The servos and motors work together to control the speed and angle of the blades to achieve flight on the MAV. Each motor is controlled using an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) which regulates and distributes power from the battery to the motor. The ESCs are controlled by a 16kHz PWM signal that is generated by the flight control system. Similarly, the servos are controlled by a PWM signal that dictates the angle for the servo to hold it's position. This 50Hz signal is also generated by the flight control system.

In order to maintain a stable flight, the MAV uses an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to measure its tilt. This data is sent back to the pilot's display and used to make in-flight corrections to the vehicle. These corrections are made using a PID (Proportional Integral Derivative Controller) which change a combination of swash-plate angle, and motor speed to maintain stable flight.

While flying, the MAV collects and transmits basic telemetry data back to the pilot in order to improve the pilot's awareness when they are remotely operating the MAV. The key pieces of data transmitted to the pilot are yaw pitch and roll angles, payload state, a FPV camera feed, and obstacle proximity to the left and right of the vehicle. All of this information is communicated over WiFi using a ESP32 module and a base station.
