Re: Add-ons!
Great suggestions. We will, as soon as we get time, do a simple model of the Crazyflie board and upload to the repository. KiCad is a bit time consuming doing stuff like this though...

Re: GPS receiver extension
GPS would be a really neat option. I'm a bit worried that the NAVIGATRON module might weigh a bit to much and I can't find it specified. Another aspect is that it would be good if the GPS module could run from 2.8V. It is possible to configure the Crazyflie to run on 3.3V instead but it is not recom...

Re: Using an Apple Trackpad for controlling
I'll give the explaing a shot with some reservation for being wrong. The python function within the Crazyflie class lookes like this def sendControlSetpoint(self, roll, pitch, yaw, thrust) roll, pitch should be floating point numbers in degrees where 0 would be level. yaw should be a floating point ...

Re: Larger battery? 340mHa (plus 1 gram camera)
Changing battery shouldn't be a problem but I'm not so sure your suggested battery will work that well. They state: 10. Continous discharging current: 340mA 11. Discharging Current (Max. ): 680mA The Crazyflie consumes 1400mA only when hovering. So to get good flight performance you need a >15C pref...

Re: Using an Apple Trackpad for controlling
Great, I think we have our first community development started. I'm not the python and PC expert so I hope Arnaud or Marcus will jump in. I know Arnaud quickly tested the cfclient on OSX but had problems with the joystick driver. Other then that I think it worked pretty easily. Implementing what you...

Re: Aerobatics
This is on the wishlist and should be implemented pretty soon either by us or someone else joining the community, the power of open source. This mode you are talking about I think is referred to as assisted acrobatic mode. We could also implement a rate controlled mode that allows even more aggressi...

Re: I want to add a camera
I assume you are referring to the key chain camera? Please have a look at blog post http://www.bitcraze.se/2012/10/another-key-chain-camera-hack/ The weight of the camera is about as much as the Crazyflie can handle so the key chain camera needs to be stripped down as much as possible. We removed th...

Re: Power Usage
We have not been able to accurately measure the power usage when hovering but it is around 5W. The battery weight is about 5g and the payload capability is 5-10g where 5g do not affect the performance that much and 10g is the maximum with very degraded performance. The payload capability without bat...
