esp32-flight-controller-'s Introduction

ESP32 flight controller

I have chosen ESP32 as a flight controller mainly because of its cost, wifi & BLE capabilities, and 80MHz clock speed which is 5 times faster than Arduino.

Code files

Anglemode_flightcontroller_ver3 - This is the complete code for the ESP32 flight controller, you may have to upload additional libraries in your Arduino ide. when the code is uploaded in the ESP32, Make sure to give an initial 10s calibration time for the quadcopter to calibrate Gyro on a spirit level, now after 2 led blinks on the pin15 the quadcopter is ready for flight.
receiver_pwm_esp32 - This code is independently to test the receiver & transmitter signals on serial monitor. connect the receiver to the esp32 board as mentioned in the schematic.
measure_angles_mpu - IMU angle checker, connect the imu to the esp32 via the i2c protocal as mentioned in the schematic.
Motors calibration - The motor's ESCs have to be calibrated before flight, such that they start simultaneously, run this code first and callibrate your ESC as per the proper procedure.
Voltage measurement esp32 - this code will measure the voltage level of the Lipo 11v battery, you may have to adjust the code values of the resistors as per your -actual resistor values used in the circuit.

Safety First

The quadcopter motors & propellers have a lot of destructive energy, please test the code outdoors initially. make sure all propellers are in the correct direction as per the schematic. Recheck motor rotations before uploading the main code.
