The Arduino library has always had an “analog Write()” function, even though the AT mega doesn’t have any way to generate a varying voltage. So why the name? Well, what most microcontrollers can do is generate a pulse-width modulated signal, also known as PWM. That’s just a fancy way of saying that the microcontroller periodically …
UPDATE: Please note that there no relation between my app and the one with the same name that popped up on Google Play July 3. As for the name ANDRUINO there’s a good chance I might change it to avoid any confusion. – July 7, 2013: I have completed a comprehensive round of testing and …

Currently revising the design to reduce weight and have bigger wing chord base on advise from DIY drones with slightly shorter wings. AUW 1521 Grams Wing loading 14.83 oz/ft² power to weight 270 Watts per Kg should perform much better than Yellow plane one. I’m changing from the D4023-850 Out Runner Motor to a higher kv TurnigyL3010C-1300kv Tests show significant improvement in static thrust …
