What's in it
- Browser control over the drone's Wi-Fi with a captive portal: WebSocket, only the newest
command counts, late commands are dropped, staged failsafe (hold, level out, descend, off). - Battery protection: forced landing below 3.0 V, no arming below 3.4 V.
- Roll and pitch trim, stored on the drone, and one-tap levelling on the ground.
Control page in English and German. - Desktop ground station (
esp-drone-groundstation.htmlbelow, open it in Chrome or Edge):
fly with a gamepad (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch Pro and others), live plots of the flight
controller at 100 Hz, controller gains changeable in flight and stored on the drone, step test,
motor test for the bench, flight recorder with CSV export. Guide:
docs/groundstation.md. - Board support for the E1 Mini (ESP32 DevKit, MPU6500 on SPI, 8520 motors) with controller
gains from the vendor firmware. - Based on espressif/esp-drone
master@9d5a4f8, built with ESP-IDF 5.5.
