The final project includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter board uses the ATMega328 chip as well but in a DIP format. It has place for a MPU6050 gyro so the control could be made just by moving the controller. It uses 2 cheap joysticks for 4 analog channels and 2 switches for another two digital channels. The radio module is a NRF24 with power amplified antenna and a range up to 700m in open field.
A 3D printed case will eb included in the kit so the controller would look a lot better. To pwoer both boards, a simple 3.7V battery could be used for the drone and a 9V one for the transmitter. The code for the drone is quite complicate and it's in its 6th version. The PID control for such a small drone is not easy. ELECTRONOOBS already presented a video on how to to that on his
YouTube channel. We are waiting for more updates on this project. If you want nice PCB services and get your own boards for 5$, check
