Configure FCU: CC3D Atom
- Install OpenPilot GCS (install of openpilot fails but openpilotgcs is working) https://wiki.openpilot.org/display/WIKI/Downloading+and+Installing+the+Ground+Control+Station
- Hardware setup: https://wiki.openpilot.org/display/WIKI/CopterControl+-+CC3D+-+Atom+Hardware+Setup

Batteries
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Multicopter/wiki/power
- C rating : the higher, the higher current you can draw http://www.rcheliwiki.com/C_rating
- C*Capacity in Ah=Current
- 20*2.2=44A
- S is the number of cells, and is representing the tension (1S=3.7V, 2S=7.4, 3S=11.1V, ...)
- Balancing: Cells need to be a the same charge level so we can avoid overcharging.
- It's a good idea to always use the balance mode to charge a multiple cells battery

- Use the charger to check and rebalance cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AChoy_PsVEg
