Bitcraze Forums

Just saw this awesome article/video about the Carnegie Mellon's Robust Reactive Systems Lab that's full of crazyflies! Unfortunately it's a shame that the article makes no mention of crazyflie or bitcraze :( Congrats, though! They look awesome. Any clue what the tracking system is there? Are they us...

Sure, let me start with a couple comments which are not specific to the crazyflie: "Easy ready to fly solution": There are a handful of "RTF (ready to fly)" or "ARTF (almost ready to fly - usually everything but radio receiver)" solutions out there but they usually come...

Hey Johnny -- the crazyflie2.0+bigquad deck will mount fine with just about any frame that supports common/popular flight controllers (like the naze32). It'll work with any escs running BLheli or simonk firmware. I'm currently running a lumenier qav210 with dys 1806 motors and dys 12A escs (3s lipo ...

Hey Bitcraze -- I'm curious how the 328khz frequency was chosen for the motor driver. I'm researching this topic and not finding a ton of information, but what I'm finding suggests that motor efficiency drops off (and thrust is lost) if PWM frequency is too high, where most sources say "too hig...

Hey hittstick -- yes, a transmitter with proper gimbals/sticks will make a huge improvement. I was shocked how much better I could fly when I first moved to a real Tx (the crazyflie was my intro to the hobby -- had zero RC experience prior). I started out on the Devo7e, which does a good job for the...

Hey -- how hard do you have to push yaw & pitch to get the flip to happen? Are you flying indoors or outside? "advanced mode" in the python UI means the advanced features in the pane below are unlocked -- things like the ability to increase max angle setpoints. The copter will still be...

5 batteries for 12 bucks is probably too good to be true... I did the same thing twice (not that exact listing -- two separate ones actually). The first worked reasonably well but by 6 months all were dead (actually, one was DoA..swelled up after first use). Could have been poor discharge habits on ...

Support is now official -- changes have been merged in to the Betaflight and Cleanflight codebases (with iNav coming soon).

Hi Forum -- I'm pleased to announce preliminary support for the CF2.0 in the Betaflight FC firmware. I started working on this as part of my side project to improve stability/performance of the crazyflie. I realized I don't have a great baseline or metric to compare against, so I decided to see how ...

I recently bought a batch of these and they work very well! Good throttle response and discharge rates.
