Writing custom on-board controller in firmware

I wanted to write my own low-level controller in the Crazyflie firmware but thought it would be good if a few questions can be clarified before I get started. It seems like stabilizer.c is where I should be looking to understand how state estimates and desired states are used to directly control the...

Re: My off-board position control

I'm replying to a very old thread, but I wanted to say that it's great to see that off-board control is possible. However, there might also be a slightly simpler hybrid approach to getting a LQ-based controller to work with the Crazyflie. I'm in a similar boat at the moment, as I wrote a C++ based L...

Crazyflie not charging

I setup my Crazyflie with the STEM ranging bundle last night, and tested out the flow deck v2 and multi-ranger functionality which worked nicely. However, after charging it up a few times (for about 40 minutes each time) and putting it in a hover, I noticed that the flight time was quite short. Doin...
