Thunder Chicken - Kinda like Rygel the Sixteenth, The Dominar of the skies...

Description: An open source integrated ESP32 based flight controller with integrated 433 MHz LORA long range radio and dual band (1.3 / 3.5 GHz) video transmitter.

Additional details and progress of this project can be found at the Laup-X RC blog here: https://laup-x-rc.blogspot.com/


High Level Features:

  • RC

    • 6 x 0.1" RC I/O pins
    • Each pin supports the one of the following functions
      • (TODO) PWM
      • (TODO) PPMSum
      • (TODO) S.Bus
      • (TODO) UART (Max 2 available)
        • (TODO) Protocol support for eagletree open telemetry
        • (TODO) Protocol support for Crossfire telemetry (CRSF)
    • (TODO) Arbitrary Over the Air (OTA) PWM -> Output PWM slot mapping
      • (TODO) Support RSSI and LQI as additional data sources
  • LED

    • (TODO) WS2812 Support
      • Max String Lenght: xxx
      • (TODO) Uses the Infared Remote Controller (IRC) peripheral to drive the WS2812 protocol with low CPU utilization
    • (TODO) Single switched VBatt output for headlight/passive LED strip
      • Support for 3 pin 0.1" pololu style regulator for alternate voltage output
  • Lost Model Prevention

    • (TODO) Secondary 1S 100 mAh Backup power lipo
    • (TODO) 88 dB Buzzer
    • (TODO) LORA SF12 Position Beacon: A very robus low datarate digital becon sending the last know position
    • (TODO) FM audio beacon: Works like the openLRS multi-tone beacon
  • Video

    • (TODO) Maxim MAX7456 OSD
    • (TODO) Video input selection switch
      • (TODO) Select between 2 external sources OR
      • (TODO) 1 External source and one board mounted fatshark style VRX module
    • (TODO) Analog output for control of an analog cameras internal OSD simulating external joystick button presses
      • (TODO) Doubles as a uart output to support sending commands to a runcam split
    • (TODO) 1.3 GHz VTX
      • +30 dBm power output
      • 1.1 GHz - 1.35 GHz tune range
      • L1 GPS notch filter (1575.42 MHz)
    • (TODO) 3.5 GHz VTX
      • +16 dBm power output
      • 3.4 Ghz - 3.7 GHz tune range
