Hello! I want to apply on board sensor which requires 6 volt power supply. So, there is any way to power on crazyflie 2.0 from 7.4 Volt. I tried to look for any 7.4 - 3.7 dc converter without luck. Need any advice!

The CF2 consumes up to 4A in bursts (1.8A hovering) so I'm not sure how well a step down DC/DC converter will work from 7.4V down to 4V. I would in that case go the other way around from VBAT (5.5-3V) to 6V with a step up.
