Yea, it's just not as easy as it sounds. The gyro inputs require mixing. I started out building a circuit which decoded rc-servo signals, added gyros, mixed it up and fed the appropriate signal to the appropriate motor. Problem was the servo update times were too slow to fly it.

So now I read the values from the joystick, do all the mixing then send the commands through radio modem. Any gyro results would need be sent back to the computer to get processed. I could actually do that but the radio modem either transmits or receives. It means it could not accept commands while sending which would cut my response time in half.


So I think the solution would be go back and look at other microprocessors which would updated the craft in a timely fashion.
