bitcraze/crazyflie-firmware

The main firmware for the Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter, Crazyflie Bolt Quadcopter and Roadrunner Positioning Tag.

What it solves

It provides the core operating software (firmware) required to control and operate the Crazyflie range of nano-quadcopters, including the Crazyflie 2.x and Roadrunner platforms.

How it works

The project contains the source code that is flashed onto the drone's hardware to manage flight control, stability, and platform-specific operations.

Who it’s for

Developers and researchers who want to customize the flight behavior, add new features, or modify the low-level control systems of Crazyflie drones.

Highlights

  • Support for multiple platforms including Crazyflie 2.x and Roadrunner.
  • Comprehensive API documentation available via the toolbelt.
  • Integrated unit testing framework for contributions.
