README
README.mdBicopter
A bicopter is a type of unmanned aerial vehicle that features two rotors for generating lift and controlling its movement. Unlike traditional quadcopters, which have four rotors, bicopters use only two rotors to achieve flight.
Assembly
- Uses a PCB that acts at the frame and provides support to all the other components.
- Two motors each connected to a servo motor using a 3D-printed contraption
- The propellers have a mounting boss with a hole diameter equal to the motor shaft diameter
- The servos are attached to the PCB using strong glue
- The rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is mounted under the PCB using zip ties
- The landing gears are 3D printed and attached to the PCB using screws and nuts
Hardware block diagram
- ESP32 WROOM:
- Control BLDC and servo motors to maintain flight

Questions
How big is the Bicopter PCB?
It measures 150 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Bicopter use?
79 parts, built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, MT3608, DW01A and MPU-6050. 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 Bicopter KiCad files?
From the InputBlackBoxOutput/Bicopter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Bicopter design in my own project?
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).
