Flying with Arduino drone (award-winning DIY project)

Just a short video about a DIY Arduino based drone/quadcopter that I made from scratch a few years ago! It was such a challenginf project back in the days, maybe I should remake it now? :)
Here is a list of parts that I used to build this project:
Motors: bit.ly/3qbJCOo
ESC: bit.ly/33tIeNb
Propellers: bit.ly/33mHfyn
Arduino: bit.ly/39or8Ej
MPU6050: bit.ly/33tvGpb
Ludwik drone won several prizes, here in Poland but also in the international competitions (organized at Instructables.com).
Here is Instructable about this project:

Hi Nikodem! Your instructable page is really really awesome, full of details. It's not only about sharing but way more about achieving an ambitious project from scratch. Congrats for your deserved awards.

[@nikodembartnik]

I am trying to share not only instruction but also a story behind each project, I feel like that's also very important. Thank you!

[@joetke]

I've read a bunch of instructable projects but yours is like a diary. You're right. Story telling is a significant part of catching people's interest. Technical details would be pretty dry without it. Keep the quality up Nikodem. You can explode your views number I'm sure.

[@nikodembartnik]

Thank you! Hard work is the best road to success :)

[@netneedingsystems2318]

The amazing music killed by a crappy sound of his mic... This is epic. Thanks for sharing anyways :D

[@francislambert5189]

Award-winning..I had to watch and I am glad I did. Thank you. P.S. Congratulations on your winning the award.

[@EunchanPark]

I like this video! very well explained, sharing links and your projects of course! I must follow your instructables. Thank you

[@nikodembartnik]

Thank you very much! I am happy that you like it :)

[@Stephen-ku5fe]

good video man congrats on winning an award's for your own personal idea keep up the great content and brilliant idea's for machine's

[@nikodembartnik]

Always will! Thanks

[@RenatAbaidulin]

Awesome project!)))
Good luck in the continuation of the development!

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks :)

Hi Nikodem Bartnik ,
I have get the code but I am not able to get that what libraries are used in transmitter and flight controller so can you tell which libraries are used

[@artificialintelligenceaxon6787]

Just, out of curiosity how much does your quad-copter weights?

[@nikodembartnik]

Less than a kilogram

[@bringamosa8480]

Eugh self centering trottlestick is a nog go for me.... like the rest of the build and congratulations on winning contests

[@ifitaintbrokefixit3787]

Keep making cool stuff man :)

[@Richardpjohn690]

How much baudrate of flights and transmitter

[@sabdelraof2769]

Hi Nikodem Bartnik
I downloaded a program on the Ardeno Nano and all the connections but there was no takeoff

[@Perspectologist]

Interesting quadcoptor. Would a commercial drone have performed similarly under those wind conditions? If this was built with an older Arduino I wonder if using a newer microcontroller with a faster CPU might improve the balance calculations.

[@nikodembartnik]

Commercial drones such as DJI use much more advanced technology, GPS, camera positioning, ultra sonic sensors and so on. There is no way to make such a drone at home. It should perform much better but I have never flown any commercial drone before. Faster CPU may improve it a little bit but the biggest limitation here is a speed of MPU6050 (gyro and accelerometer module) once you get more than 100 readings per seconds it starts to give pretty inaccurate results.

[@Perspectologist]

Nikodem Bartnik thanks for the explanation. I hadn’t considered the gyro limitations.

[@nikodembartnik]

You're welcome!

[@RacingUnderdogPH]

I tried checking, shows their that the overall cost is about $200, you can actually build a race type fpv drone with that money.. but still great project

[@honkhonk8009]

@@RacingUnderdogPH Yeah, was gonna do it but already have the flight controller myself so i might aswell just start from there.

[@edudiy9438]

Witam, czy są anteny ktore wzmocnia sygnal FPV. Chodzi mi o takie punkty ze stawiam i wzmacniaja sygnal. Np. Polece za wiadukt gdzie mi zrywa sygnal i bede mial obraz. Moze jakis link. Pozdrawiam.

