This rep is my first Arduino QuadX Using Mosfet IRL520n As Speed Controller (ESC) for Brushed 820 DC Motor Discussion: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/682177/is-it-okay-using-irl520n-without-resistor-and-diode-for-diy-brushed-esc-dc-motor (by ArduJimmy)
I will explains all in my Youtube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@ArduJimmy, including:
- Components and part list
- Multiwii Firmware version (config.h setup)
- Wiring and Schematic Diagram
- Brushed ESC Calibration
- Do and Don'ts
In this case, we use Multiwii 2.4 version firmware to connect our diy arduino quadcopter to smartphone. You can use HC-05 or HC-06 module.
To connect bluetooth HC-05/HC-06 with your smartphone, firstly, you must instal and use this android app: DRMS(fly)
- Pin TX arduino board to RX module HC-5/06
- Pin RX arduino board to TX module HC-5/06
- Pin GND arduino board to GND module HC-5/06
- Pin VCC 5v arduino board (or VCC 5v of Step-up Converter Output PIN) to VCC module HC-5/06
How To Do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=862kxcojHQ8 (Bluetooth Quadcopter)
Dont forget to setup your HC module to 115200 baudrate
Here's the 4 channel wiring for flysky receiver. In this case, I use Fs2a 4Ch AFHDS 2a Pwm Mini Receiver:
- Channel 1 flysky module to pin D4 of Arduino Pro mini 328p 5v
- Channel 2 flysky module to pin D5 of Arduino Pro mini 328p 5v
- Channel 3 flysky module to pin D2 of Arduino Pro mini 328p 5v
- Channel 4 flysky module to pin D6 of Arduino Pro mini 328p 5v
- LiPO Battery 1s 40C 3.7v, weight:6 grams
- IRLZ44N, Si2302 or IRL520n (Logical Level Mosfet) / N-Fet (recommend: si2302)
- Capacitor: 100uf 16v/25v/50v
- 4Ch FS2A Flysky Receiver
- Flysky FS-i6 TX or Blutooth Module HC-05 / HC-06 (baudrate:115200)
- Gyro Module: MPU6050 / GY-521
- 720, 820 or 8520 Coreless DC Motors
- AMS1117 3.3v
- Step-up Converter, DC to DC 3.7v to 5v
- Mini QuadX Frame (Ice cream stick or using 3d printing (ABS material). See on: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6695655 (FREE)
