Re: Logging Sensor Data with Python IDLE

Thanks Arnaud, The "cannot find a Crazyradio dongle" was the output from both the basiclog.py and basiclogSync.py. I managed to make it work by connecting using the URI, but yes it was strange. Something that I am not understanding is how to get sensor data during the actual flight of the ...

Logging Sensor Data with Python IDLE

Hello, I am currently trying to create a simple Python code which will instruct the Crazyflie to perform some basic flight maneuvers and store some sensor data from the flight in a separate file. I have already been able to program the flight maneuvers and am now attempting to add the data storage c...

Re: [Beginner] Help with Python Client

That solved it! My mistake, I just assumed that I would need to use the client to connect to the Crazyflie before I would be able to run Python code. Thanks for your help Arnaud!

Re: [Beginner] Help with Python Client

Good idea with the native client installation. After doing that and repeating the firmware flash, the LEDs started to behave properly and I managed to connect to the Crazyflie and receive telemetry from the gyroscope, battery, etc. The VM seems to be much more unpredictable, sometimes connecting to ...

Re: [Beginner] Help with Python Client

I am running the latest release of the Crazyflie firmware, which I downloaded from the Bitcraze GitHub as "crazyflie-2018.01". I then used the Crazyflie Client to update the firmware on the drone itself, as detailed in the "Update firmware in the Crazyflie" section of the Getting...

Re: [Beginner] Help with Python Client

Okay, I've gotten through most of the "Getting Started with Crazyflie 2.0" instruction successfully this time. However, I run into problems when I try to actually click the "Connect" button within the Crazyflie Client on the VM. I have attached a screenshot of what the window loo...

Re: [Beginner] Help with Python Client

I appreciate that you are trying to help, but I don't think I'm properly expressing what my struggle is. You are saying that I can simply 'execute the script' but it has not been that easy. Let me tell you where I am at right now. I am on the desktop of the Virtual Machine. I have clicked the icon t...

Re: [Beginner] Help with Python Client

I'd prefer to use the VM if possible, to allow more options for expanded development in the future. When following the instructions for the STEM bundle, I am unable to download the package "python3-usb". Isn't this the package which allows for communication with the radio dongle? Is there ...

[Beginner] Help with Python Client

Hello, For a class that I am taking, a team and I are responsible for demonstrating basic autonomy for a quadcopter system (following a predetermined flight path for example, but that is much further down the line than where we are right now). We have chosen the Crazyflie as our platform on which to...
