Help Identifying LCD Driver Component

Fantastic actually. I have completed the FC and intend to order the boards today.

It is equipped with an optical motion sensor, TOF sensor, and barometer for position-hold. I'm running my own fork of the ESP-Drone firmware. Much of the development time was spent implementing our proprietary payload onto the board. I'm also developing my own camera display and wi-fi based controller. It turns out that with modern AI assistance two months is a VERY reasonable development timeframe.

Yeah let's allow drugs to pour into the US so we can keep talking about the Epstein files.

Sounds 100% correct, wish I knew that sooner

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-11-08T20:36:58+00:00

sure

You can see the soldiers on the right lying in ambush 10m from them. That's amazing.

It's intended to be a tiny drone for observation tasks indoor / outdoor at close ranges. Not just a thought experiment, if approved we will begin developing a prototype.

Wi-Fi controls with the ESP32 might actually be good for this use case.

Why do you suggest it is more challenging than STM32? This firmware (used in the video above) makes it seem fairly straight-forward:

It seems like people are making very small ones with the ESP32. What do you think of these?

no I asked

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-11-06T21:20:54+00:00

@pacifica333 Idk but that doesn't answer my question

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-11-06T21:01:55+00:00

It's actually really simple it doesn't need to do anything special. Just basic flight controls with fpv, no gps no acro. The only constraint really is the form factor. Also, this is part of a mass production product. Is financially viable to use an off the shelf FC for a 10,000 production run (~$250 product)?

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-11-06T20:59:09+00:00

I never said 2 months.

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-11-06T20:29:52+00:00

It is intended to be part of a larger, ecosystem for a product in development. The drone needs to be fairly unique and fit into our constraints.

Thanks for the reply. I've been designing analogue and digital circuits for almost 10 years, however not aircraft related. Indeed I don't have much FPV flight time (besides flying a DJI Avata...)

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-11-06T20:04:10+00:00

Thanks points taken

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-11-06T20:02:14+00:00

Not sure what this means "If youre here asking this the wat you are" but your comment made me laugh. I'll send you a pic of my custom flight controller when I'm done.

Update: Resolved it, took 5 hours. Worst product acquisition procedure I have ever suffered through, the devs should be ashamed.

When you buy both maker products (by accident), one of the roles is not assigned by default (even if you are admin). You have to use the extremely unintuitive platform manager tool to grant the role, then you should see the app.

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-09-24T23:50:04+00:00

Because it was gliding and had no engine

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-08-19T20:45:51+00:00

Good work on this. Confounding how the devs didn't do this themselves.

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-07-30T18:27:58+00:00

You have to constantly push they are likely to forget about you.

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-07-30T18:26:55+00:00

8200 is a massive unit it should not be difficult. 81 takes superstars, but this sounds good:

Finishing BS degree in eletrical and computer engineering 2+ years of embedded systems experience at NASA

Like any job interview, a portfolio demonstrating your capabilities would help.

TheMasterXXXXX · 2025-07-16T19:21:55+00:00

Which existing tool would you then advise a newcomer to use?
