AI-deck 1.1
uper-edge-computing on a 30 gram flying platform is now available!
Thanks to the GAP8 IoT application processor from GreenWaves Technologies and the ULP camera, the Crazyflie is able to capture, analyze and classify its environment, as previously presented by ETH Zurich on the initial PULP-Shield PCB design from IIS-ETHZ. This lightweight and low-power combination opens up many research and development areas for the micro-sized Crazyflie 2.X UAV.
The AI-deck 1.1 extends the computational capabilities and will enable complex artificial intelligence-based workloads to run onboard, with the possibility to achieve fully autonomous navigation capabilities. The ESP32 adds WiFi connectivity with the possibility to stream images as well as handling control.
Important Note: Requirements for Setup
To set up and use this board, a compatible JTAG programmer/debugger is required for flashing, debugging, and restoring the bootloader. Please review the setup instructions and ensure you have the necessary accessories before purchase.
We recommend the Olimex ARM-USB-TINY-H with the ARM-JTAG-20-10 adapter.
The AI-deck 1.1 version only has minor updates compared to the AI-deck 1.0. The Himax camera module is now the greyscale version and the GAP8 is now revision C instead of B. For more details read this blog post and if the Bayer RGB version camera is wanted it can be bought stand alone here.
For full setup and technical details, please refer to the product page on our website and review all setup documentation.
