If you have an ESC with SiLabs MCU, like the HobbyWing XRotor 10A or T-Motor Air 10A, you can flash it with the BLHeli firmware using Arduino board. I will be using my Arduino UNO for the flashing process. If you have another Arduino board, like the Nano, check the pin outs in the 4way-interface

In this article I will show you how to flash the SimonK firmware with Arduino through the ESC´s signal wire. Important: in order to do this, the bootloader of the ESC must be enabled. This is the case if you have bought a SimonK preflashed ESC (Afro ESC, DYS SN20) or you have already flashed

In order to connect a HC-05 Bluetooth module to your flight controller, you should probably change the standard baud rate of the module. I will show you how to do this with your Arduino board. You can also change the password or name of the module. There are different HC-05 modules, but it works with

Here you will find how to flash the Cleanflight / Betaflight firmware on your CC3D board using Arduino. You need an FTDI adapter or Arduino board with FDTI chip on it, like Nano v3. Connect your Arduino to CC3D as follow: 5V – 5V, GND – GND, TX and RX to the MainPort on the

In this article I will describe, how to update the FrSky D8R-II Plus or D4R-II receiver with 27ms CPPM firmware. By using CPPM signal you only need one wire for all channels and not separate wires for every channel. You can buy the FrSky Update Cable or you can use your Arduino board. You can

Here I will show you how to use Arduino Uno as a flight controller for your quadcopter. You will also need all other parts, described in Part I of How to build a quadcopter. Essential part of every flight controller is the gyroscope/accelerometer sensor. So you need this one too for your Arduino flight controller.
