Man, I like this board! I think 72MHz is fast enough for running this project.
And I don't want to make a one-man heli, is kind of danger ;) My main concern is power consumption, because batteries weigh too much. 2011/11/4 Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <[email protected]> > 2011/11/4 Willian Paixão <[email protected]>: > > Hi, > > I'm doing a little helicopter.
