Wonderful! Now thatz what I call scratch build.

BTW, did you write the code for the MCU? or is it just Adru pilot code?

The best part of this project is the low cost of the sensor boards.  Since the Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuck can together be had for about $15, that really reduces the cost :thumbsup:

Guessing you tried replacing that ESC and motor, and did not help ?

ESc is the suspect, but when i run directly from the receiver, it works fine for full throttle range. Also the motor dropping is at random. These ss series has limited programming.
any way let me try.

Not true. My pun on "simply" was intended. Simple, yet elegant, solutions are NOT easy to come by.

Keep us informed of your progress.

Best part of Aruino, is the open source code and the GUI.
you can on the fly change the PID and  thevarious settings. Its realy amazing.
