Quadcopters have become fairly commonplace in recent years. On YouTube, there is a video by a German man who has designed his own Hexacopter. The Hexacopter is microprocessor controlled and with onboard GPS, gyroscopes and accelerometers is able to move accurately to and hold itself at selected co-ordinates. I decided that I would like to have a go at building one myself, so I am going to log each stage here as my hexacopter is developed. I know it’s going to take a while, but hopefully I will get it finished.
