Good news, we got a tiny open-source drone from M5Stack. I'm excited, and I think you have a flying dream too. Let's find out.
M5Stamp fly needs a remote control, so we test with a flight kit for you:
M5Stamp Fly
You can see that this tiny drone is very cute. Used a M5Stamp S3 be microcontroller, I loved this microcontroller very much, it have touch sensor, SD/SDIO/MMC master controller, SPI, SDIO/SPI slave controller, EMAC, motor PWM, LED PWM, UART, I2C, I2S.
Look at the back, there are four coreless motors, and an optical flow at the bottom
In the product features, we can know it has a BMP280 for barometric pressure detection, VL53L3 distance sensors for altitude hold and obstacle avoidance, 6-axis attitude sensor and 3-axis magnetometer for direction detection
In terms of power supply, this drone uses a 300mAh LiHV 3.8V 75C high efficiency battery. After our test, it can fly continuously for about 10 minutes.
M5Atom Joystick
M5Atom Joystick is born for M5Stamp Fly, it can charger two batteries both for contor and fly.
Use ESP-NOW, we can quickly pair M5Atom Joystick and M5Stamp Fly.
Point
After we receive the drone, it is recommended to glue the optical flow module with hot glue to prevent the optical flow module from moving due to collision during flight. If the optical flow module is shifted, the drone will go out of control in the opposite direction.
We have used many solutions, and hot melt glue is the best choice. So far, the drone has not deviated.

Since it is an open-source drone, these are essential
