Hello, all. For a NodeBots expo I'm going to be helping out at I'm looking at building a Node programmed Quadcopter. The way this system works is by leveraging the public sections of the control protocol for a Parrot AR drone which is controlled over WiFi by an app or server. 

Thing is I don't want to buy a Parrot AR just for the sake of this project. I DO want to buy some Tiny Whoops though. 

So I'm wondering, does anyone know if there is a receiver that I can use to control a Tiny Whoop or other small "real" quad over WiFi?

If there isn't an existing solution I'm thinking if it should be possible to built one using an Arduino or similar to take WiFi input and convert it to PPM or IBUS inputs.

I think you are better off building your own with an Arduino or something like that. There are things that do the job, but they are unstable and a pain to use

Thanks. I think that's where I'm ending up. Going to try and pull in IBUS protocol and then try to build out a library that will let me replace the IBUS reciever with a Adafruit Huzzah or similar.

Do you have the documentation for IBUS? I think PPM is much easier to generate

PPM definitely seems easier but isn't it one way? I'll need telemetry back from the FC.

Telemetry and control protocol are two different things, independent from each other.
