This document provides an overview of flight controllers, including what they are, how to choose one, types of flight controllers, how they work, and how to program and use them. A flight controller is a circuit board that reads sensor data and user commands to control motor speed and balance multicopters. Key factors in choosing a flight controller include its functions, required features, aircraft compatibility, and ease of tuning. Common types are GPS-enabled controllers that support features like return-to-home and non-GPS controllers without those advanced functions. The document also outlines identifying component polarities, programming, arming, and safety checks for flight controllers.

- 2. • A flight controller is a circuit board that reads sensors data and user commands, and makes adjustment to the motor speed, in order to keep the Quadcopter balanced and in control • All multicopter flight controllers have Gyro (Gyroscopes) and Acc (Accelerometer) commonly What is a flight controller
- 3. Drones & UAV’s How to choose flight controller What functions does it have? What functions do I need? What types of aircraft can it be configured for? How easy is it to tune? A good pilot needs a very good flight controller
- 4. My First Flight Controller •The KK2 was my very first flight controller •I would recommend it to beginners as their first FC •The main advantage of the KK2 board is the on-board screen and menu for programing •You can setup and tune your Quadcopter right on the flight controller without the need of a computer. •This is very user friendly and useful for beginners •It is relatively cheap •The KK board was designed by Rolf R. Bakke, aka KapteinKuk.

- 34. Things to check again and again • Whether all the motors are connected as shown in the flight controller configuration or not • All the motors should rotate as per the configuration of flight controller • we should fix the propellers according to the motor direction i.e. CW motor-CW propeller and CCW motor-CCW propeller
