Workshops›Drone Workshop

[2-day format][ECE/EEE]

Build it. Fly it. Code it. Compete.

Build and fly a small ESP32-based learning drone, controlled with Python.

[PLACEHOLDER — pending confirmed student/workshop count]

4.8/5 rating

WHAT STUDENTS WILL BUILD

Understand the physics of flight — the four forces (lift, gravity, thrust, drag) — and why a quadcopter needs 4 motors with alternating rotation

Assemble a LiteWing quadcopter from bare PCB to flight-ready drone

Program and simulate ESP32-S3 logic on Wokwi before touching real hardware

Flash and fly their own drone

Read live sensor data (IMU) and enable Height Hold mode

Control their drone programmatically using Python

WORKSHOP CHALLENGE

Teams are judged on two fronts:

• Flight Challenge — cleanest, most stable flight/hover test

• Coding Challenge — programming a flight pattern in Python within a set time limit

Top 3 teams win the Certificate of Excellence, a Delta V flagship course scholarship, and dev-board/electronics-kit goodies.

DAY AGENDA

Day 1

Foundations & Build

Step 1

How Drones Fly: four forces of flight, roll/pitch/yaw, why 4 motors (CW vs CCW logic), types of drones, real-world applications

Step 2

Meet the Microcontroller: ESP32-S3 fundamentals using the Wokwi browser simulator

Step 3

Hands-on: LED blink activity + team LED-pattern challenge on Wokwi

Step 4

Drone Assembly: 6-step hands-on build — grommets, legs, motors, wiring, propellers, battery

Day 2

Flight, Code & Compete

Step 1

Flight test with stock firmware, crash-safety protocol briefing

Step 2

Height Hold mode (Time-of-Flight sensor) and live IMU sensor data

Step 3

Controlling the onboard NeoPixel for custom visual signals

Step 4

Flying with Python (cflib SDK) — takeoff, movement patterns, landing

Step 5

Workshop Challenge + team demos + certificate distribution

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

[PLACEHOLDER — proposed default: "ECE / EEE / Robotics students, Year 2–4" — awaiting Yogesh's confirmation before publishing]

EQUIPMENT & REQUIREMENTS

Provided by Delta V: LiteWing drone kit per team (PCB frame, coreless motors, CW/CCW propellers, battery, USB-C cable), soldering irons (provided and taken back).

Required from college: Laptop with Chrome or Edge browser (Web Serial API needed for simulation and firmware tools — Firefox/Safari will not work), projector, tables, power strips, open floor space for flight testing.

Safety note: crash protocol briefing included (stop, hands up, call a marshal, never grab a spinning propeller).

SAMPLE CERTIFICATE

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION

This is proudly presented to

AARAV MEHTA

For successfully completing the LiteWing Drone Workshop — Hands-On College Workshop and building a functional prototype.

Δ DELTA V

RECOGNITION & REWARDS

Every student who completes the workshop receives a Certificate of Completion.

Each workshop closes with a team competition, judged on tasks specific to that workshop (see "Workshop Challenge" above). The top 3 teams receive:

A Certificate of Excellence
A scholarship toward a Delta V flagship course
Development boards and electronics kits from Delta V's own product line
