    I would not argue that it is difficult. Certainly well past my grade level so how can I judge? That said, motor speed is handled by a servo pulse and I think tilt sensors are manageable - certainly there are many "balancing" robots based on PICs. As Jerson says, it may be impossible, but how impossible? Cars that drive themselves impossible or warp engine impossible? That, my friend, is left as an exercise for the bold of heart.

    Cool Re: QuadCopter

    I going to use external ESC manager with pulseout this way the board is small and easy.

    I like to test the Power of PicBasic Pro with this projects is going to be open source for the pic users.

    I have done a Micro Turbine ECU in the past it was hard but now is working perfect any people set this can not be done by PicBasic Pro and is Done and Working.

    Then you will not be using PicBasicPro.

    The Parrot AR Drone uses a pic for each motor.
    Each motor has it's own chip with identical firmware to the others,
    and some communication protocol.
    I don't know what's running the show talking to the motor controllers,
    wifi, and cameras, but I think it is running Linux.
