Mastering drones in one day

I want to make a quadrotor drone myself. Although I could buy ready-made commercial autopilot and download open source flight control program at that time, in order to deeply understand the control principle of UAV, I decided to start from scratch myself. I looked for relevant information everywhere and asked other friends for advice. I bought a lot of accessories and control panels, and tried to assemble the quadrotor UAV and write the control program myself. At first, I bought a lot of bamboo sticks, drilled holes by hand, made a frame, and installed motors and propellers.

After constant revision of the program and flight test, continuous analysis and summary of problems, the plane can finally leave the ground and fly into the sky after one year.

Although my own flight control program is not comparable to other commercial drones, and there are no open source flight control programs with powerful functions and stable control, for me personally, this "wheel" is not made in vain. It makes me understand the control system and flight principle of multi-rotor UAV in essence. This is very helpful for me to learn and understand the flight control program of PX4 open source UAV. In the following months, I began to contact the open source autopilot Pixhawk and the open source flight control program PX4, which made me have a deeper understanding of multi-rotor UAV from the practice regression theory.
