From the project
F\~ishPV is a open source, custom stack, 75mm tinywhoop drone design. It utilises AM32 for the ESC firmware and Betaflight for the flight controller.
F\~ishPV is a open source, custom stack, 75mm tinywhoop drone design. It utilises AM32 for the ESC firmware and Betaflight for the flight controller.
Custom components include a from-scratch frame, designed for 3d printing (in HP-12-CF filament), a fully custom 15A ESC, and a custom FC.
The ESC: - 15A Continuous - 20A Peak for 5s (unverified :O) - 2S Battery (only) - AM32 Firmware - DSHOT Communication + Voltage telemetry - Current Sense
