im building a knife with one axis stabalization that will allow the knife thrown to stick to any target it gets thrown at (or atleast land with the pointy end facing the target). this project will feature a flight controller,a xiao esp s3, a motor driver, a custom housing for the kinfe, a fly wheel, and possibly more. you'll be able to find more details in the repo once this project is finished.
the best of both worlds!
im bringing back the esp and the motor controller. i will use the already great software from beta flight to calculate orientation and the esp will turn that into motor output. the only reason i was shying away from this was because the motor didnt spin as fast as i had wanted, but now its my only option so…
ALL OF THE HARDWARE IS USELESS
i have recently realized that the motor controller ive been using is incapable of going fast, what i also realized is that i can reprogram my drones flight controller that has everything i need for this project…
i will now put all effort into programming my flight controller instead, this is huge.
so far I’ve soldered on header pins for my modules, I’ve got some basic code that just displays the measurements I get from the imu. I’ve also prototyped 3 fly wheels, all hand cut, polished, and drilled by me from a rod of plain steel. next i have to print a casing for the fly wheel to attach it to the motor, as well as getting the motor wired to the motor controller so i can start plugging in some values i get from the imu.
