What You Can Build With This
- DIY palm-sized autonomous drone with Wi-Fi control
- Swarm robotics experiment using multiple LiteWings
- Programmable IoT drone for environmental monitoring
- FPV micro-drone with smartphone camera streaming
Compatibility
Works with any standard 3.7V brushed Coreless motors and 55-65mm propellers. Easily connects to external modules like GPS, magnetometer, or cameras via I2C, SPI, and UART. Fully compatible with the Arduino ESP32 core and ESP-IDF for professional firmware development.
Wiring Notes
Solder motors directly to M1-M4 pads observing correct polarity. The onboard charging circuit requires a 5V USB input—never exceed 5.5V. Total motor current draw should stay below 3A to prevent damage to the power management IC.
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 LiteWing supports Arduino IDE programming using the official ESP32 board package. You can write sketches in C++ to control motors and read sensor data.
Does it include motors and propellers?
The kit includes only the development board with battery. Motors, propellers, and a drone frame are sold separately to allow you to choose components that fit your design.
Can I use it for FPV racing?
It features Wi-Fi for video streaming, but latency may not meet real-time racing requirements. It's best suited for testing algorithms or casual monitoring applications.
📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included
Every Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes. Download it via QR code on your package. The handoff document is also trained to help you troubleshoot the majority of problems.
