Back to the Origins

Has been a long time since my last robot project.

Recently everything related to FPV, Drones, and Robots in general have been occupying my mind. I wanted to create an FPV Terrestrial Drone experience to anyone without the need of having (in portugal we say “kit the unhas”, “nails kit”) skills to pilot an aerial drone.

This little project reminds me those times when I have time and patience, to build small robotic creatures just because the fun of it, I guess I’m getting very nostalgic with this one.

The Turnigy controller works just fine, and to get the sticks values I am using the very well documented code from Sparkfun Nick Poole

And this is the controller with the screen. There is still missing the video receiver and the battery.
