-====== Flying the Crazyflie with the Leapmotion ======
-There's a quick hack for flying the Crazyflie with the Leapmotion in the [[https://bitbucket.org/bitcraze/crazyflie-pc-client|Crazyflie PC client repo]] on the ''dev-leapmotion'' branch. It's just a quick test so far so it's a bit glitchy and only works for Linux (but this could easily be changed).
-**Please note:** This is VERY experimental so be careful!
-====== What you need ======
-A Crazyflie, a Leapmotion and you need to download the SDK for Linux from the [[https://developer.leapmotion.com/dashboard|Leapmotion devevloper site]] (yes, you have to register..).
-====== How to get it working ======
-  * Download the SDK for Linux and unpack it
-  * Install the leap-*.deb packet that fits (64/32-bit)
-  * Plug you leap motion and orient it so that the connector is on your right side
-  * Start up the leap motion daemon by issuing the following command
-<code>
-sudo leapd
-</code>
-  * Clone the crazyflie-pc-client repository and switch to the ''dev-leapmotion'' branch
-<code>
-hg clone https://bitbucket.org/bitcraze/crazyflie-pc-client
-hg update dev-leapmotion
-</code>
-  * Start the normal client
-<code>
-cd crazyflie-pc-client/bin
-./cfclient
-</code>
-  * You shouldn't run any input device config (it's not working) and don't select any mapping
-  * Don't connect to the Crazyflie yet! First try out the controls and watch the UI to see how they work. Move the hand up/down to increase/decrease thrust, tilt it front/back for pitch and left/right for roll and rotate you hand (around the Z axis) for yaw. The Crazyflie will move according to you hand, so leading your hand front and left will lean the Crazyflie front and left
-  * Fly :-)
-In order to minimize the risk of accidental flying the orientation is only read when 4 or more fingers are detected. If the Crazyflie just drops out of the air it's probably because of this. So making a fist with your hand during flight will make the Crazyflie drop :-)
-====== Tweaking ======
-Have a look in the ''crazyflie-pc-client/lib/cfclient/utils/leapreader.py'' file.
