How to wire motors and program ML on ESP32S3?

Postby DainyBoi » Tue Aug 22, 2023 2:17 pm

Hi all, I recently got an ESP32S3, and I plan to make a small, very compact micro drone. The goal of the drone is to be able to move autonomously toward flowers that need pollination. The drone will have to fly toward the unpollinated flowers, and once approaching, modulate its speed to slow down and land on the flower, stay for a few seconds, and then fly back up again. I know now how to wire both my camera and battery, but am struggling with how I'm meant to wire the motors. I have small, 3 V dc motors, and am wondering how I can wire them to the ESP32S3, and get that code working on it. I assume you would need motor drivers, as those can modulate both the speed and direction of motors, but again, I need to make it as small and compact as possible. I also assume I would need to utilize machine learning to identify the flowers, but I'm not sure how to go about that. I know there's GitHub, but are all the resources I need to execute this on there? I would very much appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

TL;DR
I am using an ESP32S3 to make a compact micro drone, and it needs to be able to fly to unpollinated flowers and pollinate them. For this purpose, I am wondering how to code machine learning on this board, and, first and foremost, am wondering how to get the motors working, more specifically in tandem with the camera.

I think for the ML part, you need to use TinyML. Here are some links that may give you a lead:
