Building Smart Drones with ESP8266 and Arduino

By: Syed Omar Faruk Towaha

Overview of this book

With the use of drones, DIY projects have taken off. Programmers are rapidly moving from traditional application programming to developing exciting multi-utility projects. This book will teach you to build industry-level drones with Arduino and ESP8266 and their modified versions of hardware. With this book, you will explore techniques for leveraging the tiny WiFi chip to enhance your drone and control it over a mobile phone. This book will start with teaching you how to solve problems while building your own WiFi controlled Arduino based drone. You will also learn how to build a Quadcopter and a mission critical drone. Moving on you will learn how to build a prototype drone that will be given a mission to complete which it will do it itself. You will also learn to build various exciting projects such as gliding and racing drones. By the end of this book you will learn how to maintain and troubleshoot your drone. By the end of this book, you will have learned to build drones using ESP8266 and Arduino and leverage their functionalities to the fullest.

Summary

This was the last chapter of our book. I hope you have learned something about making a drone using Arduino, ESP8266, and other modules. The thing is, you can build drones by yourself if you just keep practicing. This book will not only inspire you to build something awesome, but all you need to make something that was never produced before. Just think of a kind of drone that has not been invented yet. Gather your idea and start building it. I hope you will be amused if you can do that. In this book, we have learned to build a number of drones. You can build them at home without any problems. This book is just a start to the journey of making basic drones and having ideas of the sensors that can be used in a drone. My suggestion is to play with sensors and IoTs so that you can later integrate them into your drone and, who knows, your drone might be a revolution. In this...
