Affordable micro sub 100g coreless motor quadcopter made using Raspberry Pi pico W and controlled via an APP through WiFi.

Hi there people 👋

My name is Anish Natekar, I am a 4th year (Senior) student at IIT Goa Majoring in Computer Science Engineering. I am interested in Automating things and solving real world problems with the help of Technology and Engineering.

Currently:

• Student Representative of BTech 2020 batch of IIT Goa.

• Working with quadcopters

• Interning at Mentor Graphics (Noida, India)

• 🌱 I’m currently exploring EVERYTHING computer science has to offer e.g. Web dev, App Dev, Game Dev, Block chaim, ML&DL, Simulations, Robotics (Arduino & ROS), Cybersecurity & Cryptography

• 💬 Ask me about Python + libraries, OpenCV, Discord bots, Game dev, Cryptography, Arduino, Frontend, Flutter, ROS(RobotOperatingSystem).

• 📫 How to reach me: email me on [email protected]

• ⚡ Fun fact: ANIME is OP!!!

picow_copter's Issues

Update PCB to support XS connector for AIO FPV camera.

The PCB for the quadcopter was not designed to support a FPV camera but the Lipo battery can potentially have enough current to power a small 25mW FPV camera. The type of connector on the FPV camera is a female XS JST connector.
The PCB should have through holes for male XS JST connector to power the camera via the Lipo battery.

Code compiled but no ap hotspot created

I successfully compiled the code on a pico w . I wired only the accelerometer . I do not get any error on the serial but no hotspot is created . Do i need to wire everything to be able get the hotspot ?

Question : is there acro mode or only angle mode .

Is there acro mode or only angle mode ? Is there plan fo develop acro mode

flyback diode

In your present circuit design, what function does zener diode serve when attached to gate of mosfet? When mosfet is turned off where does back emf from motor go? I think back emf would fry mosfet in long run. A flyback 5819 schottky diode at drain of mosfet blocking from vcc seems fine for the purpose.
