madflight
Open-source flight controller library for ESP32, RP2040, and STM32 microcontrollers, enabling DIY drone and aircraft builds.
What is madflight?
Madflight is an open-source flight controller library designed for building DIY drones and aircraft using affordable microcontroller boards like ESP32, RP2040, and STM32. It provides a high-performance toolbox that handles low-level sensor and I/O management, allowing developers to focus on flight logic with minimal code. The project includes flight-tested examples for quadcopters and airplanes, enabling functional builds for under $10.
Hobbyists, makers, and developers interested in building custom drones or aircraft with microcontrollers, particularly those using ESP32, RP2040, or STM32 boards with Arduino IDE or PlatformIO.
Madflight offers a cost-effective, modular alternative to commercial flight controllers, with simplicity and extensive hardware compatibility as key advantages. Its open-source nature allows full customization, while the minimal code examples lower the barrier to entry for DIY flight controller development.
