The goal of this project is to build a flight controller with GPS navigation based on ESP32-S3. The embedded software is designed to be as portable as possible.

Project status:

• Low-level interfaces (Done)
• Devices interfaces (Done, note: Barometer interface is not implemented)
• Modules (In progress)
• Telemetry (In progress)

Technologies used:

• Arduino Framework + ESP-IDF
• PlatformIO + (Clion IDE or VS Code)
• ESP32-S3
• Arduino libraries rewritten for portability to control devices like IMUs, barometers, receivers, etc...
• Pub/Sub system for communication between task modules

Hardware:

Components:

• ESP32-S3
• IMU 6-Dof BMI088 Gyro+Accel
• Transmitter Flysky FS-I6X + Receiver Flysky FS-IA6B (Ibus mode)
• ZED-F9P RTK GNSS From ArduSimple
• BMM150 (magnetometer)
• MS5611 (barometer)
• 4 or 6 ESC 30A 3s/2s + BEC 5V
• 3.3V Regulator
• 3s 8000 mAh Lipo battery XT60
