hello,
i am from bangalore. i designed a multiwii board after reading and getting all info from this group about a year back. It was promini based atmel 328. I made 15 boards and sold all ofthem at cost price to fellow modellers.
Now i want to revice this board with a new atmel processor. I request this forum to suggest me the Atmel processor that i should use in the revised design.
attached pl find the Picture of the board
Revised multiwii board
Re: Revised multiwii board
Atmega 2560?
There are quite a few all-in-one boards already though.

Re: Revised multiwii board
Thanks Pyrofer. Are there all in one boards with Atmel 2560?
With Atmel 2560, Hope that it can take future upgradations like GPS etc. I thoughty of putting some efforts just for knowledge and fun.

There are indeed,

If you are going to design a board, why not put a heavy current power track in for powering ESCs too, to remove the need for messy wiring or power boards?
You could have a 5V input header as well as a 12v (from the battery) header, allowing for people to put whatever Vreg they wanted between them. Or you could put a step-down reg onboard.
As long as you make sure the headers are all well organised and break out all the needed pins it should be good.

Re: Revised multiwii board
thanks Pyrofer, sorry for the late reply
Its a good idea to accomadate a power distribution, but then.
On the same board, then it will ghave to be 4 layers, with 35mm copper for the power lines.
Then it will be expensive.
Another possibility is to have a Power distribution board separate, with even regulators.
I am in the thinking and exploring phase now.
