Programming the Quadcopter

• Microduino CoreRF - the brains of the Quadcopter. A tiny CPU with RF communication capabilities.
• Microduino USBTTL - programmer which writes the program from your computer to the Microduino CoreRF module.

CoreRF

USBTTL

The Microduino CoreRF must be programmed with the "Quadcopter" code using the Microduino USBTTLC.

1. Download the code for the Quadcopter: File:MultiWii for Core.zip
2. Extract the .zip folder somewhere. Ensure, you know where the folder is as you will need to navigate to it.
3. Open the Arduino for Microduino software (follow the #Software Setup section if you have not yet).
4. In the software, go to File > Open... and navigate to the extracted folder. Select and open the MultiWii_for_CoreRF.ino file. The code should now appear in the software.
