Build¶
Start here if you want to build a libdrone from components.
The guides below walk you through every phase — from CAD modelling and printing through electronics installation and software commissioning to first flight.
| Guide | What it covers | Start here if… |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Build Guide | Full end-to-end build sequence | You're starting a build |
| FreeCAD Modelling | CAD from zero, all printed parts | You're about to open FreeCAD |
| Wiring Reference | Every connection, gauge, and routing rule | You're at the wiring phase |
| Hardware Reference | Component-level specifications | You need a component spec |
| Radio Controller | TX16S, EdgeTX, ELRS, Betaflight mapping | You're configuring the radio |
| Master Specification | Acceptance criteria, IFF architecture | You're doing final sign-off |
Breaking-point test
The FreeCAD Build Guide is gated on a breaking-point test — follow it as an uninitiated builder with the V2.4.6 Cookbook on your second screen. Every friction point is a defect. Log them.
