v0.1

The Crazyflie is a tiny open source picocopter/quadcopter that began as a side project by a bunch of engineers and grew to great internet acclaim via a HackADay posting in 2011.

A lot of hard and a couple years later, they were able to bring their Crazyflie open source quadcopter into mass production.

The C# CrazyradioDriver is completed and working. This library (CrazyflieDotNet.Crazyradio.dll) provides a type safe API for communication with the Crazyradio USB dongle with Crazyflies. The library and "driver" expose all available configurations for the USB dongle, including defaults. The API is quite nice and easy to understand and use, even for a beginner.
