From the airframe to the pilot's controller, from the communication platform to the analysis tools, every piece has been designed and built from scratch. At the heart of Centauri lies the Centauri Flight Controller , a custom MicroPython‑based flight controller , running efficiently on a low‑power Raspberry Pi Pico. Unlike most quadcopter projects that rely on off‑the‑shelf flight controllers, Centauri is entirely original. Centauri builds on my earlier Scout flight controller, representing a major leap forward in capability, performance, and system integration. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0ff39eb4-ba65-41b6-8ec0-05878d19641e To see how Centauri was made and watch it in action, click below: In This Project This repository provides everything you need to build your own Centauri quadcopter and take flight. This includes: Project Component Thumbnail Description - - - Quadcopter Custom quadcopter, with: - 3D-Printable Design - Components List - Wiring Diagram - Custom Flight Controller, written in MicroPython Transmitter Serves as pilot's interface for controlling the quadcopter. Includes: - Main Python program for a PC - USB Radio Transceiver Platform - Custom binary communication protocol Telemetry Extracting Python program for unpacking binary telemetry logs stored on the quadcopter's MCU into human‑readable .csv files Build-Along Series Want to build your own","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/TimHanewich","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/TimHanewich/centauri/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
