@alanbijuhttps://ardupilot.org/copter/ This is one of the best doc. the entire thing for drone building is available here. also next month, I will be releasing a doc on drone building from scratch.
Join the 53rd MakerChat at MakerVillage. India’s largest electronic hardware incubator & ESDM facility, supporting hardware startups with advanced labs, incubation programs, and industry connections (MeitY initiative).
Explore how AI accelerator chips are built and discover the invisible world of the radio spectrum that powers wireless communication.

I have been working on a similar project . In which I want to capture data using the PDM mic and trasmit it through the BLE available . I am new to hardware and these sensors so I am unable to make sense of the data I am reciving on the other side(central) that is my mobile device(iphone X) with BlueLight application. I am able to find a service and I am reciving some form of hex code,but I don't know how to convert it to wave files or don't know whether it's possible or not .
If you guys have any idea or any resources that could help please do share.
I am attaching my code below :
#include <ArduinoBLE.h>
#include <mic.h> // microphone library
// Microphone Settings
#define DEBUG 1
#define SAMPLES 800
mic_config_t mic_config = {
.channel_cnt = 1,
.sampling_rate = 16000,
.buf_size = 1600,
.debug_pin = LED_BUILTIN
};
NRF52840_ADC_Class Mic(&mic_config);
int16_t recording_buf[SAMPLES];
volatile static bool record_ready = false;
// Updated UUIDs
#define SERVICE_UUID "19B10000-E8F2-537E-4F6C-D104768A1214"
#define CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_AUDIO "19B10001-E8F2-537E-4F6C-D104768A1214"
// BLE Service and Characteristic
BLEService audioService(SERVICE_UUID);
// Corrected initialization with explicit value size and fixed length flag
BLECharacteristic audioDataCharacteristic(CHARACTERISTIC_UUID_AUDIO, BLERead | BLENotify | BLEWrite, sizeof(recording_buf), true);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) delay(10);
Serial.println("Initializing microphone...");
Mic.set_callback(audio_rec_callback);
if (!Mic.begin()) {
Serial.println("Mic initialization failed");
while (1);
}
Serial.println("Mic initialized.");
Serial.println("Initializing BLE...");
if (!BLE.begin()) {
Serial.println("Failed to start BLE!");
while (1);
}
BLE.setLocalName("SCT Audio");
BLE.setAdvertisedService(audioService);
audioService.addCharacteristic(audioDataCharacteristic);
BLE.addService(audioService);
// Corrected writeValue call with explicit casting
audioDataCharacteristic.writeValue((uint8_t)0);
BLE.advertise();
Serial.println("BLE Peripheral is now advertising");
}
void loop() {
BLEDevice central = BLE.central();
if (central) {
Serial.println("Connected to central device");
while (central.connected()) {
if (record_ready) {
// Plot the audio data in the Serial Plotter
for (int i = 0; i < SAMPLES; i++) {
Serial.println(recording_buf[i]);
}
// Transmit the audio data
audioDataCharacteristic.writeValue((uint8_t*)recording_buf, 2 * SAMPLES);
Serial.println("Audio data transmitted over BLE");
record_ready = false;
}
}
Serial.println("Disconnected from central device");
}
}
static void audio_rec_callback(uint16_t *buf, uint32_t buf_len) {
static uint32_t idx = 0;
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < buf_len; i++) {
recording_buf[idx++] = buf[i];
if (idx >= SAMPLES){
idx = 0;
record_ready = true;
break;
}
}
}
My overall project capture the audio using the pdm mic and transmit it through the BLE and we will do a audio processing throguh api(fast api) calls . I don't know whether it's the right way to do this,but that's the overall idea .
