A lightweight ESP-32 based drone capable of autonomous pathing, built for agility. Uses the GY-87 breakout board with a three-axis gyroscope + triaxial accelerometer + three-axis magnetic field + pressure. Charges a LiPo battery with USB-C and can be flashed with firmware. Can be controlled with both pathing commands and bluetooth controls..
I made this project after getting inspiration from a different esp32 drone reel, and thought I could make that too I've additionally always wanted to get into creating a from-scratch hardware project that includes microcontrollers and pcbs, and thought this was the perfect place to startt
