A group to show off your micro drone and discussion for the future of the micro drone.
Perhaps the community would be interested in designing it's own micro drone?
Show us your micro drone!
The real future of the personal drone!

Airbot micro drone controller and build
I'm working on the first iteration of a micro drone using the Airbot controller and a carbon fiber frame. As soon as the parts come in. I have the controller and It works very well with the PX4 firmware.

I've been looking at tiny fiber optic cameras. A tiny fiber optic camera could be gimbal mounted on a micro drone.What are the requirements for our tiny camera? Do we want night vision with IR illumination? Is thermal imagining an option?I also think we could provide yaw axis camera control via the flight controller independent from the direction the drone is traveling in? Perhaps reduce the demand on the gimbal mechanical's?

Tiny sonar? It's possible!http://alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/just-in/2013-11-14/holy-innovation-batman-using-bat-sonar-uc-researchers-developI thought it might be an interesting addition to a micro drone? Looks like the controller is even capable of something like optical flow? Or some level of 3D scanning?Looks like the power draw is low and the range is also worthy of consideration.

I hope we can get some real interest going in a DIY Drones Micro Drone! I started this group so we can share ideas and designs for micro drones and perhaps the community is interested in designing a ground up micro drone that can run DIY Drones Copter code!
