Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter Kit 10-DOF (BC-CFK-04-A)

<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The development platform is open source so schematics and firmware/host source code is available at the Bitcraze website as well as a Wiki with design information and details on how to set up the development environment and get started. It’s designed with development in mind and has an expansion header that enables developers to expand the platform as well as good software development support. Due to it’s small size it’s perfect for developing new software and can easily be flown inside. It can lift a payload of up to 5 - 10 g.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is the 6-DOF version utilizing a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyro and thus capable of auto-leveling.</div><div><br /></div><div>A 2.4 GHz radio chip from Nordic Semiconductors is used for receiving commands and sending telemetry data back to the host computer. The communication with the host is made possible by using the Crazyradio 2.4 GHz USB radio dongle. The Crazyradio can be connected to a PC (with support for Windows and Linux) but also to other hosts that support USB Host or OTG like Android phones.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Crazyflie Quadcopter is shipped pre-programmed and can easily be wirelessly updated via a radio bootloader from a host PC, so no JTAG is required for reprogramming. For advanced development and debugging there’s also an accessible JTAG interface.</div><div><br /></div><div><font color="#ff0000">This kit requires soldering skills and is not for beginners. It is not a toy and should be handled with care.</font></div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Crazyflie features</b></div><div><ul><li>Small and lightweight, around 19g and about 90mm motor to motor</li><li>Flight time up to 7 minutes with standard 170mAh Li-Po battery</li><li>Standard micro-USB connector for charging which takes ~20min for the stock 170mAh Li-Po battery</li><li>On-board low-energy radio@1mW based on the nRF24L01+ chip.
