This repository contains the ESP-Drone firmware, an open-source flight control system for quadcopters based on Espressif ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-S3 microcontrollers. It is a port of the Bitcraze Crazyflie firmware (GPLv3) and is primarily designed for STEAM education. The system provides a complete drone control stack including sensor drivers (IMU, barometer, magnetometer, ToF range finders, optical flow), state estimation (complementary filter, extended Kalman filter), attitude/position controllers (PID, Mellinger, INDI), and communication via Wi-Fi (UDP, ESP-NOW) and CRTP protocol. It supports modular expansion 'decks' for additional hardware like flow sensors, thermal cameras, and localization systems (Lighthouse V1/V2, UWB TDoA). The firmware runs on FreeRTOS and uses ESP-IDF v5.0 as its development framework.

This repository is a build system for producing precompiled static libraries from ESP-IDF components, intended for use with the Arduino core for ESP32 microcontrollers. It orchestrates the entire build pipeline: cloning and updating ESP-IDF and Arduino core repositories, configuring IDF with target-specific settings (flash modes, memory variants, debug levels), compiling libraries for multiple ESP32 chip variants (esp32, esp32s2, esp32s3, esp32c3, etc.), and packaging the resulting artifacts into archives and Arduino package index JSON files. The system is driven by shell scripts (build.sh, tools/copy-libs.sh, etc.) with a CMake-based project structure, and includes a Textual-based TUI (tools/config_editor/) for interactive configuration and compilation. CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions) automate periodic builds and deployment to the esp32-arduino-libs release repository. The codebase is well-organized, with clear separation of build logic, configuration files (configs/), and tooling (tools/). It demonstrates strong DevOps practices for managing multi-target embedded library builds.

This repository distributes precompiled binary libraries (static archives) for the ESP32 series WiFi stack, used as a submodule within the Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF). It contains no source code for the WiFi stack itself; instead, it provides archived .a files for various ESP32 variants (ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3, etc.) and a set of shell scripts and CI configurations to manage library updates, fix symbol collisions (e.g., printf redefinition), and run build and feature tests. The repository acts as a binary release artifact, not a standalone application or library with reusable software components. Its primary purpose is to be checked out as a submodule in ESP-IDF to supply the low-level WiFi, mesh, and networking layers.
