96Boards Drone Project
summary
A lightweight 96Boards drone prototype uses a carbon‑fiber 23.5 cm wheelbase frame (12.7 cm arms, 110 g), STM32 mezzanine for real‑time control and optional Cortex‑A 96Boards for Linux tasks, and an Arrow core board with CAN, cell‑voltage monitor and watchdog. It runs Zephyr, required upstream driver work, and flies with 2300 kV motors (27.6 A peak, ~482 W), 4″ tri‑blades, a SimonK 30A ESC over PWM (1–2 ms). Current battery is 1000 mAh 20C (requires >50% throttle); next steps are UAVCAN motors, GPS, 360° sensors and digital low‑latency video.
