Control the Crazyflie from a daughter board

Post by rachase »

I am working on a daughter board that hosts a search algorithm, and I would like to send control messages to the crazyflie. Right now we are using the crazyradio for flight control. Is it possible to inject control messages into the serial port of the crazyflie, basically mimicking the crazy radio? Is this message protocol defined somewhere? Also, would this be the right approach for control from a daughter board?

Yes, there is a way to communicate with the Crazyflie over one of the UART of the deck port. Support is also implemented in the crazyflie python lib that can be useful if you run Linux on your daugther board. The UART link is documented there: https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/r ... unication/
