This talk i will the learnings from my experience of programming CrazyFlie (Quadcopter) With python.

So in this talk, will look at the CODE for,

  • Interesting things of core python, required for me in application used it for a need rather than convention. (eg: realising the need for private methods
  • using Callbacks to register actions (eg: on connection / on disconnect of copter)
  • Using Voice recognition to give commands to copter
  • TCP Connection that receives for text commands
  • Basics of Machine learning (eg: Recognising Handwritten Digits), and how integrating with the drone, will make it powerful.

finally, will see the copter fly ...

Prerequisites:

  • Basic programming experience with python
  • Basic of Machine Learning, If you want to grab a gist of Machine learning (It'll be 10% of the talk though)
  • How a python application is packaged, need for CI, Tests, Linters? Think around Development in Distributed / Big Team.
  • Basic Ecosystem of python, How Virtual Environment pyenv-virtualenv
