- Product Details
- Description
Loco Positioning Deck is a Tag in the Loco Positioning system and measures the distance to the Anchors. The distances are used to estimate the absolute position of the Crazyflie 2.X within the room, allowing for autonomous flight.
Note: This product is intended to be used in conjunction with Loco Positioning Nodes and cannot be used alone.
Features
- Measures distances to the Anchors of the Loco Positioning Node
- 4 status LEDs
Use
Go to the Loco Positioning System tutorial to configure the Loco Positioning System. Afterwards, you can try the flight tutorial based on Loco Positioning.
For more general information on how the Loco Positioning System integrates into the Bitcraze ecosystem, see the Positioning Systems Overview page.
Development
Firmware Implementation.
All Loco positioning is estimated on board the Crazyflie. Go to the Loco Positioning System technical documentation to understand how it is implemented in Crazyflie firmware and Loco Positioning Node firmware.
It is important to have a good understanding of the Crazyflie's stabilizer module, especially the state estimation using the Extended Kalman Filter.
The package contains: 1 x Loco positioning deck - Bitcraze
