UAV Flight Controls Portfolio (C++ + Crazyflie)

This repository is a curated portfolio demonstrating:

Controls

• PID-based flight control implementation in C++

• Real UAV hardware integration using Crazyflie 2.0 + Crazyradio (Python scripts, telemetry, maneuvers)

+

Autonomy

• Autonomous Square Waypoint Mission — state-machine mission (takeoff → waypoints → landing) with simulator demo
  autonomy/square_mission/

Repository Structure

• cpp-controls/ — C++ control project (simulation/controller implementation)
• crazyflie-python/ — Crazyflie 2.0 hardware work (scripts + logs)
• autonomy/square_mission/ — state-machine mission (takeoff → waypoints → landing) with simulator demo
• docs/ — short technical notes, results, and setup

Quick Status

• FCND-Controls-CPP: completed locally ✅
• Crazyflie 2.0: assembled + connected via Crazyradio; basic maneuvers completed ✅
• Autonomy: implemented a waypoint navigation mission - the drone autonomously arms, takes off, flies a square trajectory, lands, and disarms ✅

Tech Stack

C++, CMake, Python, Crazyflie, Crazyradio
