Summary


It can be seen from the preceding analysis that there are numerous applications for a quadcopter. In the upcoming chapters, we will build a quadcopter with four motors mounted on an X-shape frame. Even if almost all the references will be to specific parts, as shown in every figure, any other component with similar characteristics should be fine. In the next chapter, we will go through all the crucial parts of the quadcopter and describe each one's usage in the overall build. By the end of the chapter, it should be clear how the quadcopter works as far as the electronic parts are concerned.
