Tutorial for learning to create a simple drone

Hello.

Is there any tutorial for creating a simple drone (my only requirement is that i can fly/lift)

This just for fun, Im thinking of using a Raspberry pi, since im used to Them.

Google returns a few drone projects:

Drone Dojo
ZD Net
Instructables
Raspberry Pi Forums

This is something that piqued my interest in the past and I may start gathering parts to do the same… that said, my DJI items may feel a bit slighted! lol

I ordered a Pi 4 last night and want to do something different with them other than Magic Mirror or just messing around.

Hi @Grizzlyman and welcome to the RobotShop community!

Yes! There is a full tutorial on How to Make a Drone / UAV it consists of 8 lessons and it will guide you through the whole process. The example shown in the tutorial uses a Quadrino Nano Flight Controller but you could use a Pi for yours, one of the links provided by @bmoscato is the The Drone Pi you should definitely check that one out!

It would be great if you could share your project in the Robots section where you can also see some other drone projects and find some inspiration!

Good luck with your project :grin:

@geraldinebc15 I didn’t even see the tutorial on RobotShop, very informative and gives the user different paths to pursue.
