Re: Completely Autonomous Flight

Hi everyone, I'm really sorry—I've been extremely busy and completely forgot about this thread. I was actually selected as a Google Science Fair Regional Finalist (90 in the world) and a Computer Science Award nominee (15 in the world) for this project! I posted more details (along with links to a v...

[Project] Autonomous bio-inspired escape with the Crazyflie

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a recent robotics project that I did based on the Crazyflie. From a high level, I explored mimicking how fruit flies detect and respond to moving threats like swatters for lightweight and onboard threat evasion in a quadcopter, with the ultimate goal of making flight (...

Re: Accessing analog sensor data through Python API

Hi Marcus,

Thanks, though I had already found that and was looking more for some examples of the type of firmware modificaitons that I would have to do. No worries, though, as I've found what I need; I was able to add the reading/logging into the ADC task.

Thanks again!

Completely Autonomous Flight

Hi, I'm using the Crazyflie for a research project. I've already made the necessary hardware and firmware modifications, and I wrote a Python program to control the Crazyflie autonomously. Essentially, I'm checking the values of two analog sensors (attached to the Crazyflie, currently done throught ...

Accessing analog sensor data through Python API

Hi, I'm trying to use an analog distance sensor with my CrazyFlie. For reference, it's a Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F sensor. Would it be possible for me to access the sensor data (from the ADC pins on the expansion header) through the Python API? I'm thinking I would need to add a log variable--how would I s...
