New basic python programs to control and log the crazyflie

[eldraco]

Hi list.

I was trying to start developing in python to control the crazyflie, but unfortunately the current examples, including the wiki (http://wiki.bitcraze.se/projects:crazyf ... tils:pylib), are outdated because they use the old API.

So I create/modify (taking parts of others) two simple example python programs. The fist logs the accelerometer, barometer and stabilizer. The second tests the motors. Both use the new API (up to commit 5bffd5d8f311).

Hope they help to start developing!

Great and thanks for the contribution! We will update the examples as soon as we can.

It would be great if someone would make the existing python scripts python 3.x aware. Should be easy using 2to3.

Good idea. I've created an issue for this so we don't forget about it.

Great! We have had problems with the API/example getting out of sync before as well. I've created an issue for placing them in the crazyflie-pc-client repo instead. If you would like you can create a pull-request for placing the examples in an example dir in the root. Not sure how to keep you as the author otherwise.

Ok, I will do a pull-request and put the code there.

I will also make them python3 compatible and maybe simplify them.

It is good idea to have people collaborate with more example code.

cheers
