What it can do
Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.
- Flies as a quadrotor using four 8520 coreless motors and 55 mm propellers
- Stabilizes attitude and altitude using onboard MPU9250 and MS5611 sensors
- Supports NRF24L01 radio for remote control
- Provides I2C expansion port for additional sensors or modules
