RC Flight Controller Prototype
Designed and implemented a flight‑control system for a highly manoeuvrable RC aircraft, treating it as a professional‑grade mechatronics project. The work combined embedded software, sensor fusion and servo actuation to deliver stable, repeatable flight behaviour and a flexible platform for future autonomy experiments.
Framed as a final‑year capstone but executed to industry standards, this project followed a full engineering lifecycle. I defined requirements, designed the system architecture (radio receiver, microcontroller, IMU, power distribution and servos) and implemented a PID‑based stabilisation and control‑mixing strategy. I built and wired the hardware, documented interfaces and test procedures, and validated the controller through bench tests and flight trials. The result was a robust, tunable controller that reduced pilot workload and demonstrated my ability to take a multidisciplinary system from concept to verified prototype.
Project Highlights
• Custom PID‑based flight stabilisation and mixing algorithm
• Integration of FlySky radio receiver with ESP32 microcontroller
• Construction of a fully wired servo rig and power distribution board
