Re: Adding a camera (worklog)

I'll post some more details later today about my setup - probably on a new thread.

That is an amazing HUD! I'd love to get some details on that.

Re: Adding a camera (worklog)

Tonight I was successful in integrating the Sub-Nano camera from FPV Hobby onto the Crazyflie. I'm using their 2.4GHz receiver module and an Adafruit 4.3" LCD. Also using the Raspberry Pi headless client. Soldering the camera and transmitter wires was a bit of a task, but the result is a very t...

Re: Raspberry Pi Troubles

Just a note to anyone trying to use a Logitech, Inc. F310 Gamepad. The stock Raspian image does not include the xpad.ko module needed to get this controller working. You can find it pre-compiled here: http://bucket.changeover.za.net/xpad.ko Then load it manually using: sudo insmod xpad.ko After that...

Re: Self stabilizing using the 3-axis accelerometer?

To get your motors going, be sure and set debug=0 in the Parameter Tab! It's defaulted to 1 in Philip's newer versions for safety reasons! Rich Hi Rich, et al, All your suggestions are appreciated. I've tried setting debug=0 in the parameters tab, the motors still fail to spin. Any thoughts? If I r...

Re: [Hover Mode] Testing and setting Parameters

After flashing Phiamo's latest firmware and setting debug=0, my motors still refuse to spin. I can toggle mode and my mappings are setup. I can even see the thrust flight control widget adjusting, but the motors are still. Any ideas?

Perhaps I'll recompile with debug=0.

Re: Self stabilizing using the 3-axis accelerometer?

I'd love to get this running here. My trouble is that after flashing Phiamo's latest firmware and running his PC client, my CF's motors won't spin at all. I've mapped my xbox360 controller with RB as Hover Enable and RT as Hover Adjust, and the client correctly reads these and receives telemetry, bu...

Re: Raspberry Pi Troubles

Nevermind. Turns out my radio:// URI had a lower-case 'k' instead of upper-case 'K'.

(I might point out that correct engineering notation uses lower-case k for kilo :) )

Re: Raspberry Pi Troubles

Hey, I'd love to get cfheadless working on my Pi, but it seems to hang when trying to establish comms: Info: Using config path: /home/pi/crazyflie-pc-client/lib/../conf Info: sys.path= ['/home/pi/crazyflie-pc-client/lib', '/home/pi/crazyflie-pc-client/lib/../conf', '/home/pi/crazyflie-pc-client/bin'...

Re: Stable flight problem

Yes, all of the above. I'm also using a xbox controller. I have not tried a PS3 controller, but I can say that the xbox controller requires a delicate touch. Although, with that in mind, it does fly quite nice. Find an large room to practice in. Also make sure you set your controller mappings and st...
