Arduino + ESP8266: DIY Wi Fi Quadcopter Testing Montage
Sorry for the amateur camera quality, initially this video was never intended for public viewing. Test footage of my custom DIY 450mm Arduinobased Quadcopter. I am using ESP8266 (for serial communication over WiFi) and the Blynk platform to control it wirelessly via smartphone. The quadcopter is capable of hovering and selflevel stabilization, powered by the Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller. It is able to maintain its orientation and level by collecting sensor data from the MPU6050 (6axis Inertial Measurement Unit sensor). In a nutshell, the stabilization algorithm uses a proportionalintegralderivative controller to modify the RPM of each BLDC motor. A user can install a mobile Android, iOS app to remote control the quadcopter using WiFi. As a proof of concept, a temperature and humidity sensor was added to the quadcopter to demonstrate 2way communication; capable of data acquisition (app displays the DHT11 s readings). Unfortunately, I cannot share the C file as it is a school
