Build an Autonomous Quadcopter with Arduino Portenta H7 Dual-Core Flight Controller – Full Stabilisation & GPS Navigation Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Take your drone engineering skills into professional UAV autonomy. This kit equips you to build a quadcopter that stabilises itself at 1000 updates per second on the M7 core, while the M4 core independently navigates GPS waypoints — all on a single Arduino Portenta H7. Ideal for advanced research, Smart India Hackathon prototypes, or embedded systems capstone projects.

What You'll Build

A fully autonomous quadcopter capable of self-stabilisation in flight and GPS-guided waypoint navigation. The M7 core runs a Madgwick AHRS sensor fusion algorithm alongside a PID controller at 1kHz for rock-solid attitude control, while the M4 core handles GPS parsing and waypoint sequencing without interrupting the stabilisation loop. You'll have a drone that thinks on two parallel processors — one for stability, one for mission planning.

What You'll Learn

• Implement Madgwick AHRS for 9-DOF sensor fusion on a real-time core
• Design and tune a high-speed PID controller for quadcopter stabilisation
• Isolate GPS waypoint navigation on a separate microcontroller core using inter-core communication
• Integrate ESCs, brushless motors, and power management for a 450-size UAV frame

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit suits B.Tech ECE/EEE students working on final-year projects involving UAV autonomy, participants in Smart India Hackathon focused on drone delivery or surveillance, and researchers at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS Pilani prototyping real-time embedded systems. It demands prior experience with Arduino IDE, basic soldering, and an understanding of control theory — the AI companion helps, but this is a serious build for a maker ready to master dual-core processing.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
