A traditional radio transmitter can be used via the USB (similar to how RC Simulators use them). As for a receiver... We currently have control and video streaming over WiFi (or Bluetooth), so you'd have to implement a two radio solution. A WiFi or Bluetooth USB dongle would be included, or could be provided (would be cheaper to provide your own).
A note on pricing: the quadcopter parts kit (everything except the BeagleBoard) would be sold for around $100. This doesn't include a controller (to keep the cost down, we can't). The thought on this was that most people have access to a USB controller of some sort (Xbox, etc.). --Mike On Tuesday, May 13, 2014 1:33:38 PM UTC-4, Dave Nelson wrote: > > I like it and for $100 I would buy one immediately, $150 would make me > think twice.
