Greenhouse Pressure Monitor Kit
Greenhouse Pressure Monitor Kit – DIY Quadcopter Flight Controller with Arduino Mega & PID Stabilisation
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 full control of flight stabilisation by building your own quadcopter flight controller from scratch. The Greenhouse Pressure Monitor Kit uses an Arduino Mega 2560 brain paired with an MPU6050 IMU and BMP280 barometer to run a custom PID loop on all four axes — roll, pitch, yaw, and altitude. Graduate from ready-made flight stacks and understand exactly how each line of code keeps your drone level in the air.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional F450-class quadcopter with a hand-soldered controller board that reads gyroscope, accelerometer, and barometric pressure data. The flight software processes these inputs through four independent PID controllers and sends throttle commands to the brushless motors. A pair of NRF24L01 modules provides a wireless link to your ground station, letting you command the drone manually while observing stabilisation behaviour in real time.
What You'll Learn
- Implement a real-time PID control algorithm for roll, pitch, yaw, and altitude hold
- Fuse raw IMU data using complementary or Kalman filtering to obtain clean attitude estimates
- Calibrate a barometric pressure sensor for vertical position stabilisation
- Configure brushless ESCs, balance propellers, and test the complete drive train safely

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for final-year B.Tech ECE and EEE students prototyping autonomous drone projects, Smart India Hackathon teams tackling UAV challenges, and members of IIT, NIT, VIT, and BITS drone clubs who want to master flight controller design from the ground up. It also suits serious hobbyists moving from pre-flown drones to a platform where every control parameter is visible and adjustable in the Arduino IDE.
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.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion walks you step-by-step through wiring, code upload, and PID tuning. If you need a human touch, WhatsApp support is included — the number is on the QR card.
Do I need prior experience with Arduino or flight controllers?
Familiarity with Arduino basics and some C/C++ helps, but the AI companion explains each PID term, sensor calibration step, and ESC setup in detail — you can follow along even if this is your first flight controller.
Can this drone carry a camera or other payload?
The 2200mAh battery and 2300KV motors are optimised for stabilisation testing. Payload capacity is limited, though the frame can support small modules; the primary intent is mastering control algorithms.
What if a motor or ESC arrives dead?
We test all power components before shipping. If a manufacturing defect surfaces within 7 days, we replace the part at no extra cost — just contact support through the QR-linked portal or WhatsApp.
