Low Level Firmware Programming with Drones Curriculum
These tutorials cover all the building blocks of embedded systems design, including how to generate a PWM signal, UART communication, power supply, sensing, control and connectivity. By the end of the program, you will have acquired all the skills necessary to fly a drone.
What is the STEVAL-DRONE01?
The STEVAL-DRONE01 is a mini-drone kit featuring a high-performance flight controller unit, motors, propellers, plastic frame and battery – everything you need to assemble your own mini drone.
App for iOS and Android
The ST_BLE_DRONE app is designed to be used in conjunction with STEVAL-DRONE01 evaluation board. It acts as a drone remote controller via BLE using the BlueST protocol. ST_BLE_DRONE provides an easy-to-use interface to replicate the remote control functionality on the smartphone.
