance results. Do you think they had too much money ?

    Download the sources for a available project similar to yours, and look at the code. This will give you an idea what lies ahead.

    Proper preinvestigation is a crucial part of any project - commercial or hobby. A day more spend here can save you weeks or month later on.
