During a crazyflie dogfight, a prop of the other quadcopter hit my quad in an unfortunate way, completely breaking off the tiny on/off switch. Now I can't switch the quad on anymore :o I might be able to with a small pin or something, but I haven't found one yet. 2014-05-12 01.35.27_cropped.jpg Any ...

I couldn't find much people talking about flying the crazyflie with a flightsimultator-style joystick, even though to me it seems like a cool way to fly. I was just wondering if anyone has tried this and if it is works well, before I buy one. If so, what brand and type of joystick are you using? Is ...

I guess that would be possible. I would add two button options to the controller config screen. When pressing one button, send the max yaw angle value to the quadcopter. Make it a negative value for the second button, to rotate the other way.

Ok, I removed the old video and made a new one. Also tried some double and tripples, but that didn't work out very well yet :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnlYRWUVIqs Still had no time to work on a smarter flip feature using the sensors. Will attempt that soon. That combined with a mini state ma...

The flipping is just beautiful! So the path is fully controlled from the computer? It might be the fist step to a rough path following functionality :D. Is it OK if we share the video? It is currently set as unlisted. No its much more simple than that. I setup the A button to override the throttle ...

Def cool! It would be awesome to fully automate it, eg using "enough" vertical acceleration (and assuming one was flying smoothly/hovering before) to trigger the right behaviour. How accurate is the attitude estimate during the flip? I'm not sure yet. I'm now finishing up a basic flip pur...

For anyone who also finds this cool, here is a short video showing some flips... made on a typical Friday afternoon at the office :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtkUCm8bWCg Very easy to implement and quite fun and reliable! All flips in the clip are performed after each other; I didn't have to c...

Just dusting off an old topic here: Is anyone still attempting this? Or has programmed this? I also just started testing with flipping and got some promising results after just one evening of editing the pc client (even though it was my first day programming in python). I think the crazyflie can do ...

How do I measure the VCC voltage? I'm a software developer, but don't know much about hardware and electronics yet :) But it seems like a a possibility, though the battery status in the client seems to be accurate. 300ms and 500ms timeouts seem to work well for me, since I'm flying quite aggressivel...

I'm sorry Marcus, this was completely my fault. I tried to flash the newest firmware, but only used the bigger Program button under the right block in the bootloader. So I never flashed the actual firmware, only pushed the settings on the right to the crazyflie. Used the correct button this time and...
