In TWR you get the distance from the CF to each anchor and you will have to collect data for a few positions of the CF to be able to get a solution. This was also one of my ideas - Make a "calibration triangle" with three places for a CF to mount with known spatial relationships to each o...

I'm looking at using the Crazyflie+Loco system for an automated drone swarm application. Part of the requirements of the application is the minimization of setup and calibration time necessary to set up the system in an arbitrary space before the system is ready to execute the sequence. I'm looking ...

Your best bet is actually to implement your model in the crazyflie firmware, it is capable of updating the motors much more frequently and with lower latency.

All right, I'll do that on my next day off from work. I've never worked with github before so thanks for the info.

I'm doing all of my editing in MacOS, what I should have done was clone the bitcraze repo into a folder in MacOS and edited that... What I actually did was copy-paste the files from my crazyflie VM into a folder in MacOS, and a bunch of them ended up with that UTF-8 issue. I thought I got them all, ...

I've been doing a lot of hacking on the firmware on my own CF2 and I've decided to open it up in case the work I'm doing might benefit anybody else. At minimum, I've got a super stable yet extremely responsive self-leveling mode going on that I think mainline devs might be interested in looking at. ...

I don't have a way to record video, unfortunately. Video quality is about what you'd expect from a camera the size of a postage stamp. Certainly flyable, though. I wish it had a bit of a wider lens but that's about it. It looks like this: http://imgur.com/R7xFfNn No video noise, the switching noise ...

I've been hacking my V2 a bit in the name of improving its performance for FPV acrobatics and other aggressive flight. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for being pulled into the main line of firmware, so I thought I'd share here for anybody interested. Note that I'm more of a script kiddie th...

There are three PID controllers acting at once, there's the altitude hold controller which controls thrust, there's the rate controller which stabilizes the angular roll/pitch/yaw rates, and there's the level stabilization controller which is layered on top of the rate controller and targets a certa...

I just bought this and used some hot glue and soldering iron magic to attach it to my nano.
