Flying without Flowdeck
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2020 5:33 pm
Hi! Is there a way to use the motion commander or fly my Crazyflie 2.0 using a python script without the flow deck?
To fly autonomously in a controlled manner your Crazyflie you will need some kind of position or velocity sensor. The flow deck is a velocity sensor, lighthouse, LPS and Mocaps are position sensors. I have also been experimenting with using a webcam as a very limited mocap but it requires more hacking.
Without any position or velocity sensors, the only thing I have seen being achieved using python scripts is uncontrolled hops: the Crazyflie will fly but very soon the velocity/position estimate drifts.
