Crazyflie fails after connecting 3 boards

After attaching 3 boards to a Crazyflie 2.0 using the Crazyflie 2.X Long Header Kit (The Flow Deck, the LPS Deck, and the Multi-ranger) all attempts at flight result in the error below, the central component of which seems to be that too many packets are lost. Even after the boards were removed, all...

High Level Commander Questions

Hello, I've been working with the Motion Commander to fly my CFs with a fair amount of success, but need to convert my code to use the HL Commander instead. I had some difficulties, though, and wanted to ask for pointers on how to set up the HL Commander to receive inputs midway through a flight - f...

Re: Logging data without an SD Card

Sorry to dredge this back up - I've been a bit stubborn about continuing to use the motion commander for my swarm (and single drone) flights, and for the most part, it has been able to do everything I need it to. Logging, swarm flight, etc - but the one issue I've not yet been able to crack is inter...

Re: LPS + Flow Deck flies worse than just the Flow Deck

Posting back here to update: when pointed in the correct direction, the Flow deck + LPS deck drones fly well! It seems a little less stable than the drones that only use the flow deck, but it remains within the 10 cm tolerance, and is worth it for the added functionality of understanding its positio...

Re: Logging data without an SD Card

Ah, thank you! I was able to work out how to log while flying a swarm, but I did so using the motion commander, so I may attempt to rebuild it using the High Level Commander if that's the better tool for these purposes.

Re: Crazyflies identifying other Crazyflies?

Alright, I think I'm understanding. From what you're saying and the linked documents, it seems like I should be able to use the P2P functionalities in python code, so long as I use two Crazyradios?

Re: Crazyflies identifying other Crazyflies?

Thanks for the input! If it seems like there's little hope of detecting the other drones visually (and I have to agree with you, the more I tinker with the Multiranger the less I think this is possible) then the P2P system would be a fine substitute. I definitely think I could make the functionality...

Re: Logging data without an SD Card

This worked, thank you! I've been constructing plots of my flights, and was now wondering if I could extend this to swarms? The examples of swarm flight all seem to use the High Level Commander rather than the MotionCommander, and feature long sleep times, so I wasn't certain how best to collect dat...

Re: LPS + Flow Deck flies worse than just the Flow Deck

You're absolutely right! I'd forgotten one of the more basic rules, and had been starting my CFs pointed in all different directions. I'll make a few flights and see if the drift remains.

Re: Errors in multiranger_pointcloud.py

Yep, thanks for pointing me to the right place. I've posted there sharing my updates, but I also haven't solved it yet. We can work on this further on the other thread.
