Re: Possible DOA Crazyflie

so you haven't tried to connect to the CR either? Not until now. I just tried that and was able to connect to the CrazyRadio and also updated to the latest firmware. @tobias - No I don't have a multimeter so I can't test the power on the USB unfortunately.

Possible DOA Crazyflie

Hello all, I just started the assembly of my crazyflie yesterday. Unfortunately mine won't even pass the power-on test.
