Hi, and thanks for your code. I used your code in arduino Mega2560 board with the proper modifications. I got an UDIRC drone (like this: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/14201025/Udir-c-U818A.html) but I don't have the transmitter. I desoldered the 2.4GCOB-1A module from another transmitter and attached it to arduino Mega2560 board. The problem is that I cannot bind to the drone. I think the problem is the wrong ID or the wrong protocol (sequence of data transmitted). As I don't have the transmitter I cannot check what data is sent to the module in the transmitter side.
So my questions are the following:

1. In your binding example you say "//Drone ID's (pick 4 random numbers)". Why should they get picked randomly, shouldn't it be the id the drone is expecting to see?
2. Is there a way to guess this ID somehow? Can I write a code to try all the possible combinations of ID? If yes which bytes do you suggest to change?
3. Is there from the arduino side a way to know when a bind attempt was successful? So if I make a loop to try all possible addresses to know when a bind attempt was successful and stop?
4. In the drone side, is the address also sent localy to the module from drone's microcontroller? Can I eyesdrop there to read the receiver address?

I imported HCDlib into my Arduino IDE and tried to compile the binding example sketch. I got the error:

In file included from [arduino_dir]/libraries/HCDlib/HCD.h:9:0,
                 from binding.ino:1:
[arduino_dir]/libraries/HCDlib/bk2421.h:21:21: fatal error: arduino.h: No such file or directory
 #include <arduino.h>

This is on Gentoo Linux running Arduino IDE 1.0.5.

Searching through the Arduino installation, it seems that arduino.h is only a part of the wifishield firmwares. I tried copying a version from firmwares/wifishield/wifiHD/src/SOFTWARE_FRAMEWORK/BOARDS/ARDUINO/ into the HCDlib dir along with the other headers it depends on. This ended up with the error:

And a bunch of others.
