Roflcopter - Gesture Based Quad-copter Controller

Abstract

The project is a gesture based quad-copter controller. User can control a quad-copter by moving their hands. It is a course project we proposed for EECS 373 micro-controller based system.

Given a pre-built quadcopter and its controller, we disassembled the controller for the quadcopter and replacing the buttons and analog sticks with outputs from gyroscopes and capacitive buttons. These components were attached to velcro hand wraps that the user can put on to control the drone.
