I build my first quadcopter using an Arduino nano and the GY-87 (10DOF MPU6050 HMC5883L BMP180) Sensor Module. I've uploaded Multiwii 2.4 onto it, but now I'm having a problem I can't seem to resolve.
When the Arduino is connected through USB to the computer (and the other components are connected to the 3s Lipo) all is working fine and I can get my quadcopter to fly quite OK. But when I connect the Arduino to the Lipo, the values of ACC, GYRO and MAG go crazy! They just go up and down and turning around all over the place and so the quadcopter does the same Anyone an idea of what could cause this to happen?
To be clear, I tried feeding the Arduino through the 5V-pin with an external BEC which turns the voltage of the Lipo to 5,29V AND I also tried feeding the Arduino directly from the Lipo through the Vin-pin. Both give the same crazy result

Re: ACC, GYRO and MAG go crazy when Arduino is connected to
Try to use a better bec that will give you stables 5v, no too less not too much
I m surprised that you didn t kill your arduino since the ams1117 support a maximum of 12v and your battery is 12.6v.
Edit: consider to use an external small battery for the fc
