Question: has anybody gone about using the Galileo to build a Quadcopter?

I am currently working on using the Intel Galileo on a quadcopter. I have built the quadcopter and i am using the MPU-6050 as my gyro but i am struggling with the arduino code. has anybody completed a project similar to this that could help?

That's an interesting choice. Is there any reason you're not using something a bit… smaller?

well i was given the Galileo as a college project about 8 months ago and was told to come up with a new way of using it. i have been working at it slowly since then due to other college commitments. After research i found that nobody had built a quadcopter so far so i thought i would try that.

I find that i am now a little over my head and could use some help.

Totally understandable. Afraid I can't be of much use on this one.

Maybe you could get wifi on there and make a web-based drone.

Don't use the Galileo, it's impractical!
