Your cart is empty.The Crazyflie 2.0 is a versatile flying development platform that only weights 27g and fits in the palm of your hand. It's advanced functionalities makes it ideal for developers and the Bluetooth LE capabilities makes it easy to fly from mobile devices. With it's small size and weight it's ideal for indoor use, but you can just as easily hover above your house as you can hover under your diningroom table. Designed as a solderless kit, the Crazyflie 2.0 is quickly assembled by attaching the motors to the circuitboard frame and it's ready to fly.
The Crazyflie 2.0 is an open project, with source code and hardware design available and documented. The platform is designed with development in mind, implementing features to make development easier and faster, such as logging and real-time parameter setting and wireless firmware update. Aside from the firmware and software projects, there is also a number of community supported APIs written in Java, Ruby, C/C++, C# and Javascript. For anyone interested in doing more advanced development there is a development adapter kit that supports easy JTAG/SWD connection to both of the MCUs on the Crazyflie 2.0.
Supporting multiple radio protocols, the Crazyflie 2.0 can be used from a Bluetooth LE enabled mobile device or from a computer using the Crazyradio or Crazyradio PA. While flying from a mobile device works great, the real power of the platform is unlocked by connecting it to a computer using the Python client that's a available for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. This enables you to fully use all the expansion boards, to easily trim flying parameters, graphically log data and set parameters. When connected to a computer, you also get the added benifit of being able to use any gamepad or joystick with at least 4 analog axis for flying.

Cheaply constructed. The USB connect easily fell off the first time I went to plug in the micro USB cable and now the drone is rendered useless.

I bought this for students to build. It is very small yet they were able to put it together quickly. Overall I was disappointed with the quality and size of the materials, plus the lack of instructions (they are available online). I expected much more for the price and was underwhelmed by this purchase. It seems like something that would be sold for $10 or less.There is a phone app that enables you to pilot the drone. They have not been able to get the drone to fly, but the lack of clear instructions does not make this suitable as a teaching tool. I will need to take it apart myself to figure out what went wrong.

Nice platform. Was missing one of the short header so I had to arrange ie strap to keep the battery in place. Should have better QA.Would be nice to have a windows environment to play with

This is a quadcopter for learn and research not for play because there are so many cheap mini drone cost for like $20

Fantastic little starter quadcopter that was easy to put together and is tremendously fun to fly.After following the instructions on assembling this kit (found on the website provided on the inside lid of the box it came in) I was immediately able to connect to it using my iPhone (and a free app provided by the company) and was off and slamming in to things in no time at all. After adjusting to the flight controls from my phone, I decided to boot up my PC and get the software for flying this with my Crazyradio (not included, it's a separate purchase that I'll review later, but is an excellent investment).After some finagling getting a PS3 controller to connect to my PC, I booted up the software package for the Crazyflie and was able to customize the controls to my liking (mainly changing the yaw from Right Stick Left and Right to L2 and R2). I'd definitely recommend flying this copter with a crazyradio and a controller. While things control smoothly with a phone app and touch screen the precision and long term hovering I was able to achieve with the PS3 controller was really quite phenomenal.Regarding durability: So far I've slammed this thing into every wall in my house as well as my tile floors and it's stood up incredibly well. My large boston coon cat at one point freaked out when the drone flew too close to it (my fault there) and hit it hard enough to send one of the motors flying off of the crazyflie and across the room. Distraught at what I assumed would have been a tragedy, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the motor and plastic attachment (as well as the wires) were all in tact and still worked beautifully.While I don't recommend getting this thing anywhere near your own cats (or any living creature for that matter. Safety first folks) the kit does include quite a few extra parts should anything go wrong. You get one extra motor (which actually surprised me), a handful of extra propellers and two extra motor mounts (the little clear plastic parts immediately underneath the motor that attach to the PCB). These last parts are essential, and honestly I do wish the kit had come with more of these as a replacement, as I've already broken one of them (nothing that a little bit of tape or glue honestly couldn't fix) but I imagine that I'll need to replace these regularly, especially as I begin some coding experiments with it and it inevitably crashes around my house.Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and can't wait to start using it in conjunction with a kinect to do all sorts of fun things. I imagine if coding around this goes well I'll likely buy one or two (or three) more to start experimenting with formation flight programming.I'll update this review with some videos and further updates as my personal projects with the copter progress.
