How to add a button to perform Flipping

Hi all,
I am a newbie to CrazyFlie. I am using the window 7 pc client and a Genetic USB joystick. I would like to ask how to program a flipping when I press a button ? Is there any way to assign this to a button and have it flip faster?

Hi Eric,
Currently there is no easy way to execute a flip by the press of a button.
Flipping is definitely possible, but AFAIK nobody has turned this quite complex movement into a series of commands that can be sent to the Crazyflie.
Regards

I believe flipping just from the client is actually impossible, due to the limited latency/bandwidth. However, there were people in the past who implemented the flip in the firmware here in the forum. I believe there was no source code though - just youtube videos.

There's no code, but
this post in particular gives a rough sketch of what you might need to do to accomplish fipping with the aid of a button. Admittedly, the poster is
not performing the whole flip just at a button press. The button is simply handling some of the necessary actions... I just happened to be reading this earlier today.
