Key Details

  • Raspberry Pi main computer running Python for control and data logging.
  • Multiple ESP32 microcontrollers communicating over serial for actuators and sensors.
  • UDP interface + Qt GUI for testing and control.
  • Developed an unscented Kalman filter integrating accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data.
  • Ran out of time before adding GPS — positional estimation with just IMU was poor.
