Thanks for joining!

I have some followup info for some of the questions:

• The issue of the crazyflie not keeping a larger distance from the wall, I've made an issue for that here: wall follower bug crazyflie-lib-python#435
• How to sniff CRTP packets in air. This is not possible with a Crazyradio PA but it is with a BBC microbit or to turn one of the crazyflies into a sniffer:
  • microbit board: https://forum.bitcraze.io/viewtopic.php?p=19111&hilit=microbit#p19111
  • Crazyflie sniffer as part of the decentralized swarm example: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-firmware-experimental/blob/icra-2023/examples/demos/decentralized_swarm/src/sniffer.c
• Control the crazyflies as a swarm:

  • step by step guide for beginners: https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/repository/crazyflie-lib-python/master/user-guides/sbs_swarm_interface/
  • Crazyswarm2 project to control with ROS2: https://github.com/IMRCLab/crazyswarm2
• About our roadmap with the crazyradio that is in the pipeline:
  • Blogpost by arnaud: https://www.bitcraze.io/2023/01/crazyradio-2-0/
  • Presentation by arnaud at the microros group: https://youtu.be/yJZ7TiPK7gU?feature=shared
  • Perhaps an alternative way of controlling the crazyflie (other than bluetooth) is wifi: https://www.bitcraze.io/2022/09/using-the-ai-deck-for-crtp-over-wifi-via-cpx/. Currently we only have the aideck with wifi but we are thinking about prototypes of a wifi only deck that might be a good option.
