LiteWing Flight Positioning Module - Joystick Control with Position Hold Drone Position Hold using Optical Flow Sensor – Joystick Control with Dead Reckoning (LiteWing Flight Positioning Module)

In this guide, we will explore how to implement a control system where you can command the drone's movement using keyboard controls (WASD keys), and when you release those controls, the drone automatically maintains its position in space. This creates an intuitive flying experience where you get the precision of manual control when you need it, combined with the…

LiteWing Flight Positioning Module - Maneuver Control Guide LiteWing Maneuver Control System – Autonomous Drone Navigation Using Optical Flow Sensor

The Maneuver Control system is the final logical extension of the LiteWing Flight Positioning Module. While the Position Hold system focuses on maintaining a fixed point in space, maneuver control enables the drone to intentionally move to new positions while remaining fully autonomous and stabilized. The key distinction is that maneuver control does not introduce…

Control LiteWing Drone using Gestures with ESP32 and Python DIY Gesture Control Drone using Python with LiteWing and ESP32

A few years ago, building a drone was expensive and out of reach for most hobbyists and students. But today, DIY drones have become more accessible and affordable. With the LiteWing Drone—a compact, open-source drone powered by the ESP32—you can build and fly your own drone for under $50. It's beginner-friendly, ready to fly out of the box, and can be controlled via…

Meta Motivo Meta Launches Motivo - Bridging Human Motions and Humanoids with FB-CPR Algorithm

Meta announced the launch of Meta Motivo on December 12, 2024. This advanced AI-powered model focuses on controlling humanoid movements and solving complex physical tasks, making progress in the field of artificial intelligence.

Meta Motivo is based on a special algorithm called Forward-Backward Representations with Conditional…

Motion Controlled Room Fan Build an Automatic Motion Controlled Smart Fan using ATmega328 and Motion Sensor

Here we are going to build a motion-controlled fan project using ATmega328 and RCWL-0516 Doppler RADAR Motion Sensor. This project will eliminate the need of manually turning on/off the room fan while entering or leaving the room as it can automatically turn on the fan upon detecting the motion. For example, once motion is detected, it will turn on the fan…
