I want to share what I've been doing lately: a new firmware for the minimOSD board.
You now may ask: why bother?
1) Personally I don't like how the existing firmwares (minimosd and minimosd-extra) are written. The code is a bit messy
Hi everyone,
I and a friend are planning to build our own drone for this summer but have no experience in building one. We are looking to build a small, simple fixed-wing type drone. Any advice on which materials, motors, and other parts to use and wh

Hi there,
years ago, I had set on to create a drone from scratch - i was following a blog tutorial (https://blog.prusa3d.com/how-to-build-a-3d-printed-micro-drone_29310/)
I had soldered the motors to the main board tower (which consisted of the ESC + F

Howdy,
I'm looking for a design (parts list, assembly diagrams & instructions) for a dirt-cheap DIY quadcopter or octocopter cargo drone.
Because of the environmental conditions that it'll be facing, it's not expected to survive more than a few flight
Hello ,
I am looking for a book that helps me to understand how sensors for UAVs are designed so that I can design sensors myself .
Can anyone please provide some suggestions.
Thanks in Advance.
