About a year ago I started working on a Crazyflie CLI (command line interface), with the goal of having a utility for quickly doing simple interactions with the Crazyflie from the command line. Initially I was mostly interested in the console, but realized that it’s neat to also be able to check some logging variables and set some parameters as well. With the new release of the Crazyflie Rust lib I’ve also updated the cfcli to be able to access the memory subsystem, along with some other nifty updates to make it easier to use.
Below is a full list of the updates in the release:
- Improved user interface
- Use interactive selection if command line parameters are missing (like what params to set or which memory to display)
- Animation while connecting
- Added access to memory subsystem
- Raw access to memories
- Initialize, erase and display decoded information from EEPROM and 1-wire memories
- Configure the Crazyflie EEPROM (i.e set channel, address, speed etc)
- Set and get multiple parameters at once
- Generate and flash DeckCtrl configurations via debug probe
- Bumped all dependencies
If you would like to give it a try just run cargo install cfcli. Have a look at the crates page or the GitHub repository for more information and feel free to leave any suggestions or comments below. Here’s a short video showing the new interactive selection being used:
