15. System Integration¶
Implemented Methods of Packaging¶
My project includes a compact and stable chassis that securely houses all electronic components. The body is custom 3D printed to fit the ESP32-S3 controller, motor driver, battery pack, AI camera module, and sensors. Wiring is moved internally using modular connectors, allowing for a clean looking assembly and easy maintenance. The structure is designed to absorb minor impacts and protect critical components during agile movements.
Designed to Look Like a Finished Product¶
The final build is intentionally styled to resemble a professional tactical drone, similar to those seen in Rainbow Six Siege. All electronics are enclosed in a sleek shell with mounted mecanum wheels. The camera is mounted for flexibility and minimal exposure when not in use. The design should look very sleek but also visually cohesive, making the drone appear as a finalized, ready to be bought device rather than a rough prototype.
Documented System Integration¶
All systems — motor control, AI-based camera face recognition, wireless input, and audio output — are controlled by the ESP32-S3 board. The documentation includes: - Diagrams of hardware integration - Wiring schematics - Code flowcharts - Photos and videos of everything working together
The ESP32 handles inputs and outputs through PWM and UART port, with the motor driver controlling four motor channels and the camera handling real-time face detection. Power management is shared across a regulated LiPo battery setup with onboard voltage regulation.
