Logging values

Post by governergrim »

Hello all, I am attempting to gather power measurements on the crazyflie 2.0 specifically from each motor. I set up the Logblocks to save the readings from the Motors in TOC. It is returning values from 0 - 65535. What do these numbers represent? Thanks for any input.

Hi,
From the Crazyflie you can get the motor command PWM ratio for each motors. 0 means 0% and 65535 means 100%. There is no power measurements hardware in the Crazyflie however we have done some experiment at some point to estimate the power consumption: https://wiki.bitcraze.io/misc:investigations:thrust. There has also been modelisation papers that did the same work: https://www.bitcraze.io/research/#publi ... azyflie-20.
