Python library to communicate with the Crazyflie™
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:5 reviews, 35 commits, 11 PRs in 6 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Marcus primarily contributed to the Python library for communicating with the Crazyflie, a small quadcopter. Their work focused on improving the radio communication aspects, including fixing connection issues and adding examples that leverage the Crazyflie's deck functionalities, like the multi-ranger deck, for push interactions and sensor data visualization. Further, the user implemented the CPX (communication protocol extension) driver and its usage, including modifications to the serial driver to leverage the new communication method, and also refined the disconnection processes within the communication stack.
