The radio is available for $59 and the upgrades are about $40 total. So for $100 you get a radio that is worth $300 - $400. Plus, I flash the new code so you can see how much better the new code is than what came on the radio. I now have much more flexibility with the switches, the interface makes sense and so much more.00:47:02RC, Radio Control, Rmote Control, Flysky, Flysky 9X, Turnigy, Turnigy 9X, FR-Sky, FR-Sky RF Module, Telemetry, Failsafe, RC Model, RC Radio http://media.tech-zen.tv/Shows/LetsMakeIt/Audio/lmi-76.mp3Wed, 28 Jan 2015 00:00:00 ESTMike Myers, The Math When Building A Multirotor (Quadcopter)This is the first week in our multi-week series on building multirotor flying things (my wife calls them toys). The math we cover in this episode is the same if you a building a quadcopter, hexacopter, octocopter and even a tricopter. We decided to tackle the math part first because before you buy any parts you need to know what parts and what values for those parts you need. So many times people skip this step and get a mashup of parts that do not work well or maybe not even work at all without smoke. We have seen so many people talking about the values without understanding what the values mean and spreading mis-information. We hope to clear all of that up in this episode.00:44:15quadcopter, hexacopter, octocopter, drone, multirotor, FPV, tricopter, Math, Motors, Motor Size, Batteries, Battery Size http://media.tech-zen.tv/Shows/LetsMakeIt/Audio/lmi-75.mp3Wed, 21 Jan 2015 00:00:00 ESTMike Myers, Old Project Review And Big AnnouncementThis week we take a look back at the doggie door button and show you the finished project working and talk about where we are going to take it.

You can put up to 8 of these chips on the i@c bus to add 112 I/O ports to your Arduino using just 2 pins on the Arduino itself. The chip we demonstrate is a Microchip MCP23017. You can get that chip from our online store at tech-zen.tv.00:44:47i2C, 23017, MCP23017, Microchip, Arduino, Raspberry Pie, PCI Chip, PCB, PC BOARD, Schematic, Circuit, Electronics, Robotics, Tech-Zen.tv, Let's Make It, PIC Microcontroller, alixa.tv http://media.tech-zen.tv/Shows/LetsMakeIt/Audio/lmi-31.mp3Thu, 8 Aug 2013 00:00:00 EDTMike Myers, Bob Powell, The Vacation EpisodeWe were not going to do a show this week because Mike is on vacation but we did one anyways.
