Is this just someone reposting espressif's esp-drone (https://github.com/espressif/esp-drone https://github.com/espressif/esp-drone) and passing it off as their own (and DigiKey posting it on their site)? They talk about making a custom PCB, but it looks pretty much the same.
The repository linked from the article (https://github.com/Circuit-Digest/ESP-Drone https://github.com/Circuit-Digest/ESP-Drone) has some issues claiming there's malware in it, and the commit history looks a little suspicious, but I could be wrong.
- asadalt 2y agodamn you are right!
- stavros 2y agoWow, yeah, I thought Espressif just wrote the firmware, but this drone is really really similar to the one posted, PCB struts and all.
- nick__m 2y agoSince those who filed the issue did not even stated which file is affected this is pure speculation but the virus issue really look like a false positive. The pre-built firmware checked into a repo could easily trigger an anti-virus. The repo is mostly made of plain text files, the zip and the bin don't look required for anything so if your feeling paranoid delete them before building!
- m00x 2y agoYeah, he took the code straight from esp-drone which is copyrighted. https://github.com/Circuit-Digest/ESP-Drone/blob/main/Firmware/esp-drone/main/main.c https://github.com/Circuit-Digest/ESP-Drone/blob/main/Firmwa... I believe this is a violation of the license. Very poor form of Digikey to hire these people.
