DroneBridge for ESP32
Secure & transparent telemetry link with support for WiFi and ESP-NOW
DroneBridge for ESP32 is lightweight firmware that turns inexpensive ESP32 boards into wireless telemetry links for drones and other vehicles. It bridges serial data to standard Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Long Range, ESP-NOW, or Bluetooth Low Energy. MAVLink, MSP, LTM, and arbitrary serial payloads can be transported through the system. Standard Wi-Fi can reach roughly 150 meters, while compatible ESP-NOW or long-range Wi-Fi setups can extend much farther. Traffic can be encrypted with AES-256-GCM, including broadcast-based ESP-NOW communication. A web interface handles configuration, and over-the-air updates simplify maintenance. The project focuses on telemetry and low-data-rate communication rather than video transmission. -

ESP8266 USB Software Driver
Software-only ESP8266 USB Device
ESPUSB is a software-only USB device stack that adds low-speed USB capability to ESP8266 and ESP8285 microcontrollers. It implements the USB protocol primarily in software instead of relying on dedicated USB hardware. The design needs only a small amount of external circuitry and uses adjacent GPIO pins for the D+ and D- signals. It operates at USB low speed, making it suitable for human-interface devices and control-oriented peripherals. The repository includes an example that emulates a USB keyboard and mouse. A web interface can remotely control those virtual input devices over the ESP8266 network connection. The implementation is highly memory-conscious and includes custom control-message handling, hardware designs, and build tooling for embedded experimentation. -

Firmware updates can be delivered over Wi-Fi, while Bluetooth or Wi-Fi modes can emulate a simulator joystick. Bind phrases simplify pairing without requiring physical bind-button procedures. The project also supports telemetry, displays, and remote configuration of compatible video transmitters and receivers. -
PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause DowntimeReactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

Flix
Making an ESP32-based quadcopter from scratch
Flix is an open-source ESP32-based quadcopter project built from general-purpose components for education, research, and experimentation. Its firmware is written in Arduino-style C++ and intentionally kept compact so learners can understand the complete flight-control stack. Communication uses MAVLink over Wi-Fi or ESP-NOW. The drone can be controlled with a USB gamepad, radio controller, or smartphone. A wireless command-line interface supports configuration and analysis without a wired connection. The project also includes a Gazebo simulator that runs the original flight code and a Python library for scripted or automatic flights. Hardware files, assembly instructions, troubleshooting guides, and flight-control documentation make it suitable for hands-on learning. -

DroneSploit
Drone pentesting framework console
DroneSploit is a Python command-line framework for authorized security testing of drones and related wireless systems. Its interface is modeled after Metasploit to provide a familiar module-oriented workflow for security researchers. The framework gathers drone-specific assessment techniques and security modules in one console. Individual modules activate only when their required external tools and dependencies are available. Its architecture is built on the SploitKit framework and can be extended with additional modules. The project has been presented as a drone penetration-testing research platform at security conferences. Because its capabilities can affect real devices and networks, it is appropriate only for systems covered by explicit testing authorization. -

dRehmFlight
Teensy/Arduino flight controller & stabilization for small-scale VTOL
dRehmFlight is an Arduino-compatible flight controller created for hobbyists, researchers, and learners building unusual VTOL aircraft. It emphasizes readable, centralized code instead of a large framework spread across many files and classes. The project is designed to teach aircraft stabilization and flight-control concepts while remaining easy to modify. Its primary hardware platform uses a Teensy 4.0 microcontroller and an MPU6050 six-axis IMU. Features include receiver input handling, IMU calibration, ESC calibration, motor arming, and customizable control logic. Because the code is easy to edit in the Arduino ecosystem, experimental aircraft behaviors can be added quickly. The project is intended mainly for education and rapid prototyping rather than commercial flight-control deployment. -
