Re: The easiest and best Controller

I'm partial to the PS3 controller since I've been using it ever since we flew the first Crazyflie prototype. The PS4 is also good, but I'm not a big fan of the original Xbox controller (haven't tested the other ones). The analog axis is stiff and not centered when you release the sticks, but that c...

Re: Crazyflie 2.0 feedback

I flipped my battery around, butted it up against the uUSB port, twisted the battery-end of the cable a little, then positioned the cable around the side of the battery. I think the battery orientation helped overall stability as well. It does interfere with the power button a bit but I can still g...

Re: Crazyflie 2 board fails POST out of box.

Hi Tobias, It's understandable, I was super disappointed though as I'd just received it and planned to spend my Christmas break messing with it! I've sent in a support request to Seeedstudio citing this thread and describing the problem, hopefully it'll get sorted out quickly so I might actually get...

Re: Crazyflie 2 board fails POST out of box.

Ouch... This is happening to me too. Doesn't happen all the time it seems. I'm able to tap it a few times and move the battery sometimes to fix it. After a jostle or rough landing though it becomes quite unable to do anything other than flip and repeatedly attempt to connect via radio. Boot Log Whil...
