Flow Deck enables the Crazyflie 2.X to detect its own movements in any direction. The VL53L1x ToF sensor measures distance to the ground with high accuracy, while the PMW3901 optical sensor measures ground motion.
This allows the drone to be transformed into a 3D flying robot, which can be pre-programmed to travel distances in any direction or used as a beginner's mount, providing a very stable flight platform.

Development
Firmware Integration.
Flow deck provides optical flow and height measurements that are merged into the Extended Kalman Filter of the Crazyflie firmware.
Hardware Hack
Light painting with the Flow deck along with the LED-ring deck has been implemented. Take a look at the project on hackster.io.
