Stabilization Issue with Crazyflie 2.0

Post by viswanath »

Hi ,
We are using crazyflie 2.0. we are trying to a small application to move the drone in the circle in Horizontal circle and vertical circle direction.
For that we are following the the ramp example script.

YES , we have to modify the script.
That ramp example is not making the drone to lift up. So we went to the script instead of thrust value 20K to above 30K upto 45K so that we got some moment but it is not stable and moving in its own random direction.

I go through the other posts in fourm, but i didnt get any relevant info so posted for support.

regards,
Viswanath K

Hi,

Please do not double-post your issue in different sub-forums.
I've deleted the post in the support forum.

To answer your question: The Crazyflie 2.0 does basic stabilization with it's accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer. This stabilization is not perfect and will therefore drift. Without some kind of positioning feedback loop (e.g. a (Kinect) camera, GPS, motion capturing system, SLAM, etc) it will be hard to move the Crazyflie in a pre-programmed pattern.
Please search the forum or the Crazyflie blog for information about the mentioned positioning approaches.

A very rough horizontal circle might be achievable when the altitude hold mode is used.

Regards,

Fred
