Re: [Video] Alternative Kinect Control (using depth images)

Just responded to your PM. Tldr; I just started a new job in a new country so I'm very very short on time these days! Sorry

Re: [VIDEO] Fully Autonomous Flight - Working Proof of Conce

Yeah I find python much mroe maintainable...and especially useful if you need to make quick code changes in the field while running experiments :) But for time critical tasks c++ just gives you more options ;) Exactly, optimisation was not a priority. Once the system is robost and happy, etc etc I w...

Re: [VIDEO] Fully Autonomous Flight - Working Proof of Conce

Yo! This is really cool. Did you use Python to develop the openCV client? Used python for the control stuff and for the client, but all the SLAM stuff is written in c++ using eigen for the linear algebra stuff. Speed is really important here, it only just runs at full speed in c++. Note the code is ...

[VIDEO] Fully Autonomous Flight - Working Proof of Concept

Hey guys! In recent posts I have mentioned I am working on a fully autonomous mode using an on-board camera. Here is a video of my first test: Fully Autonomous Hover Flight [Video Link] The controller is not used through out the whole video. The flie should hold the position it is dropped from, even...

Re: [Video] Alternative Kinect Control (using depth images)

Thanks for your input! Yup, some where I introduced some delay into tracking. Oops. Quick tests show that all the drawing is consuming most of the time. I guess I should really write a c++ application and minimize opencv drawing calls, not sure why they are taking so long in python :/ I suggest you ...

Re: Joystick instead of controller

I just got my Crazyflie today and have been using a helicopter simulator joystick. Pro Flight Trainer : Black Lynx Its a standard HID USB controller with a 12 bit controller - so lots of data points for control. I am using the collective as the Thrust, Pedals for Yaw and the Cyclic for Pitch/Roll. ...

Re: [Video] Alternative Kinect Control (using depth images)

I think I have done with the fake joy part, but I lost one of my flie when trying to change the motor holder. A new one also still not working as I have posted here . If you have any idea, please :) I hope to get it back to work ASAP. Sorry man, not sure! What is your goal with the fake joy part an...

Re: [Video] Alternative Kinect Control (using depth images)

I think I've found the cause that made the flie went away at full thrust. (I haven't updated the code to the current version, but that should not be the problem From this line (not sure if it is the same or not, as I got from the joyManager branch), the PID controller is reset each time the automat...

Re: [Video] Alternative Kinect Control (using depth images)

Glad things are working out :) /goal and /cf_xyz are independent. It doesnt matter how they are. Goal is where we want the flie to be, so we can rotate it to achieve yaw (assuming tracking & PID work ;)) To get utilization you need to update the crazyflie firmware (see the top of the readme) and...
