I don't want to buy the Radio transmitter due to budget issues as most controllers in my country cost around $60 to $80USD is there a way to control the drone with an nRF24 with my pc or phone? If not it's ok I can work with the Bluetooth modules but I want to use the nRF due to range problems. I have considered using the ESP8266 but I could not find a suitable code anywhere. Please, is there a way to use the drone from my pc or phone? or will I have to use the Bluetooth module instead(I do have the code for the Bluetooth module). Anyways thanks!
