hobbyist / hardware

Lucas Whitworth

I build small electronics — flight controllers, microcontroller projects, and things pulled apart to see what's inside.

01 About

I tinker with DIY electronics and hardware hacking in my spare time — mostly FPV drones and RC systems, ESP32 builds, and repurposing consumer hardware that would otherwise end up in a drawer. This site is a running log of what I'm building.

in development

Personal Website

Im currently working on this very website!

Ive been working on the design and functionality, adding new features and improving the user experience.

in progress

MacBook Air display revival

Turning a 2014 MacBook Air's 13" LED panel into a standalone HDMI monitor using an LVDS controller board — currently confirming pinout compatibility before sourcing parts.

Should be complete soonish but it's really hard to source a compatible controller board.

finished

ESP32 camera build

Cool oldschool camera/camcorder.

Not the best quality, but it gets the job done for a dev board which cost less than £10.

Here are some shots of my friends and I!
