Drone Controller Daedalus v1

Devlog #9 Printing the prototypes and fixing the cad. Today i printed the prototypes which to very long and fixed the cad so i couldnt really do anything since the prototype before this didnt print well at all i had to wait very long so today i couldnt really do much. The prototype looks good only thing is that the pieces holding them toghether are way to weak so ill need to come up with a new idea to attach them, make the beams bigger or buy a more durable filament than pla

Devlog #8 Drone Controller Deadalus v1: Improving / Fixing my CAD Design. Today i added poles to the Bottom of the Case so you can slide the Top of the Case right on with a 0.20 mm Tolerance. Fixed the spacing everywhere and also fixed the Github ny sorting it better.

Devlog #7 Drone Controller Daedalus v1: Today i looked at the 3D Model and fixed a few things i relised it had lots of flaws and i will fix them soon. Thought of a name and fixed abit of the code.

Devlog Drone Controller Day 5: BEST DAY. Got the firmware setup done today. Set up the PlatformIO project in VS Code for the ESP32 and mapped out all the GPIO pins for the joysticks, the 5 toggle switches, and the 3 potentiometers. Got the CRSF protocol running and added the I2C setup for the OLED screen to display altitude, speed, RSSI signal, and battery level. Lastly i pushed everything to GitHub. Shoutout to AI when the code started bugging it was my last help :) Next up: Waiting for funding to get the hardware parts ordered and start assembling the physical controller!

Devlog Drone Controller Day 4: Today i made the first Design for the Model (Idk how i feel about it). I made more progress than yesterday and im getting close to making it work.

Devlog Drone Controller Day 3: Worst Day by far today i coulnt do alot. I figured out which parts i will be using PS2 as Joysticks, R-0904N-L-24KS as Pots, MTS-102 as the toggle switches. I was stuck on figuring out just use jumper female female as connectors but now im back to soldering (im not that good at it). Overall i almost did nothing and i hope tmr will be better again.

Devlog Drone Controller Day 3:Fixed my placement aswell as changed to the Radiomaster RP1 instead of the original NRF24L01 Next up: Making the 3D Model & Controller Case

Devlog Drone Controller Day 2: Full PCB Routing Complete(Maybe Change ill change it abit later)! I Forgot to list what the controller will be able to do. Motor Management: Mapped out 3 custom potentiometers for individual motor power limits (Motors 1-2, Motors 3-4, and Master control). Controls: An OLED screen displaying altitude, speed, signal, and battery, 5 toggle switches (Arming, Motor Arms, Landing Gear, Finder Buzzer, Auto-FM). Status LED: 3 status LEDs for visual feedback on landing gear state, arming status, and radio connection.

Devlog: Drone Controller Day 1 Today I finished the schematic for my drone controller. The ERC cleared with 0 errors. Im super proud of this project as its only my second custom Schematic. Next Up: Drone Controller PCB
