FPV Drone

Project Overview

This project involves the assembly and programming of a fully functional FPV drone from individual components. The build demonstrates the integration of multiple electronic systems including flight control, propulsion, and video transmission to create a complete flying drone. All components were hand-soldered and assembled, showcasing practical skills in electronics manufacturing and system integration.

The completed drone serves as a functional platform for aerial photography, FPV piloting, and further experimentation with UAVs in a rapidly growing sector.

Project Budget: €400.
