Inspiration

Project was suggested by Dean Zeller based on a science fiction story he wrote

What it does

It is a drone which can be controlled by hand gestures

How I built it

We built it using ESPcopter Myo, Armband, and mobile device

Challenges I ran into

The ESPcopter has lots of bugs in their software. Drones were damaged in development. Bad documentation for software.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Implemented ESPcopter despite software challenges. Found way to connect Myo Armband and ESPcopter despite the incompatibility.

What I learned

Arduino basics (hardware and software), drone mechanics, effective task-load distribution, problem solving.

What's next for Chomp

Adding autonomous capabilities. Bridge the gap between armband and copter with our own controller software. Make controller more intuitive.
