Use crazyflie 1.0 with ROS

Hi,

Which firmware version am I supposed to use crazyflie 1.0 with ROS? Because I am using the firmware from 2016.02 and I am not receiving any data from the crazyflie when I add it to a server and starts rviz or rqtplot.

The latest version (or even 2016.02) should work, since the protocol did not change significantly. What is not working - logging sensor data or teleoperation?

Thanks for the reply. Logging sensor data is not working.

Now I am able to log sensor data and use cmd_vel. I want to control the crazyflie 1.0 via PC without using a controller (PS or XBOX) and using only the onboard sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope and barometer), is that possible using ROS and crazyflie 1.0?

Thanks in advance.

No, the Crazyflie will drift without any feedback. On CF 2.0 that is possible with the flow-deck for short periods. On CF 1 you will need some feedback (motion capture or camera).

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for my ignorance, but by saying "drift" what do you mean specifically? Assuming that the attitude control works properly.
