This is an old revision of the document!


Early access Currently this product is in early access. Basically we have finalized and tested the hardware but the software it still considered beta.

System overview

The local positioning system is based on the DecaWave DWM1000 module. The system consists of a number of anchors that's continuously pinged from the Crazyflie 2.0 deck that's based on the same module. The anchors are placed around the room at known positions (for now).

Our testsystem uses the following components:

  • 6 anchors (with power cables) using this 3D printed stand
  • 1 deck
  • Computer running ROS (Indigo) using the Crazyflie ROS module
  • Crazyflie client with ZMQ to mix manual and automatic control

Here's a video of the current state (March 2016).

Hardware description

The hardware consists two parts, nodes and decks.
