Gathering Components for AeroQuad

in AeroQuad,Arduino

Today, I received Arduino-based microcontroller and other components from Carancho Engineering LLC. I am very excited to get started but I still need to buy more components and also some tools.

Just for a record, I bought these items from them.

Arduino MEGA w/Atmega 1280      ARDUINO-02  USD64.95
AeroQuad Shield v1.6            AQ1-006     USD24.95
IMU 5 Degrees of Freedom        SEN-09268   USD74.95
Dual Axis Gyro Breakout IXZ500  SEN-09510   USD39.95
Receiver Cables                 RCVR-001    USD 7.95
2 x Stackable Headers           CONN-001    USD 9.90

The components will be used as a flight controller for a quad-rotor helicopter. Receiver cables will link the flight controller and a receiver. I will be getting a set of transmitter and a receiver soon.

You are good at spending money.

Heh heh. This is only the flight controller. I still need to order more expensive parts. Anyway, this will take some time to build.
