The team at Circuit Digest has designed a low-cost DIY drone controlled by an ESP32 module, based on a custom PCB and off-the-shelf parts that costs
Is PCB as the structure a new thing or has that always been a thing?
There are a few PCB drones out there.
Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It's would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.
Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).
I've seen some of his videos and thought it was a relatively new service offered by these custom pcb companies.
A PCB drone is essentially disposable =\
Ideal for purposeful rapid kinetic disassembly
ESP all the things
Seems like a fairly good option.
I was looking forward to this kickstarter, but it's been months without a launch so I'm thinking it's just vaporware at this point.
