Multi-Ranger Deck gives the Crazyflie 2.X the ability to detect objects around it. This is done by measuring the distance to objects in the following 5 directions: front, back, left, right and top, with millimeter accuracy up to 4 meters.
To get the most out of the Multi-Ranger, we recommend combining it with a Flow Deck V2, which will measure movement along the ground and distance from the ground. This allows the Crazyflie to sense the surrounding space and react when something approaches, such as avoiding obstacles.
It also allows it to start working on environmental awareness problems, such as Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithms.
Features
- Detection rapido and accurate detection of distances
- Absolute distance measurement up to 4 meters in 5 directions
- Safe for the eyes
