The firmware leverages the dual-core architecture of the ESP32-S3 to separate real-time stabilization from command processing, ensuring smooth and responsive flight control. +Features + + Dual-Core Architecture: + + Core 0: Dedicated to high-priority, real-time sensor reading and PID-based stabilization. + + Core 1: Handles lower-priority tasks such as receiving and processing flight commands. + + Autonomous Hover: + + Maintains stable hover when no control commands are received. + + IMU Integration: + + Uses the MPU6050 for accurate attitude estimation and stabilization. + + Motor Mixing: + + Dynamically adjusts motor outputs for balanced flight. + + Command Input: + + Supports input via serial, WiFi, or Bluetooth (customizable). + +Hardware Requirements + + ESP32-S3 Super Mini + + MPU6050 IMU + + 4x ESCs and motors + + 3.7V LiPo battery (2S-4S) + + Optional: WiFi/BLE module for wireless control + +Wiring Guide + + MPU6050: + + SCL → GPIO39 + + SDA → GPIO40 + + ESCs: + + ESC1 → GPIO4 + + ESC2 → GPIO5 + + ESC3 → GPIO6 + + ESC4 → GPIO7 + +Software Requirements + + Arduino IDE (with ESP32 board support) + + Libraries: + + Adafruit_MPU6050 + + ESP32Servo + + Wire + +Getting Started + + Clone the Repository: + + bash + git clone https://github.com/yourusername/esp32s3-drone-stabilization.git + + Open the project in Arduino IDE. + + Install the required libraries. + + Connect your hardware as described above. + + Upload the firmware to your ESP32-S3. + + Calibrate the IMU and test with props removed for safety. + +Usage + + Serial Commands: + + Send flight commands via the serial monitor. + + No commands = autonomous hover. + + Customization: + + Adjust PID constants in the code for optimal flight performance. + + Integrate WiFi or Bluetooth for wireless control. + +Safety Warning + +Always test with props removed and use a safety switch! +PID tuning and calibration are essential for stable flight. +Contributing + +Pull requests and feedback are welcome!
