Video Description

In this video, Milos builds a fully custom micro drone from scratch using the Arduino Nicla Vision board—no off-the-shelf flight controllers, just custom PCBs, hand-written flight control code, and a lot of trial and error. He walks through the full process from hardware design to PID-based stabilization and joystick-controlled flight via Python. Watch the full build and flight test to see how it all came together! https://bit.ly/45GIPMl Related Blog Content: 3D Printed Drone-It Flies! https://bit.ly/4jy12iF Spying Under the Christmas Tree with an Arduino-powered Ornament: https://bit.ly/4kKNGQW #ArduinoDrone #microdrone #diyelectronics #arduino #arduinoproject ================================================================================= Engage with the element14 presents team on the element14 Community - suggest builds, find project files and behind the scenes video: https://bit.ly/3tmdewv Visit the element14 Community for more great activities and free hardware: Tech spotlights: https://bit.ly/3qPrDhM RoadTest and Reviews: https://bit.ly/3pV5Bux Project14: https://bit.ly/31wbnJY
