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.
