In my repository in GitHub, you will find code and schematic for the flight controller. There is also a bill of materials list to refer.
For indoor flight keep p gain of pitch and roll to be 0.6
And for outdoor flight keep p gain of pitch and roll to be 0.75
This is done considering the wind rush in outdoor conditions

OSM brother, really loved your piloting confidence and risking those PC. even though i am seeing this video, i was afraid 😁😁. liked your confidence even more when you takeoff again 7:30 . Nice Work

try some padding for the setup (mpu6050 ) , it will help with the pid control.

hi im trying to build quadcopter with esp32 but with coreless motor do i need to change anything to the code because im using mosfet as motor driver

Sir could you upload a video of how you are making connection of soldier pcb briefly.

@pratikphadte 4 ай бұрын

Hello, It’s a simple process, you have to just follow the schematic and place components and then solder, it’s best if you try the circuit on a breadboard and then imagine how It would look on a prototype board and then begin with soldering.

I still need to go back and watch again your PID tutorial. Does this system achieve anywhere close to flying a typical DJI?

@pratikphadte Ай бұрын

Hello sir, no this quad doesn’t have a dji level flight but it’s good enough for a student to learn about flight mechanics and diy drones. Also this quad doesn’t have an altitude hold function.

@pratikphadte 7 ай бұрын

Hello, that’s good to hear that you have built it!!. I have some questions about it , can u check these initially? 1. Are all the ESC calibrated to start at the same time? 2.Are all the motors are of the same kv rating? 3. Did you keep the quadcopter on spirit level surface till the calibration is done? 4. Did you check the IMU values on the serial monitor?

@CodeWithMe4592 6 ай бұрын

My baud rate issu is solverd but,The drone keep tilting forward the values of mpu6050 on the serial monitor 1.50 and 1.80 is it necessary for a stable flight to have both the pitch and roll values to be 0 initially please help!!

@pratikphadte 6 ай бұрын

Yes, so initially we keep the quad on a leveled surface for 10 seconds to get the gyro calibration, once that is done you are set to fly the quad, its mentioned in video, did you try the same? To be sure, try printing the values of the gyros after calibration step.

@CodeWithMe4592 6 ай бұрын

@@pratikphadte yes I tried, I'd did the same as shown in your tutorial bt still the drone is tilting One more thing I noticed that the motor 1 is fast when the throttle stick is slightly mover sometimes its just regulate its speed without any stick movement and sometimes its just stay steady bt when the throttle is increasing the result is same the drone just lift from the front side the ese are also calibrated.🥲

Hello, so I have made a easy pid tuning via WiFi of esp32 I have mentioned here in my video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odJjd8-elpeldYU.htmlsi=LJ2dC_bNEsE7YxGx Also if u have the same setup u can try the roll and pitch values as below P-0.7 I=0 D= 0.0085

@shredharpadiyachi5221 Ай бұрын

Hello , i have made a drone as you showed but i am facing a problem that it is tilting also i checked the gyro rate values they are at zero i have waited for 10 , 20 sec for gyro calibration but the result was same what are the other thing i should check to see where is the problem??

@pratikphadte Ай бұрын

Hello Shredhar, this must be the issue with MPU6050 calibration, the thing is you have to calibrate both the gyroscope and the accelerometer. just try to print accelerometer values and then remove the offset in each axis. Then print the values from gyro and just recheck if its fine. Lastly I would suggest to check the output of the transmitter, if its correct i.e range is from 1000 to 2000 and the middle value for roll pitch yaw is 1500

Currently, my team and I are developing a similar device but we are facing some issues with testing the PID. Could we ask you some questions to help us solve our problems? May I connect with you on some social networks like Facebook or Instagram? Thank you very much.

did you use "quaternions" for getting the position of the drone? then you control it back right? please answer me and thanks 🙏

@pratikphadte 3 ай бұрын

Hey, sorry for the late response, was a lil busy. No I didn’t use such method, the drone is moving solely form the inputs from the transmitter, the roll and pitch commands are converted to degrees per second and then converted to angle via a kalman filter and this angle is mapped to the motor inputs

Hey pratik .. as you are using esp- 32 (240Mhz - Clock Speed)are you see any difference in the stability compair to Arduino and STM boards during the flight ?

@pratikphadte 4 ай бұрын

I had compared with joop brookings Arduino and stm32 F1 flight controller, turns out esp32 is better than Arduino Fc and somewhat similar to stm32f1 chip, joops code is very efficient and well written it might be more stable than esp32 code, also I am using 80Mhz clock speed only. 240Mhz option is not available on the ide. I think it’s available for higher versions of esp32.

Hi Pratik, We are doing a project at school of a drone based on ESP32 (flight controller) and we take inspiration from your amazing project. We use a MC6RE receiver and a MICROZONE MC6C remote. Is it still possible to work with your flight controller code? Does it work with these components? (*The rest of the components are the same as yours).

If your receiver has pwm protocol, it can work fine. Good luck 🤞 do send me videos of your project, would like to see.
