Unmaned flight

Post by patoff »

Hi guys,

Haven't found the answer in the fourm, sorry if it's a double post.

Is it possible to program the crazyfly 2.0 with Python to fly by it's own without a someone controlling it remotely? Can a Python script told the drone to move in a particular way?
If so any of you tried adding wall detection sensor (proximity sensor arduino) ?

Thanks

P.

Is it possible? Sure! Is it easy? No, it will take work. Here's info on the Python API. Here are some example scripts.

On sensors: a few folks have played with ultrasonic sensors. Their work should help get you started. Arnaud lays out a basic workflow in this post.

Let the forums know how you get on with it. :)
