Overview

An open-source ESP32 drone from CircuitDigest that runs Crazyflie-compatible firmware, so the same Python library and desktop client used with the Crazyflie work over Wi-Fi at a fraction of the price. CircuitDigest publishes gesture-control, voice-control and object-tracking projects for it. There is no camera and no position hold without the optional flow sensor, so it suits learning flight firmware and control rather than vision.
