TODO
- need to fix value drift on imu
- need a filter or something for improved imu data
- need to continue and test and adjust pid values

Questions
How big is the Picodrone controller PCB?
It measures 35.6 × 71.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Picodrone controller use?
32 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Picodrone controller KiCad files?
From the bradley-ray/picodrone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/picodrone_controller/picodrone_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/picodrone_controller/picodrone_controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Picodrone controller design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask bradley-ray before reusing the design.
