Project A.E.R.I.S
An advanced automated drone platform designed for autonomous navigation, environmental mapping, and real-time telemetry processing.
What I Did
I was responsible for the core flight control configuration of Project A.E.R.I.S, utilizing the **ESP32** microcontroller as the "brain" of the operation. This involved deploying and configuring flight control firmware specifically optimized for the ESP32 architecture.
A significant portion of my work focused on **fine-tuning PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) settings**. This iterative process was crucial for achieving stabilized flight performance, ensuring the drone could maintain poise and react accurately to environmental variables and navigation commands.
To make the system data-visible, I developed and hosted a **custom Webserver directly on the ESP32**. This allows for the real-time broadcasting of telemetry information, providing a live dashboard for monitoring sensor data, flight status, and navigation logs without needing external hardware.
