Autonomous Flying with Crazyflie

Post by guido »

Hi all,
I am new in the forum and in the topic. I would like to program one or more Crazyflie in order to perform repeatable trajectories indoor. For example:
- Take off from the center of a sport arena (indoor)
- Each drone goes to one of the corners of the arena
- The drones land
- The drones come backs at the origin
Everything programmed, no manual flight.

How could I implement this ?
Thanks for helping! :)

With lots of work.

This is a goal that sounds simple but you'll quickly find is complex.

You'll need to make the drone know where it is in space to accomplish this. It's not like a wheeled robot where you can tell it to roll 3 meters, turn 90 degrees, roll 5 meters, etc...

Look into local positioning systems or optical tracking and then get started coding.
