DIY-Drone

Over my Christmas break I have decided to build a drone from parts. This Repo will likely evolve overtime as I better understand what I want to do with the drone. My first idea is write an object following algorithm. I'd also like to replace the Navio2 with controllers that I design. I can't afford a physical controller right now. I hope to simulate one with a computer.
