    yes off course, there are a lot of video's out there like this, its the information that is missing.
    so a schematic and maybe a source code will get the ball rolling I think.

    Good job!

    Unfortunatly the documentation is quite incomplete still.

    The youtube video shows a breadboard with a bunch of cables, capacitors, ICs, crystals, resistors etc.
    I dont see how I could get there with the schematics of the aircore driver IC only.

    Regards

    yes you are write
    but i dont have the time
    i just moved to my new house

    also:

    max232 for the serial communication
    atmega328 (arduino)
    shift register
    and the L293D

    this kind of cluster has only one aircore (rpm) all the other (3) are just controlled by a simply PWM pulse

    so this topic is for the aircores and the only thing that you need is the arduino board and the L293D
