Intro

Jackson is the third drone of the Cornell Motion Studio and the successor of the BritneyDrone.

Jackson features a custom-designed 3d printable frame and a built-from-scratch Raspberry Pi Pico-based Flight Controller hardware/software. Its software provides convenient APIs for several onboard peripherals, such as the ESC, IMU, and Radio Receiver. So the new developers can pick it up faster.

This Wiki page will be the main gateway for folks to learn how its software, hardware, and electrical systems work. But more importantly, how to build it yourself from scratch.
