What do you need for flying

Here's a short list of what is needed for flying:

  • A Crazyflie quadcopter
  • A Crazyradio USB dongle
  • A PC side application for controlling the quadcopter
  • A controller for input of flight commands (joystick). Currently Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 controllers are supported out of the box, but any controller with at least 4 analog axis can be configured and used. Se the input-device page for more information.


Basic concepts

The Crazyflie is controlled from a computer using an input device such as a game controller (PS3 or Xbox 360). A USB radio dongle is used to send control data from the controller/computer to the quadcopter.
