devlog 6 | Today i found the parts and made a BOM for them and uplaoded it to github. I also added the schematic a the pcb preview on it as well

Devlog 4 or 5 | So i searched and find out how to order a pcb . FIrst i though of getting my pcb from pcbway but it was way to expensive like 30 $ 5 pieces cause of the fees , so i switched to jclpcb and i think it’s less expensive atleast the site shows that it only costs 4 $ but i think it’s without the delivery fees but it’s still less expensive from pcbway as in pcbway the chips costed 5$ without the fees . I also change my pcb a little so it can be done. I am also thinking of soldering manually the pcb and i would like to know what i need in order to do so . I asked claude and it said that a soldering station and hot air with solder is enough .

devlog 4 | I made the pcb , but i couldn’t connect 3 pins so i decided to connected them with wires , as this first pcb will serve as the prototype and if it works i will try making adjustements so the board doesn’t need those wires . If you have any suggestions on how to wire this pcb better please comment , here is the present look of the pcb

Devlog 3 | I searched the internet to find a diffrent way of making a drone and i found that you can make your pcb so i started building one with the help of ai . First i made a pcb but realised it wouldn’t work as it needs a esc that costs more than my budget can handle as i trying to cut cost to nearly being only 25$. Anyway i had to restart the pcb design and i stopped after making the schematic. I would really love if there was a way of making the pcb wiring proccess faster as i find it annoying. That’s all for today . See you tommorow with new updates

Devlog 2 | i made my Github repo and requested my funding . Hope it’ll get accepted

Devlog 1 | today i started with my drone project. I made the frame in Fusion 360 and found the components , that i will need . I also made my wiring diagram and the BOM.
