Code functions to control a Drone using clover

Colibri Code Functions

A Python library for controlling Colibri drones using the Clover framework.

Colibri Code Functions is a collaborative project developed by the Educa Drones team. It provides a simplified and intuitive interface for programming drone operations, built on top of the Clover framework for autonomous flight control.

Overview

This project abstracts complex drone control operations into easy-to-use modules, allowing developers to focus on mission logic rather than low-level flight operations. It's designed specifically for the Colibri drone line and integrates seamlessly with the Clover ecosystem.

Features

• Camera Control - Manage drone camera operations and image capture
• Servo Control - Control servo mechanisms for camera gimbal or payload manipulation
• Drone Flight Control - Execute takeoff, landing, and autonomous flight operations
• Task Management - Structure and schedule complex drone missions

Prerequisites

Before installing Colibri Code Functions, ensure you have the following:

• Python 3.7 or higher
• The Clover Framework installed and configured
• A compatible Colibri drone (optional, but highly recommend)

Note: The Clover framework is required for this library to function properly. Please install it first following the official documentation.

Installation

Install Colibri Code Functions via pip:

pip3 install colibricf

Or, for development installation from the repository:

git clone https://github.com/EDUCA-DRONES/Colibri_CF.git
cd Colibri_CF
pip3 install -e .

Quick Start

from colibricf.drone import Drone

drone = Drone()
drone.arm()
rospy.sleep(2)
drone.navigate_wait(x=0, y=0, z=self.TAKEOFF_ALTITUDE, frame_id='body', auto_arm=True)
drone.land_wait()
