DroneDrop is a lightweight, ESP32-powered payload release mechanism designed for drones like the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Using a photoresistor for light detection and a servo motor for actuation, the system delivers payloads with precision. The custom 3D-printed housing ensures minimal weight impact while securely housing the components.
- Microcontroller: HELTEC ESP32.
- Trigger System: Photoresistor detects light signal to release the payload.
- Lightweight Housing: Custom 3D-printed enclosure tailored for my DJI Mini 3 Pro.
- Easy Integration: Designed for reliable operation.
- Successfully tested with an egg drop payload.
- Compact and efficient design with minimal impact on drone performance.
- Open-source code and modular hardware design for easy replication or improvement.
