Drone project

This project is intended to be a rather simple core drone stabilizer application based on Teensy and the prop shield.

Intended to be expanded with an outer control loop with a non-realtime sensor, e.g. GNSS, camera or laser scanner.

Hardware

Build on a hand-wired PCB as a prototype

Drone firmware

Magnetometer calibration

Calibration is used using a calibration version of firmware and a calibration app from Prop Shield manufacturer.

Drone compass calibration

ESC calibration

The drone control uses ESC pulse width from 1 to 2 ms, and all ESCs should be calibrated to use this range.
