ESP-Drone Quadcopter 

NOTE: The package does not include battery, you need have 300MA 1S battery.

ESP-Drone is an open source drone solution based on Espressif ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi chip, which can be controlled over a Wi-Fi network using a mobile APP or gamepad. ESP-Drone supports multiple flight modes, including Stabilize mode, Height-hold mode, and Position-hold mode. With simple hardware, clear and extensible code architecture, ESP-Drone can be used in STEAM education and other fields. The main code is ported from Crazyflie open source project with GPL3.0 protocol.

We had upload the firmware for ESP32-S2-Drone V1.2, you no need to upload firmware, just install the motor and propeller correctly, then you can control the ESP32-S2-Drone with your mobile phone.

Main Features

ESP-Drone has the following features:

Hardware:ESP32-S2-Drone V1.2

• Stabilize mode: keep the drone stable to achieve smooth flight.

• Height-hold mode: control thrust output to keep the drone flying at a fixed height.

• Position-hold mode: keep the drone flying at a fixed position.

• PC debugging: use cfclient for static/dynamic debugging.

• Controlled by APP: easily controlled over Wi-Fi by your mobile APP.

• Controlled by gamepad: easily controlled via the gamepad by cfclient.

Please follow the steps below to assemble ESP32-S2-Drone V1.2.

Propeller Direction

• Install A and B propellers according to the figure below.

• During the power-on self-test, check if the propellers spin properly.

 

Flight Control

• Click “Connect” button/icon at your APP. When the connection is established successfully between your drone and APP, the LED on the drone blinks GREEN.

• Slide “Thrust” slightly to take off the drone.

• Control the flight by moving your fingers on the APP.

Preflight Check

• Place the drone with its head on the front, and its tail (i.e. the antenna part) at the back.

• Place the drone on a level surface and power it up when the drone stays still.

• Check on the cfclient if the drone is placed level.

• After the communication is established, check if the LED at the drone tail blinks GREEN fast.

• Check if the LED on the drone head blinks RED, which indicates battery LOW.

• Slide forward the Trust controller slightly at the left side of your APP (i.e. the commands controlled by your left finger), to check if the drone can respond the command quickly.

• Move your finger at the right command area of the APP (i.e. the commands controlled by your right finger), to check if the direction control works well.

• Go fly and have fun!
