Quadcopters

ayy purdue surplus is the shit
you can get controllers at rc hobbies. the staff there is usually pretty helpful but the fat dude can be a dick sometimes
not a student and i havent been to the new location but do they still have those powermac g5s?

oh shit im retarded and didnt read the op thoroughly
if you wanted to control it from your computer then you can find a way to send inputs to a controller probably by means of arduino. i don't see the purpose of controlling it from your computer or phone if you already have a controller

I don't have the controller as some genius flew it past it's range and lost it, hence it why I found it at purdue surplus. Pretty sure they do have those G5s though, and they actually have a fuckton of servers and shit right now too.

As for using arduino etc, I do have a Teensy LC I'm just not sure how to connect it wirelessly, that would be my main issue

so what im getting is that you're trying to directly control it through your computer?
if it even has bluetooth then it would be pretty much impossible because rc controllers use 2.4ghz (generally speaking) so you should see if there is a list of compatible controllers for that quad

it does use 2.4GHz controller, but there's not a whole lot of information out there on this thing. I haven't been able to find so much as a user manual. Their download page on their site is just blank

I know the Arduino ones can be controlled from PC or through a regular 2.4GHz controller, so I wasn't sure if it'd be possible to rig something up for this guy to work
