Hi team, is it possible to send the command in terms of thrust, yaw, pitch and roll to crazyflie instead of the setposition/ set velocity function in motion commander file?

The motion commander is a wrapper around the commander class in the python library and currently it does not support pitch roll and yaw commands. However, step one level down and you can try to access the commander class yourselves to do this instead (examples/autonomousSequence.py is a good example). There you can replace the
with
If you fly the crazyflie in attitude mode from the cfclient, this is the function the cfclient uses.

I see. Thanks

Hi kimberley,

Is the send_setpoint function output the thrust inserted? When I run it, the rotor barely rotate. Will appreciate if you can share with me what I have done wrongly in my code.

Have you tried sending hardcoded thrust commands just to check that it works as intended?

Hi, I tried but when I input 65535 as the thrust, the rotor barely turns. Besides, what is the conversion between force in Newton with the 16 bits number please?

I believe this is what you are looking for.

Here is the conversion between thrust values to acceleration m/s^2,

You can then divide by the mass in kilograms to get it in Newtons.
