Re: INDI Controller Outer + Inner loop problems

Haha sorry. I know the other implementation is on the parrot Bebop. For what I can find know it seems to be a mix of filtering cutoff frequency and the inner loop gains, that cause some instability in the inner loop. Some other points, the consistency in units is a bit lacking. When the inner loop i...

Re: INDI Controller Outer + Inner loop problems

Thanks! Ah you mean the control effectiveness parameters from the inner loop. Yes for my thesis my supervisor is Ewoud Smeur, thus I can ask anything I do not understand from the INDI to him. For the rest thanks for helping! The parameters used in the filtering of the angular acceleration need to be...

Re: INDI Controller Outer + Inner loop problems

Hi Andre, Thanks for the response. What exactly do you mean with the calibration processes? Greetings Max Hi, Max. The INDI controller was implemented a while ago, and honestly we used it in only one application. This is only the second time someone reaches to talk about it, which is definitely a go...

INDI Controller Outer + Inner loop problems

Dear all, For my thesis I need to use the implemented INDI controller, both outer and inner loop. On the crazyflie 2.1 I have the flowdeck 2.1 and the multiranger attched. The only problem I experience is an unstable controller. For commanding the drone I use the python library with the following co...

Re: How to obtain thrust from PWM

Hi I have a question. I have calculated the thrust via the formula provided in the paper and the signal logging of pwm.m1_pwm (the motor pwm compensated for battery voltage). This is the blue line seen in the graph. The orange line is using the accelerometer data from the body z-axis and uses f=m*a ...

Re: How to obtain thrust from PWM

Thanks!!!

Yes I have the crazyflie 2.1.

Ah I see the explanation of the formula is few pages later (read past it, so was not sure what the formula meant).

No if this works I will not be needing it.

Thanks a lot for the quick answers it really helped me!

Greetings
Max

Re: How to obtain thrust from PWM

Thanks for the answer. What I need for my controller is the ratio between command applied (thrust command) and the actual measured thrust. For now I wanted to do this in the following manner. Using the accelerometer data (z-axis), and then using the simple relationship f=m*a to gather measured thrus...

How to obtain thrust from PWM

Dear all, I am developing a controller based of the INDI such that the crazyflie will be able to fly close to the ceiling or other flight boundaries (For my MsC thesis). For this I now need an estimate of the thrust that will be produced under a certain PWM signal. What I now got is a logging script...

Re: Thrust Modelling of Crazyflie

Thanks Whoenig.

This will definitely help. I know that the Crazyflie has some mapping from thrust to pwm. As I am now modeling some stuff in Simulink I can skip that step and just use rpm to thrust as mapping.

Thrust Modelling of Crazyflie

Hii everyone I have a small question. For my thesis work I am working on a simulink model for some testing and experimenting. Most of the dynamic models I find make use of the following method to determine thrust: T = k*w^2 (thrust equals constant times rpm squared). My question is the following, al...
