The Sharp InfraRed sensor I don't think will work, it gives an analog output, and the CrazyFlie IIRC doesn't have this - it does have I2C, though. The other down-side with the Infrared sensor is that it's limited to 80CM. which isn't very far. I'm using them on some robotics as a work tutorial proje...

That's some nice work. My approach has been somewhat different, I have an Arduino Uno with a modified USB Hex so a computer thinks it's a Joystick instead of a USB -> Serial. I have an old 6-channel transmitter and removed all the guts from it, and I have the pots from the sticks into analog channel...

I'd love the schematics on this, too.

I've been building my controller with a Pi & LCD Screen, the idea is to put it all into a transmitter, something like this would save me some time!

Looking forward to the code on this. In my Android client I've already increased the Roll/Pitch to 30 and Yaw to 300, though I've been flying for a while and I'm rather insane :) With these settings I can tilt the copter over at full power and it stays pretty much perfectly level, though, apparently...

At the moment, the code is very messy, I have "lcd.py" in the "lib" directory, and am making the calls from lib/cflib/crazyflie/__init__.py The problem is that at the moment, you have to be root in order to use the GPIO on the Pi, so until I've solved this I don't really want to ...

I have added a LCD Screen to my Raspberry Pi and modified the headless client to give me status messages. Here's a video of it in operation, http://youtu.be/oYb5f8sKivw , The plan is to build this into a controller and get flight mode status, etc on the screen - eventually I may switch to a full-col...
