M5Stamp Fly is a programmable open-source quadcopter kit, with StampS3 as the main controller. It integrates a BMI270 6-axis gyroscope and BMM150 3-axis magnetometer for attitude and direction detection, a BMP280 barometric pressure sensor, and two VL53L3 distance sensors for precise altitude hold and obstacle avoidance. The PMW3901MB-TXQT optical flow sensor enables displacement detection, while a buzzer, reset button, and WS2812 RGB LED are used for interaction and status indication. It is equipped with a 300mAh high-voltage power battery and four high-speed coreless motors. The PCB features an onboard INA3221AIRGVR for real-time current/voltage monitoring, and two Grove interfaces for easy expansion of other sensors and peripherals. Pre-installed with debugging software, it pairs with the Atom JoyStick for remote control via the ESP-NOW protocol. Users can choose between automatic or manual modes to easily achieve functions such as position hold and flips. The firmware source code is open-source. This product is suitable for education, research, and various drone development projects.
This tutorial will guide you on how to flash the factory firmware to StampFly & Atom Joystick using M5Burner, pairing, and basic operations and indications of the quadcopter.
Note
Charging Precautions
Plug the battery into the Atom Joystick charging slot and connect the data cable to the Atom Joystick to charge.
Battery Maintenance
1. Do not discharge the battery below 3V per cell under load. 2. Do not store a fully charged battery for more than 3 days. For long-term storage, keep the voltage between 3.8V and 3.9V.

BMM150 Magnetic Field Interference
Products with magnets may interfere with the BMM150 magnetic field sensor, causing abnormal readings. When used with an M5 master control device containing a magnet, the magnet needs to be removed, and at the same time, the BMM150 sensor should be kept away from strong magnetic fields.
