Skybound-Arduino Based Drone

This project is a custom drone that uses an Arduino as a cheap flight controller. It shows how to get stable flight with cheap parts and good engineering instead of using expensive commercial systems. The MPU6050 gyroscope and accelerometer work with the drone’s custom PID control system to keep track of its orientation in real time. After many test flights and careful tuning, the drone flies steadily, smoothly, and balanced. By working on this project, I learned a lot about PID tuning, sensor integration, flight dynamics, and debugging in the real world. The main point is to show that with the right logic and optimization, even a simple Arduino can work as a good flight controller.

This project is a drone designed with Arduino board that acts as the flight controller. In this project, I have been able to demonstrate that stable flight can be achieved without depending on expensive products; this is by using inexpensive materials and engineering techniques. The gyroscope and accelerometer together with the use of the MPU6050 sensor work together with the PID control algorithm that is incorporated into the drone to detect the spatial location of the drone. By making numerous flights and correct tuning, the drone is able to fly stable, smoothly and balanced. Through this project, I have been able to learn about PID tuning, sensor fusion, flight dynamics and debugging.
