LiteWing - ESP32 based Programmable Drone Development Board with Battery for Makers, Developers and STEM Educators (Ready to Fly)

Drones should be straightforward and affordable. This ethos drives the creation of LiteWing — a ready-to-fly, open-source drone designed for everyone, from inquisitive novices to experienced engineers.

Fully assembled and equipped with a battery, this drone is ready for immediate flight upon unboxing. Control it through a mobile application or delve deeper by developing your own Python scripts, as it is compatible with Crazyflie firmware and cflib. The powerful ESP32-S3 allows you to construct your own flight controller using either Arduino or ESP-IDF.

Why Opt for LiteWing?

Simplistic Design: LiteWing features a PCB frame, resulting in a lightweight, clean, and easily comprehensible structure — making it perfect for both educational purposes and tinkering. No cumbersome components. No unnecessary complexities.

Cost-Effective and Repairable: Had a mishap during a test flight? No problem. Each part — motors, propellers, battery — can be replaced with ease and at a low cost. LiteWing is engineered to facilitate quick repairs and get you airborne again.

Instant Flight: No soldering required. No intricate setup needed. Simply unpack, power it up, and control it via the mobile app. Ideal for beginners, enthusiasts, and educational environments alike.

Customisable and Hackable: Looking to integrate additional sensors? Adjust flight characteristics? LiteWing’s open-source hardware provides access to multiple GPIO pinouts, and the firmware can be modified to incorporate features such as height hold, position hold, and more.

Python Programming: Utilise Python and the Crazyflie Python API to craft your own flight routines. This is particularly beneficial for developers and educators involved in drone programming.

Support for Arduino & ESP-IDF: For embedded systems developers, the ESP32-S3 core enables custom firmware development using either Arduino or ESP-IDF. Comprehensive hardware documentation is available in the wiki.

Completely Open Source: LiteWing adheres to open-source principles — encompassing firmware (derived from Crazyflie), along with circuit diagrams and Gerber files. You have the freedom to study, modify, or create your own version.

Designed for Students & Workshops: LiteWing is an excellent choice for classrooms, laboratories, and workshops. It offers a practical introduction to drones, embedded systems, and control programming — utilising real hardware for authentic learning experiences.
