Crazyflie CLI

This is a command line interface (CLI) for the Bitcraze Crazyflie written in Rust. It's intended to be used during development to easily log the console, set parameters and get logging variables. It's not intended to be used from any scripts to make the Crazyflie do things, then using the Crazyflie python library is preferred.

Installation

If you would like to install the cli for general use use the following command:

cargo install cfcli

Usage

To see how to use the CLI type cfcli in your terminal and you will get the following help message:

Crazyflie command-line client

Usage: cfcli [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands:
  log      Access to the log subsystem
  param    Access to the parameter subsystem
  scan     List the Crazyflies found while scanning (on the selected address)
  select   Scan for Crazyflies and select which one to save for later interactions
  console  Print the console text from a Crazyflie
  help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -a, --address <ADDRESS>  Specify address [default: E7E7E7E7E7]
  -h, --help               Print help
  -V, --version            Print version

To use the CLI you must first select which URI to use, this is done by scanning for available Crazyflies and selecting the one you prefer.

cfcli select

If you have a Crazyflie on a different address than the default you can specify it using the -a flag:

cfcli -a E7E7E7E7E7 select 

Now this URI will be used in all commands until a new one is selected. For instance a parameter can be set using the following command:

cfcli param set motorPowerSet.enable 1

And a log variable can be printed using the following command:

cfcli log print stabilizer.roll 100

Development

If you would like to run it from source use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/evoggy/cfcli.git
cd cfcli
cargo run -- <args>

For example:

cargo run -- select
