I GAVE A DRONE THE BRAIN OF A FRUIT FLY
github.com/SpikeCalls/FlyDro…
Not a toy network with a handful of fake neurons.
The actual wiring diagram of a real fly.
166,700 neurons, 25.6 million connections, mapped one synapse at a time.
I call it FlyDrones.
The drone's camera becomes the fly's eyes.
Motion lights up the same neurons a real fly uses to see.
Spikes race through the connectome down to the neurons that drive the wings.
Those spikes become throttle and yaw.
The brain has zero lines of flight code, just wiring.
Swing a fly swatter at it.
If the giant fiber (the fly's escape neuron) fires in time, the drone dodges.
Open palm, fist, rush at the camera and it reacts like a fly.
Built for Tello, Crazyflie, ArduPilot/PX4 and Betaflight quads via ESP32.
Code is MIT, powered by Claude.
Fork it and give your drone a brain.
