Project Details
How It Works
How It WorksThe ESP32 reads orientation and acceleration data from the MPU6050 sensor. A PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) algorithm calculates the necessary adjustments to stabilize the drone based on sensor readings. The ESP32 then sends PWM signals to the ESCs, which control the speed of the brushless motors. The combination of motor speeds creates thrust and torque to maintain balance and follow remote commands. Optional GPS adds waypoint navigation capabilities.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of electronics and programming. Familiarity with Arduino IDE and C++ programming. Understanding of basic drone mechanics and safety protocols. Experience with I2C communication and PWM signals is helpful.

Tools Required
Tools RequiredSafety Precautions
Electrical
- ⚠Handle Li-Po batteries safely - they can catch fire if damaged or improperly charged
- ⚠Ensure ESCs are powered by battery directly, not ESP32
- ⚠Use proper insulation for all electrical connections
Operating
- ⚠Fly in open areas away from people and obstacles
- ⚠Wear protective gear including eye protection
- ⚠Ensure propellers are off when testing or making adjustments
Handling
- ⚠Keep propellers sharp edges away from fingers
- ⚠Do not charge Li-Po batteries unattended
- ⚠Store batteries in fireproof container when not in use
