This is a thread dedicated to development of a way to operate a remote control drone with the [LipSync](https://makersmakingchange.com/project/lipsync/). The main objectives of this project are outlined in the [Motor Mouth Project](https://makersmakingchange.com/project/motormouth/).

A significant chunk of work and a working prototype was completed as part of a weekend Hackathon. The coding and schematics can be found here in the Github repository:

Traxxas Aton is going to be the second model of drone/quad-copter that we would like to adopt to use Lipsync as controller.

The flight controller code is open source as well and it’s based on most popular open source drone flight controller (ArduPilot).

Updated version of ArduPilot firmware source code used in Traxxas Aton:
https://github.com/traxxas/ardupilot/releases/tag/aton-3.3.2.14

[ArduPilot source code](https://ardupilot.org/copter/)

I think the current system should work with minor changes based on picture of flight controller board.

I have created DIY Drone/QuadCopter about 3 years ago and I am planning to donate it to someone to finish it as I don’t have to fly it indoor. I am hoping someone would use the same lipsync system on it for research and testing purposes.

Here’s the picture of Drone:

The Drone firmware is [MultiWii 2.4](https://code.google.com/p/multiwii/) and the GPS firmware is configured. It only requires calibration of controller parameters.

Let me know if you interested to receive additional information.
