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