Nice

Please do post technical details, pictures and videos of the quad itself, as the audience is mostly interested in that. Video's shot from the quad are great, but the GOOD stuff is else where

Welcome to RC India !

It would be good to know the following.

Which software did you use ?

What were the sources for 3-axis gyro, accelerometer etc ?

ADXRS620 from analog device ... they not yet released but i got the samples

What about software ?

Please do post pictures from the build, if you have them. People here enjoy that part the most !

i use embedded c , with dual layer PID

, i flew it in the beach , quite stable as a rock in the air ,
onboard GOPRO HD ,

i never had a hand on heli , how do you feel on my flying skill , because you are the master in heli , please let me know if i do it in wrong way ,

Thank you

Are you associated with this person ? Just remembered this from the "dual layer pid" bit

i know him ,

im doing Ph.D @ MIT chennai, and he is just passed out from IITM , he also did nice work on quad , but i lost his contact .

PID nothing but a closed loop system

which has inner loop and outerloop

there are two modes one is acromode and the other is hover mode

in the acromode i use gyros alone .. no need of accelerometer it just get the feedback from the rate gyro and make correction @ that instant

in hovermode i use both gyro and accelerometer to calculate the angle to which the quad is disturbed from the horizon , so in hover mode we can do hands free hover ,

In acromode we can do looping , fast yaw , spin ... but we cannot do the same on hover

acro is like flying a Flybar less T-REX 700 SE with 30% nitro ,max swash adjustment (she will be wild in the air ), hover is like BIG LAMA damn lazy in the air
