LiteWing ESP32 DIY Drone Kit for Makers and Developers
LiteWing ESP32 DIY Drone Kit – Programmable Quadcopter for Makers
The LiteWing is a complete DIY drone kit built around the ESP32 microcontroller. It gives makers and developers a programmable flight platform that runs Arduino or MicroPython code. All mechanical and electronic parts are included so you can assemble, configure, and fly without hunting for compatible components.

What You Can Build With This
- WiFi-controlled FPV drone: add a camera and fly via smartphone over a local network
- Programmable flight controller: write custom stabilisation code in Arduino or MicroPython
- Autonomous obstacle avoidance: integrate ultrasonic sensors and a GPS module for waypoint navigation
- Drone swarm experiments: use ESP-NOW for inter-drone communication without extra radios
Compatibility
The ESP32 flight controller works with the Arduino IDE and MicroPython. It supports MAVLink over WiFi, so you can connect to ground station software like QGroundControl. The frame and power system are standard, fitting most 5-inch drone electronics and third-party accessories.
Wiring Notes
Solder the four ESCs to the power distribution board, then connect each motor to an ESC. The ESP32 outputs PWM on GPIOs 12, 13, 14, and 15 for motor signals. Use a 5V regulator to power the ESP32 from the 4S battery and keep signal wires twisted with ground to reduce noise.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, the ESP32 can be programmed in the Arduino IDE using the ESP32 board package. Example code for motor control and WiFi is available.
Does the kit include a battery or transmitter?
No, you must supply a 4S LiPo battery and use a smartphone/computer as the controller over WiFi, or add your own RC receiver.
Can I mount a GPS module?
Yes, the ESP32 has spare UART and I2C pins. Common GPS units like NEO-6M work directly for position hold and waypoint missions.
📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included
