README
README.mdAbout
The Cicada Project is the flight controller based on ESP8266 Wifi module. You can make it yourself to come in the world of drone developers. Cicada doesn't have a hardware pult with sticks. To control a drone there is desktop application developed on Java and mobile application for Android v7 and higher. You can connect a gamepad to your smartphone or desktop to control a drone. The flight controller can work in WiFi normal mode as WiFi station or WiFi Access Point. Also It can work in WiFi Broadcast mode (WiFi monitor mode). To work in broadcast mode you have to connect the special wifi broadcast serial modem to your smartphone or desktop. The serial modem is easy. You can do it yourself easy. Just ESP-07 module + UART-USB bridge. Flash in ESP-07 the modem firmware which is placed in the folder /firmware/WifiBroadcastModemFw.

Drones
Examples of drones you can find in drones folder of this project.
Firmware
The firmware is based on PDL. Portable Drone Logic (PDL) is the lightweight pure C library implements a common drone logic. The goal of PDL is to be easy to use and easy to port to your hardware platform. PDL supports only quadcopters at this time.
It provides for you
- data model
- application template
- task scheduler
- chain of PIDs
- parser for binary digital commands
PDL is a part of this project. But you can use it to create firmware for your own hardware platform. Documentation is available in /firmware/CicadaFw/libraries/pdl
To build firmware you need
- Install Sloeber IDE https://github.com/Sloeber/arduino-eclipse-plugin/releases/
- Run Sloeber IDE. Go to Arduino->Preferences->Platforms and Boards. Download latest version of ESP8266 platform
- Install I2C driver https://github.com/enjoyneering/ESP8266-I2C-Driver
- Create ssid_config.h file with your wifi-net settings. For example
Firmware supports update by the air. It is based on ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer.

Questions
How big is the Cicada pwm esc PCB?
It measures 21.4 × 25.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Cicada pwm esc use?
32 parts, built around the 74HC125D, HT7533S, IRLML2502 and SS16. 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 Cicada pwm esc KiCad files?
From the mars2860/cicada repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/design/cicada-pwm-esc/cicada-pwm-esc.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Cicada pwm esc design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
