A quadcopter powered by a Multiwii flight controller and are controlled with a Raspberry Pi 3 B. The Raspberry Pi runs a Node.js application which controls the Multiwii flight controller. It also uses socket.io to connect to the android app that functions as a remote control.
The Multiwii controller looks after the 4 motors and distributes power to supply them. The Raspberry Pi collects the information that comes from the smartphone and relay them to the Multiwii.
