Here you go....

Sorry for low resolution, that's the limit of My old phone camera :giggle:

The old two rupee coin is for comparing size of board.
The free portion on the board needs to be cut off.

The total Flight controller is less than 50*50mm.

Waiting for getting an Arduino board for using as a programmer .....as my FTDI is not working.
hope it will arrive on wednesday...

Thanks for Akhil eattan (Akhilzid), For sending the arduino UNO :thanks:

Thanks you subash sir, (subhashjk0508) for giving me a LiPo charger and a LCD monitor :thanks: .
And thanks again for the inspiration ........
with out you guys I may have gone through a hardway......Thanks a lot.

Off topic, but I would like to mention a trick I learnt a while ago. While dealing with macro shots with crappy phone cameras without AF, place a concave lens in front of the camera lens. Any kind would work: Magnifying glass,reading glasses, etc. :)

Of all things physical and metaphysical,

Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

You would be better off using some other usb to serial interface. FTDI has gone nuts and they are bricking non-original chips on purpose.

Didn't knew that - But do you mean Concave lens or convex lens ?
convex lens (converging lens) is usually used as magnifying lens / reading lens not concave.

I am not using FTDI, it's PL2102 .
Seems the reset pulse from DTR is not doing the trick - always AVRdude sync errors :(

offtopic - But can't sit with out saying , EMS speedpost rockzz.......
Akhil eattan send a UNO board from Eranakulam yesterday evening (6.40PM 10/11/2014) Received it today noon in Palakkad (12.20 PM  11/11/2014)   !!!!!

That is <18Hr Delivery !!!!!!!!!! I DOn't expect any professional couriers in Kerala to make it !!

The Board is working well - as It should do :)
Now a PCB -may be......

can i get the full circuit design for the flight controller
as i am too trying to make own to reduce the cost

sooraj.palakkad

It's based on multiwii, f/w , check the multiwii wiki - I selected multwii, because it supports so many h/w.
In near future i will write my own code.
I can share the circuit I used, when i reach home.

nice thought friend i made the board with mpu6050 and hmc5883l. The gui shows well but the outputs to motors doesnt work properly in my case " " only two motors runs after throttle up.all motors only run only at tx high throttle that too only two motors at high throttle and other two at low throttle because i am facing lot of problems for stable hovering

sooraj.palakkad

did you calibrated the ESCs together ?
it seems just a esc calibration issue

look like the IMU/Compass orientation issue or motors connection/ directin inverted.

tq for early reply friends and i got the solution i just need ti tune my tx yaw stick to very fine resolution of 1494 reading then it worked fine even a slight change in reading will change the setting and then it starts to yaw. I think  i am succesful in making my very own custom design of multiwii. If any one need help for circuit can ask me
