A $31 toy drone turned into a real-time flight cockpit
With a cheap toy drone and no code of their own, a maker treated Claude as the engineer: it worked out the control link and built the flight software and a live cockpit on a laptop.

The full story
With nothing but a $31 toy drone and Claude, a maker wanted a proper hardware project without writing code. They explained in plain English how the drone should fly, what the controls should do and what they wanted on screen.
Within a few hours Claude had handled the calibration and live controls and built a browser-based cockpit that flies the drone in real time.
