DIY Drone & Robotics Engineer
About Daniel Garcia
In 2019, Daniel Garcia reverse-engineered a $300 commercial drone’s flight controller using only a multimeter, open-source firmware, and a salvaged Raspberry Pi Zero, then published the full build log, BOM, and PCB gerbers under CC-BY-SA. That project, 'Coyote V1', became the de facto starter kit for over 12,000 beginners across 78 countries, not because it flew perfectly, but because its failures were documented in granular detail: how vibration-induced IMU drift broke yaw hold at 17.3 km/h, why local humidity cracked his first batch of 3D-printed motor mounts, and how he jury-rigged ESC calibration using a $12 logic analyzer borrowed from a community college lab. His work rejects 'plug-and-play' as pedagogical surrender, every schematic includes margin notes on where solder bridges most commonly occur, every code repo ships with intentional bugs labeled 'Debug Challenge #3', and his YouTube channel’s top video isn’t a build tutorial but a 22-minute teardown of a failed Kickstarter drone that teaches thermal imaging interpretation using a $40 FLIR One.
