        First part of a series of videos on the design of a complete flight control system from scratch (hardware, software, control and navigation algorithms, base station, etc.).<br><br>
I go through the necessary steps to design the hardware, including choosing components, schematic design, layout, routing, and testing.<br><br>

I designed the PCB with KiCAD and had the boards manufactured and assembled by PCBWay.
