Which microcontroller is used in DJI drones?
The microcontroller we used is an ATMEL ATmega 1284 8-bit microcontroller.
Which motors are used in drones?
Generally speaking, brushed motors are used in the smallest drones, whereas larger drones and UAVs will use brushless motors, as they can carry the extra weight of the additional electronics. Brushless drone motors also require an electronic speed controller (ESC) to operate.
Which board is best for drone?
Board | Affordability ($) | Typical Frame Size (mm) |
---|---|---|
Pixhawk Cube | 200 | 350+ |
Navio2 | 200 | 350+ |
BeagleBone Blue | 100 | 200+ |
Naza-M2 | 200 | 250+ |
What is ESC for drone?
Electronic speed controllers (ESCs) are devices that allow drone flight controllers to control and adjust the speed of the aircraft’s electric motors. A signal from the flight controller causes the ESC to raise or lower the voltage to the motor as required, thus changing the speed of the propeller.
What spare parts do I need for my DJI Phantom 4 drone?

Is the DJI Phantom 4 the easiest drone to fly?
The DJI Phantom 4 is one of the easiest drones to fly on the planet, but if you’re new to the drone space, it can still be a bit intimidating getting in the air for the first time without any guidance.
How do aerial photographers get their start with drones?
A lot of aerial photographers get their start with drones by getting ready to fly drones like the DJI Phantom, the Yuneec Typhoon, or even the 3DR Solo.
How to calibrate the compass on the Phantom 4 remote?
The Phantom 4 remote also has magnetic components inside, so you should try to keep the remote more then 2 feet away from the drone during and after calibrating the compass. To calibrate the compass, open the Aircraft Status menu located at the top of the screen in the DJI Go app. Press the calibrate button, then press Ok to continue.
