DESCRIPTION

Crazyflie 2.1 is the latest version of the successful Crazyflie development platform. It only weighs 27g and fits in the palm of your hand. Crazyflie 2.1 is equipped with low-latency/long-range radio as well as BLE. This gives you the option of downloading the app and using your mobile device as a controller or, in combination with the Crazyradio PA, using your computer to display data and fly with a game controller. It's ideal for education, research, and swarming.

  • Wireless and multi-platform Support: It supports wireless firmware updates and enables flying from iOS and Android via Bluetooth LE, as well as from Windows/Mac OSX/Linux using the Crazyradio or Crazyradio PA.
  • Advanced power management solution: On-board charging via standard USB, the dual MCU architecture with dedicated radio/power management SoC is suitable for advanced applications.
  • Data reliability enhancement: The drone supports expansion decks with automatic detection, and when used with a Crazyradio or Crazyradio PA and a computer, it can also real-time logging, graphing and variable setting
  • 1km+ radio range LOS: Tested to further than 1 km radio range line-of-sight (LOS) with the Crazyradio PA for suitable for indoor human-computer interaction tasks
  • Durable & compact design: Only weighs 27g and no soldering is required which allows it to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and is easy to assemble.

The latest version of the successful Crazyflie development platform comes with improved flight performance, durability, and radio. Together with an extensive ecosystem of software and deck expansions, it's ideal for education, research, and swarming.

Crazyfly 2.1 is designed to be as flexible as possible. This meant adding as many features as users could fit and writing firmware made to be modified. In addition to the default functionality that comes with the Crazyflie 2.1, it added a flexible expansion interface where a variety of expansion decks can be attached, both on the top and the bottom of the Crazyflie 2.1. From this expansion interface the user can access buses such as UART, I2C and SPI as well as PWM, analog in/out and GPIO.

FAQ:

1. Which mobile devices work with the Crazyflie 2.X?

Here is a list of requirements for the mobile device:

  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or sometimes called Bluetooth Smart support.
  • Runs Android 4.4 or newer
  • Runs iOS 7.1 or newer

2. Is the Crazyflie 2.0 still supported?

Yes, the Crazyflie 2.0 is still supported with the same firmware and PC software as the Crazyflie 2.1

3. For how long can the Crazyflie 2.X fly?

It can fly up to 7 minutes and depending on how you fly it, the time will decrease.

4. How is the Crazyflie 2.X charged?

It is charged using a standard micro-USB connector commonly used by smartphones. You probably have one of these cables at home. You can charge it from any USB unit that can supply 500mA, most computers and adapters do. It takes up to 40min to charge and the blue LED (M3) will tell you roughly how charged it is by how long it is lit. When it is fully lit it is fully charged.