[@lwo7736]

This inspired me to get into drone building

[@prajwalr4317]

hii sir please can you help me how to write program to drone at arduino.

[@prateekpanwar646]

That's heavy wind.
Whats you drone specs?
Motor kv, Battery, Weight lifting capability.

[@osamaomar9096]

i want to ask you about the black wire which connecting bettween nrf module and its antenna ...
did it come with module or you added it ??

[@mohamedelfatih2782]

How to cantact with u??

[@francoisguyot789]

Is it possible to plug sensors to Arduino and read the values on the OSD ?

[@asimmustafa9835]

Hello bro...!
your videos are nice... I appreciate you
Can you plz give the code of the transceiver and receiver of arduino?

[@rutwikshinde7479]

Very nice project..

[@nikodembartnik]

Thank you!

[@ThePurplePupUwU]

I plan on doing this project sometime soon cause I A. Like drones and B. Why not

[@corsairgaming007]

How much distance it can travel

[@therohitsinghchauhan]

That's amazing Bro👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 i want to know something about it bro

[@joetke]

The grass is quite yellow. Does POland suffer from drought too?

[@nikodembartnik]

We had few dry weeks but now it's raining every two day :)

[@lalakumar8090]

Very nice bro

[@ajaybnl]

You need to have faster gyro updates. Use Watchdog Interrupts and faster gyro library.

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks for comment, I will consider that in my Ludwik 2.0

[@corsairgaming007]

Please tell more about receiver and transmitter

[@vcuelectronik]

Studiujesz na politechnice śląskiej?

[@nikodembartnik]

Jeszcze nie :P tylko na konkursie byłem :) teraz 3 technikum

[@pronax6316]

Czemu nagrywasz po angielsku?

[@nikodembartnik]

Czemu nie :) raczej mało osób interesuje się taką tematyką a nagrywanie po polsku jeszcze bardziej zaweżyło by publikę. Zastanawiałem się nad założeniem kanału po polsku o podobnej tematyce ale zrobiony trochę inaczej. Teraz nie mam na to czasu ale w niedalekiej przyszłości chciałbym go stworzyć.

[@pronax6316]

Nikodem Bartnik Od dawna się tym interesujesz? Chciałbym zacząć przygodę z arduino i mam w planach zrobienie robota zdalnie sterowanego przy pomocy arduino UNO i Nano

[@nikodembartnik]

Od 4 lat zajmuję się samym arduino, wcześniej zajmowałem się również programowaniem i trochę elektroniką. Zobacz sobie mój poprzedni film o robocie sterowanym pilotem RC, to coś idealnie na początek. Sprawdź też arduinopolska.cba.pl - to moja strona z projektami która jest już dość stara ale znajdziesz tam kilka fajnych prostych projektów. Powodzenia.

[@pronax6316]

Nikodem Bartnik Mógłbyś mi pomóc w pewnej sprawie? Mam arduino nano i zainstalowałem wszytskie możliwe sterowniki i ani komputer ani program arduino nie wykrywa tego arduino Nano co mogę zrobić w takiej sytuacji ?

[@kadeurabdelkadeur2439]

Ilove you

[@flip66five]

No gyros huh...

[@droneeimagens]

brasil cool friend congratulations for the video I have channel in Brazil drone recording if you want to take a look this and our Brazil @

[@Kubaka2424]

Daj napisy Polskie chociaz ..

[@nikodembartnik]

Słabo z czasem na takie rzeczy, jak dam radę to dodam

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

Here's a tip: the content everyone wanted to see was >10% of the video and at the end. Don't make videos like that.

[@morpheus3474]

Not true man

[@corsairgaming007]

How much distance it can travel

[@nikodembartnik]

flight time is about 15 minutes

[@corsairgaming007]

How much range it can travel . Not flight time
