This Python script allows you to control a Crazyflie drone using your keyboard. It is designed to provide basic movement controls such as forward, backward, left, right, up, down, and rotation.

Before you start, ensure that you have the following requirements met:

• Crazyflie drone set up and ready to connect
• The Crazyflie Python library cflib installed
• The pynput library installed to capture keyboard inputs

You can install the required Python libraries using pip:

pip install cflib pynput

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/magnaprog/crazyflie-keyboard-controller.git

2. Navigate to the cloned repository:

cd crazyflie-keyboard-controller

1. Make sure the Crazyflie drone is turned on and the Crazyradio PA USB dongle is inserted into your computer.

2. Run the script:

python keyboard_control.py

3. Once the script is running, use the following keys to control the drone:

• w: Move forward
• s: Move backward
• a: Move left
• d: Move right
• q: Rotate left
• e: Rotate right
• r: Move up
• f: Move down
• ESC: Exit the script

Ensure you have enough space to safely fly the Crazyflie drone. It's recommended to use a large, open area free from obstacles. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by using this script. Always prioritize safety and use at your own risk.
