Product Overview
LiteWing ESP32-S3 Programmable Drone Development Board with Battery
The LiteWing ESP32-S3 Programmable Drone is designed to make learning, experimenting, and flying drones effortless for students, makers, and hobbyists. It comes fully assembled with a battery included, so you can start flying right out of the box without soldering or complicated setup.
Built around the powerful ESP32-S3, it offers smooth performance, easy wireless control through a mobile app, and plenty of room for customization.What makes LiteWing exciting is how beginner-friendly yet developer-focused it is. You can program custom flight routines using Python or dive deeper using Arduino or ESP-IDF — just like a modern DIY drone kit but much simpler to handle.
With its open-source design, lightweight PCB frame, and repairable parts, this drone is perfect for workshops, classrooms, and anyone curious about drone programming or embedded systems.
