The quadcopter drone is a very popular design for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It consists of a flight controller and four electronic speed controllers (ESCs), one for each motor. The flight controller is equipped with a radio to receive flight commands provided by the pilot and the inertial measurement unit (IMU). The IMU provides information (such as velocity and orientation) that are necessary for autonomous stabilization of the vehicle, using the internal accelerometer, gyroscope, and sometimes the magnetometer and GPS receiver.   Resources Quadcopter Drone Reference Design   Drone Examples - powered by NXP 3DR Drone Spiri Programmable Flying Robot  DJI Phantom 3 Advanced

The Attach demo consists of a 3 board stack up using the Arduino connectors on the Kinetis FRDM-KL26Z board. The demo runs from a Li Ion polymer battery and consists of 1x FRDM-KL26Z board, 1x FRDM-BATT board (including battery and loudspeaker) and 1x Arduino LCD touch screen board. The code builds using either CodeWarrior V10.6 or IAR EWARM V7.20.2. The software uses eGUI to drive the Arduino LCD and runs demos for the following Sensors - FXOS8700 (combined 3-axis Accelerometer and Magnetometer) and FXAS21000 (3-axis MEMs Gyro). The demo also includes 7-element eCompass code for which full source code is available. Finally, the board also uses the MC34673 1.2A charger for Li Ion batteries, charging is accomplished via either of the USB ports on the FRDM-KL26Z. All datasheets, schematics, source code and bill of materials are included in the zip archive.
