Re: Arduino UNO R3 or FC

I agree that it is a lot of work to make your own FC but it is one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have in our fantastic hobby. To start with a pile of components and a PCB and end up with a working FC running MultiWii or BetaFlight is the best. I wouldn't attempt to home etch a boar...
