Review: Cool by itself - I really like this one but I have no experience or website to use
Review: I recommend this book for intermiediate level electronic hobbyist - This is a very informative book for the aspiring drone enthusiast. I recommend this book for intermiediate level electronic hobbyist; Arduino, Particle and Adafruit platform users. You will need a good understanding of programming as well. This book goes in depth about the major considerations one needs to know to build a drone from the ground up..no gimicks. This book is heavy on the software in terms on how to program your drone. Github libraries and some personal programming section help the reader achieve a good understanding of how to go about programming a drone. Different types of drones projects are used as examples mainly pertaining to the three major classes of drones. The book includes different pcb schematics and lots of componets to tell you what your drone can carry; sensors, cameras, gps, gyroscope and more... Love the read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice book for Ardunio upgrades
*by L***E on December 15, 2016*

I have built and flown many DIY drones with various types of flight controllers including a Pixhawk F450 frame quadcopter which is based on the Arduino hardware. The "Make: Drones: Teach an Arduino to Fly" is a nicely compiled book which covers a wide variety of subjects on drone components and building with the Arduino hardware. It also comes with color photos and steps for modifying some off-the-shelve drones such as the popular Hubsan X4 and Syma X5 by using Arduino based flight controllers. We can also access details of the projects covered in this book from the author's website including the Arduino code. Although the book covers a broad variety of drones related subjects and components, they are actually very brief. As a matter of fact, the author touches very lightly on some subjects with just one or two paragraphs which are definitely not enough for an in-depth understanding of the subject matters. The coverage of the flight controllers and flight control system are also not complete (eg the popular Betaflight was not mentioned). This is understandable as the drone technology is very fast moving. The book also does not provide a lot of coverage on the radio transmitter setup and the configuration platform such as the APM and Mission Planner which are the main ones for Arduino based drones. The good news is that there are lots of reference materials on the web which we can do more in-depth research as required to complete the project listed in the book. It would be good if the author could point to some of those sites for easy reference. Another observation is that the author chose to modify some popular drones such as the Hubsan X4 and Syma X5C. This would require quite a bit of modification and including cutting out the existing plastic molds and such. However, there are also alternatives for cleaner builds such as buying off-the shelve frames or printing popular 3D drones frames from Thingiverse. Or they could also consider using the Blade Inductrix frame which made the Tiny Whoop so popular these days. Overall, I like this book as this would give the readers some ideas on building their own Arduino based drones. However, I would expect the readers to do more researches and in-depth studying from the web in order to complete these projects successfully.
