About the Drone-Controller PCB
Drone-Controller is an open source ESP32 PCB design by Hardy2008, published on GitHub. It is a board, with 23 components from 8 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ESP32-WROOM-32U, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the MPU-6050. By type, the board carries 8 resistors, 4 modules, 4 transistors, 4 diodes, 2 ICs and 1 battery holder.
It belongs with the robotics & motion, sensors and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
ESP32-powered Drohnen-Projekt mit Echtzeit-Sensorfusion und kabelloser Steuerung.
- [x] Gewichts-Inventur machen: Alle Komponenten einzeln auf die Küchenwaage legen (ESP32, Motoren, Akku, Kabel) = 68g ohne 3D Skelett - [x] Stromversorgung klären: - [x] Prüfen, wie der ESP32 mit 3.3V versorgt wird (LDO / Spannungsregler besorgen oder ausschlachten) = ESP32 hat bereits ein Spannungsregler verbaut - [x] 4x leichte SMD-MOSFETs (z. B. AO3400A) oder passende Transistoren für die Motoransteuerung besorgen = Logic MOSFET gekauft (eigentlich viel zu schwer, sollte aber passen) - [x] Sensoren festlegen: IMU / Gyro-Sensor (z. B. MPU6050) bereitlegen

Drone-Controller: common questions
What microcontroller does the Drone-Controller use?
The Drone-Controller is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32U, from the ESP32 family.
How many components are on the Drone-Controller?
23 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Drone-Controller design files?
From the Hardy2008/Drone-Controller repository on GitHub, which has the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Drone-Controller design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Hardy2008. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Drone-Controller without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
