AeroQuad – Frame and MCU Case Design
May 20, 2011
Now that I’ve got the shield put together, the next step is to design and build a frame and container for the MCU and other electronics.
ArduinoISP – Completed!

In my last post on the topic, I assembled the majority of the ArduinoISP shield I’d prototyped. Last night, I finished assembly, and attached an ICSP header to it for performing the last step.
AeroQuad Shield – Assembly
May 18, 2011
This post has been delayed for a few days because I was awaiting my replacement BMA180 Accelerometer breakout board. I had soldered in the gyo and other components, but held off on this final post until I’d got it all finalized. The short story? It works! Read on for a couple of pics and comments.
Parts Arrival!

Just received a set of packages for most of the remaining parts for what I’ve ordered! Busy night coming up tonight in that case 🙂

Edit: Looks like my post order got a bit scrambled from me trying to edit the tags… Doh. So I’m reposting this to get it at the top and restore a bit of timeline continuity. Sorry…
AeroQuad – Sensors (Part 1)
May 10, 2011
As discussed in my last post about the AeroQuad, I wasn’t having much luck with the Wii sensors and wound out getting a BMA180 accelerometer and ITG3200 gyroscope ordered in. Short results: Gyroscope’s fine, accelerometer’s not. But it’s being replaced by the supplier, so all’s good.
