Re: Crazyflie 2.0 Backorder

That backorder is really a "pre" order. Too bad SeeedStudio doesn't mark it "preorder" instead.

Re: Callbacks added in cfheadless.py not getting called...?

Indeed that's it!! Thanks! If I force a call to self._cf.param.request_param_update("imu_sensors.HMC5883L") (ensuring it happens after param TOC finishes updating), it works. When I've got an elegant solution I'll post it back here and possibly open a pull request... Unless you've already ...

Re: Chromebook support for Crazyflie

Are you running cfheadless or the GUI client as root? You may need to be root to access the Crazyradio. You can add udev rules so you don't have to run the client as root...

[SOLVED] Callbacks added in cfheadless.py not getting called

Hi all, I've been banging my head against the wall for the greater part of yesterday and this evening trying to understand this. In cfheadless.py (line 92) there's a parameter update callback being added but I don't see that the callback function itself ever gets called . def connect_crazyflie(self,...

Re: Crazyflie Tutorial Flying

When I first started flying I found it easier to turn yaw off. I did this by setting the "id" for Yaw in my controller input config to "-1." That helped a lot since I used a mapping that had yaw set to the same stick as thrust and I wasn't very good at controlling my thumb's side...

Re: Q: What size soldering iron tip necessary?

I used this Hakko T18 series tip on my FX-888 for the motors.

So, R0.2 mm x 10.5 mm.

A possibly good, cheap, and light FPV setup...

I just saw this post on Hackaday about a very small DIY FPV camera setup for under $100USD. I haven't read through the whole article yet (the one at flitetest.com) but I'm thinking this may be a good FPV setup for the CF1.0 (and maybe 2.0 as well). Thoughts from any hardware guys in the community? I...

Re: have driver, no joy

Can you use the VM in VirtualBox to fly? Maybe if you can connect with the VM, you can verify the hardware is working right... I know nothing about Windows really, so I'm sorry I can't help with the driver issue... It would be a shame if you couldn't fly at all, given so many ways to do it...
