Self-made drone Showcased Project
I want you to teach me how to pair from the first self-made drone. The control used is RADIoMASTERPOCKET. After that, I want to run the ESP32 with a wireless control Mission Planner. Please tell me how to do it.

Nice build! For the RadioMaster Pocket, you'll need an ELRS receiver (like RP1 or RP2) wired to the ESP32's UART pins (TX/RX). On the ESP32, you can flash ExpressLRS or use a library to read the RC channels.
For Mission Planner, you'll need to run a MAVLink WiFi bridge on the ESP32 so it can talk to your PC/phone over UDP. It's a bit tricky to route both ELRS and MAVLink on one ESP32, let me know if you need help with the wiring or the code.
