[Solved] Re: CF Bolt - Unstable takeoff
I ended up fixing the issue. The solution was to set motorpowerSet/enable = 1 and manually set and tune motorPowerSet/m1 to m4 to a decent value that cause the motors to spin up but not take off, and then disable motorPowerSet/enable and immediately go right into takeoff. I'm guessing that initially...

[Solved] CF Bolt - Unstable takeoff
I have been having takeoff issues with my crazyflie bolt drone. I've already made a post - https://forum.bitcraze.io/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5026&p=23020#p23020 to try and solve similar issues The issue from before has only gotten worse - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMuNeoyRv7k The drone can...

Re: Crazyflie Bolt - Unstable flight
Tobias, I finally fixed the issue and your intuitions were correct.
The external ESC on the overall build must have been burnt out because when I swapped out the ESC that was causing the motor to spin early, the problem went away.
Thank you for your help and leading me down the correct path.

Re: Crazyflie Bolt - Unstable flight
I also agree that its likely the ESC values that are being sent to the motor that is spinning up early; 1. From cfclient, the IMU seems to be working properly on screen 2. Too much vibration would have been an issue during the "Stable Flight" that was performed only about a month ago

Re: Crazyflie Bolt - Unstable flight
I am trying to understand what you mean when you say " verify this by setting manual PWM values with motorPowerSet parameter group and comparing with each other" My question is how do you set PWM range values manually? and what is the PWM input range normally? From looking at a few other f...

[Solved] Crazyflie Bolt - Unstable flight
I have been developing a drone system that makes use of the Crazyflie bolt for a flight controller. I have properly tuned the drone's PID parameters within the firmware and in the past, I have been able to perform stable flights as seen in the "Stable Flight" video. Fast forward about a mo...

Re: Controlling Yaw Autonomously
I was able to get stable yawing today with full pose messages. The issue was 100% the "LocExtQuatStdDev" value and I ended up setting it to 0.04. Its very surprising how much of an effect that value had on angles around +/- 90 degrees and how much better the UAV flies with the updated para...

Re: Controlling Yaw Autonomously
I ended up figuring it mostly out. The GoTo command was only checking for if x, y, and z are within a tolerance and not Yaw. Right now, I can control yaw but if its anything more than a 15 degree change, it spirals out of control. I believe it to be an issue with the PID and I need to tune some of t...

Re: Controlling Yaw Autonomously
Thank you for the fast response! I had my Github repository set to private and I just made it public. I believe that the Qualisys script I am using (the third link from my original post) does and adequate job at generating data from the cameras. As for the command method, I am indeed using something...
