I’ve set up a workspace with a package called crazyflie_description, which contains the URDF model of the Crazyflie.

I created two launch files:

One for visualizing the URDF in RViz along with the joint_state_publisher_gui, so I can move the sliders to test whether the joints are working correctly.

Another launch file that spawns the Crazyflie into Gazebo Harmonic.
