Note to anyone unafamiliar: There is a thriving "FPV" ecosystem of drones that can be DIYed. Example common setup, you can mix+match:
- Small square PCB with the main flight control MCU (STM32), and some sensors
- Smalls square PCB with motor drivers
- Carbon fiber frame
- Small PCB with a LoRa radio
- Camera and video transmission system. (90s-security-cam style analog, or digital.
- Brushless DC motors, props etc
Uses Betaflight, ArduPilot, iNav, or PX4 firmware. Or, you could write your own.
The PCB-frame in the article is neat and has obvious convenience advantages, but I speculate that it would not be stiff enough for desirable controllable characteristics under high accel situations.
