Building a Flying Car from Scratch | RP2040 + MPU6050 Flight Controller

Flying Car Prototype Using Custom Flight Controller (No Pixhawk, No Betaflight)

I Built a Flying Car Using a Raspberry Pi Pico




This video shows the working prototype of a DIY flying car built from scratch using a custom flight controller.

Instead of using ready-made flight controllers like Pixhawk or Betaflight, this project uses a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) with an MPU6050 IMU to directly control ESCs and motors. The system is designed to work both as a ground vehicle (car mode) and an aerial vehicle (drone mode).

🔧 Key Features:
• Custom-built flight controller (RP2040)
• MPU6050 for gyro and accelerometer data
• Direct ESC control (no RC receiver, no NX4)
• Separate car drive using L298N motor driver
• Modular design for future autonomy and AI control

🧠 Project Highlights:
• Full control over flight logic and motor mixing
• Instant boot and deterministic timing using microcontroller
• Designed for experimentation, learning, and future expansion
• Props-off safety testing shown where applicable



📌 Future plans:
• PID tuning and stabilization improvements
• Car-to-flight transition logic
• Autonomous navigation
• AI-based control using Raspberry Pi

If you’re interested in robotics, drones, or experimental vehicle design, this project is for you.
