Case description for a drone :
My project seeks the creation of a lightweight, mobile app-controlled drone using the ESP32-S2
microcontroller. The drone will be designed to be used indoors or in areas with low wind. The
overall system will consist of a single PCB with all circuitry needed to control the motors, Wi-Fi
communications, and basic flight stabilization devices.
The drone will use a battery that is connected to a power switch, which connected to the PCB.
which will give the ability to manually power on or off the drone by toggling the power switch.
Flight operations will be controlled through a mobile app that connects to the ESP32-S2 module
via Wi-Fi.
The application will give control of the drone’s movement, elevation, and other functions.
The PCB will have LED indicators to show power status and connectivity and the additional
structure will be with the lowest possible weight.
