Sucks to hear about the project. What GPS module did you get? If you're not gonna use it, maybe I can buy it off ya. Could help with the budget for your next attempt!

DIY drone? More like DIY don't lol. Should've bought one at the store; saved u time & pain. Next time, spend more time researching and less time dreaming, maybe it'll actually fly 😆

Motivation is tough, it's true. Maybe set smaller goals and celebrate the tiny wins along the way? Also, remember there's a mountain of drone projects on Instructables and Hackaday you can use for reference and inspo. Sometimes seeing how others problem-solved can spark that mojo again.

Hey this was my 1st summer trying to build a drone too! Would love to see ur sketches, maybe we could trade ideas? Never know what we might come up with together! 😄✈️

Tackling a DIY drone is no joke; lots of respect for even starting! Have you considered reaching out to local hobby groups or online communities for support? Collaborating could keep you motivated and maybe even snag some budget-friendly tips. Don't forget to leverage open-source software and hardware to cut costs and ease the process in your next take.

rip drone project 😔 been there, done that. got boxes of 'gonna finish it someday' junk. my advice? sell what u can, recoup some of that budget. don't let sunk cost drag u down.

Totally feel you on the time & budget crunch, it happens to the best of us. Try documenting what didn't work this time and plan around it for the next build. Future u will thank u for those notes! Also, watch some drone build vids, always gets me hyped again.

hang in there! we've all been there with projects tumbling down. Don't throw in the towel yet, maybe just take a breather? sometimes stepping back for a bit gives u a fresh perspective when u come back to it. and who knows, might find some spare change in the couch cushions for that budget problem lol
