CookieCodesAI/Bionic-Butterfly5A butterfly-like drone that can be manually controlled.
Bionic Butterfly is an open-source printed circuit board by CookieCodesAI, from the CookieCodesAI/Bionic-Butterfly repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 39.5 × 51.5 mm with 23 parts on 46 nets, routed with 141 tracks and 11 vias.
It is built around the SS14. Its parts include 1 diode, 1 switch and 1 inductor. It belongs with the robots and motor control boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.
A butterfly-like drone that can be manually controlled from your computer.
For a while now, I've been wanted to create bigger hardware projects than the ones that I had been making previously. I wanted to make an aesthetic project that would make me go beyond my limits. Making a drone was the first idea that came to mind, and with the help of my Instagram feed, I got inspired to make a butterfly drone, leading to the creation of this project!
The wings will be made with flower paper and carbon fiber to make sure that they don't weigh too much. Additionally, the wings will be connected to the servo horns with a connector that I will make and mold to make sure that it fits perfectly.
The PCB will be able to fit in the gap in the middle of the body. The servos will be placed on the angled sides of the main body and the wires will be connected as shown in the wiring diagram. The 2S LiPo battery is the yellow rectangle that was measured with the dimensions of the LiPo battery in my BOM.

It measures 39.5 × 51.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
23 parts, built around the SS14. 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.
From the CookieCodesAI/Bionic-Butterfly repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is custom_pcb/bionic_butterfly.kicad_pcb and its schematic custom_pcb/bionic_butterfly.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
