Quadcopter With Nodemcu And Blynk(Without Flight Controller)

Hello guys.!
The search to make drone without a flight controller ends here.
I was kinda making drone for my project which involves survillence.I was surfing net overnight to make it work without the flight controller and its was very disappointing that i didnt one.So i decided to make this instructable so its easy for those who will be making drone without flight controller.
Blynk is an open-source IOT platform where one can control the things remotely.(Can be even stated as an universal remote).Check out their webpage to know more.
Thanks to Blynk.!
Nodemcu has been on buzz these days.I have used nodemcu because of its ease in programming.One can program it in arduino IDE itself.
Prerequisites:One needs to know the basic soldering techniques and of Arduino IDE.
Things needed:1.BLDC motors.(In my case, i have used 2212 1800KV motors of quantity 4)
2.30A ESC-4
3.A drone frame(One can order it online or can make it like this).
4.LIPO Battery(Typically with a charger)(I have used 2200 mAh 11.1V 30C spec battery).
5.Power Distribution Board.
6.Nodemcu
References:Here are the references i have used:
1.Blynk Docs
2.Nodemcu docs
3.Esp9266WiFi Header functions.
4.BLDC and ESC working, calibration.(Refer youtube).
Time to get started.!”
