Chapter 7. Adding the Raspberry Pi to a Quadcopter
If you've chosen to construct even a few of the projects in this book, you have an amazing array of projects to play with. However, there is one area that you haven't explored yet: flight. This project will help you dive into the area of flight; you'll add the Raspberry Pi to a flying machine to explore the skies.
In this chapter, you'll learn how to do the following:
- Interface the Raspberry Pi with the flight controller on a quadcopter
- Create a system that enables long-range communications
- Add GPS so that you can know where your quadcopter is in order to know your location
- Fly your quadcopter autonomously
Let's get started by adding the Raspberry Pi to a quadcopter platform.
