I ordered a Getting Started version from Bitcraze and I now see that I might need a Flowdeck as well and so I ordered that. Waiting for them to arrive.

I see the curriculum preview for the CrazyFlie bundle on DroneBlocks pages. But my list of courses in my subscription does not include a course for the CrazyFlie yet. Is that still being worked on?

I have built an ESP32 controller for the Tello and I am hoping to support the Crazyflie since the controller can use the serial port to connect to Python and then I hope to the CrazyFlie. The ESP32 controller also has Gamepad support (Xbox, PS4 and Android gamepads among others).

> I would be interested in hearing of any interest in the project available here: [https://github.com/jsolderitsch/ESP32Controller](https://github.com/jsolderitsch/ESP32Controller) The development of this was partially supported by a Tello Drone donation by DroneBlocks to Villanova University during the Summer of 2022. The ESP32 controller hardware piece is relatively inexpensive to put together using a Breadboard and some off-the-shelf parts. I also have a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) version of the hardware that I am using in some of my class…

I would like to correspond with folks who might want to explore controller hardware as well as Droneblocks
