droneProject | raspberry pi flight controller

droneProject is a C++ library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Raspberry Pi, Arduino applications. droneProject has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Starting in 2016, I built my own self-stabilizing quadcopter entirely from scratch. It is powered by an Arduino Uno, and communicates with a Raspberry Pi to recieve flight commands. The drone self calibrates each moter via photoelectric encoders to ensure accurate thrust responses. It also uses a kalman filter to clean the IMU data to improve sensor reliability. While this is still an ongoing project, these features create an ultra-smooth final flight. I developed a flask server to send flight commands from a ground controller to the Raspberry PI, and a UART protocol layer to enable cross chip communication between the Arduino and the PI. In addition to the RPI and main Arduino flight controller, there is a second Arduino that is responsible for calibrating and controlling motors based on those calibrations. A second UART protocol was developed for this chip to chip communication as well.
