DIY Assembly Coding Drones

The 'Air:bit' Drone Offers Makers Total Control Over the Device

— September 20, 2019 — Tech
The 'Air:bit' drone is a DIY technology solution for makers that will offer them a customizable way to create an aircraft that's ready for impressive aerial performance.

The micro:bit-based drone starts off as a series of components that need to be fashioned by the user into the final unit that can be controlled via a connected Android or iOS device. The frame of the drone is crafted from Koskisen Birtch plywood that is inherently resilient to prevent continued use or accidents from rendering it broken.

The 'Air:bit' drone needs to be coded by the user, which will offer an enhanced sense of customization that prosumers will appreciate. The unit supports distance sensors, cameras and additional advanced components to offer makers a drone that's ready for enhancement down the line.
