Category: Robotics & Drones

Real-time flight controller for multirotor drones handling IMU sensor fusion, PID-based stabilization, GPS navigation, and RC receiver input.

Key Features

  • 6/9-DOF IMU fusion
  • PID stabilization
  • GPS waypoint navigation
  • RC receiver input
  • Telemetry output
  • Failsafe modes

Firmware Components

  • IMU driver (SPI)
  • Kalman/Mahony filter
  • PID controller
  • PWM ESC output
  • MAVLink protocol
  • SD card logging

Protocols

uart, spi, i2c, ble

Multirotor flight controllers on Nordic targets typically use a dual-MCU architecture — a Nordic nRF SoC for BLE/cellular telemetry, ground-link RC, and OTA, paired with a dedicated high-rate flight-control MCU on the same board.
