 ====== Crazy RealTime Protocol ====== ====== Crazy RealTime Protocol ======
 The protocol used to communicate with the Crazyflie is called the Crazy RealTime Protocol, or CRTP in short. It's a simple protocol mainly designed to suit the radio chip used on the Crazyflie but the protocol can also be used on other physical links. The protocol used to communicate with the Crazyflie is called the Crazy RealTime Protocol, or CRTP in short.

 +<code>
 +0xaa 0xaa 0x30 0x0e 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x3e

 +To ping Crazyflie:
 +<code>
 + ->   0xaa 0xaa 0xf0 0x01 0x01 0xf2     # Sent to the copter 
 + <  0xaa 0xaa 0xf0 0x01 0x01 0xf2     # Received from the copter
