ESP-Drone

• 中文

Introduction

ESP-Drone is an open-source drone solution for Espressif SoCs. The flight hardware can be controlled by a mobile app or gamepad over Wi-Fi. ESP-Drone has simple hardware and an extensible architecture, making it suitable for STEAM education and prototyping. The flight-control core is derived from the Crazyflie open-source project and is licensed under GPL-3.0.

Supported ESP-IDF branches are release/v5.5 and release/v6.1 only. ESP32-S31 requires the 6.1 preview target. ESP32-P4 currently uses a no-radio diagnostic profile, and P4/S31 flight hardware still requires board-specific pin maps and validation.
