Noob in quadcopters...

[howarto]

Hi, my name is Diego and now I'm making a new project of build my quadcopter for play and take photography...

But... I have a question...

-Multiwii or kk?

This is my "configuration" for the new quadcopter

-CRIUS SE board (http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=go ... oductname=)
-Turnigy 9x (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... ware_.html)
-Motors (http://www.goodluckbuy.com/xxd-a2212-10 ... -pack.html)
-ESC's, I need 15A ESC's for this motors, however, in the future I can change differents parts (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... oller.html)
-Propellers (http://www.gonitrohobbies.com/GAUI_330X ... 210801.htm)
-Batery and charger (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... _Pack.html http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... ancer.html)
-Frame with 3d printer

This is good for start?

Thanks.

I will chime in on a few components but not all:
the 9X is a great start, if your into modding it, its very fast to rival radio's worth 500$ or more.
I would go for the no module version and add the frsky stuff:

As far as KK vs MWC flight controlers, any MWC gives a lot more function than KK, but KK is way easyer to get done.
if you want advanced features like auto level KK is out the window.
MWC is not plug and play tho, lots of learning and tweaking.
all that said, I started HK-KK, moved to MWC HK-SE and quickly went to Crius AIO

lot of money wasted in the steps up, wish I had started AIO.

Thanks for your opinion... then I start with multiwii for my first quadcopter... Now, only missing buy all and wait

I'd certainly vote for the NanoWii board. Very cheap, very small and light, and works very well with multiwii software.
So easy to use after a bit of orientation and documentation reading.

Hi
VERY new to quads. I have the kk2.0 and understand it does have self level but only with v1.5..... I've ordered the USBasp dongle and am hoping it is reasonably straight forward to update from v1.2.
For the benefit of us noobies, why do you prefer the Crius AIO?
thanks

yes the KK2.0 does now have autolvl, but that is the only advanced flight mode. with the built in LCD screen it is now the easiest to setup autolvl FC out there IMO.
but still has no baro or mag or ability to add anything like GPS or bluetooth etc.
IMO evolveing into these functions is almost inventeble, and for the additonal 27$ (as compared to the KK 2.0@29.99)the AIO Pro is just a way better deal.
