Re: Multiple I2C Peripherals with same Addresses?

I believe what you need there is an I2C hub, something along the lines of the following: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/scps132a/scps132a.pdf

Or else if there's a chip select on the device itself, you might be able to toggle that. Do you have datasheets for the parts your looking into?

Re: Strengthening a Weak Solder Joint

You could strain relief the cable somehow so that if the wires flex in a crash, they won't be stressing the electrical connection. I would use a bit of kapton tape for that and just tape the loose coil wire to the board (a little bit away from the actual electrical connection). Some other tape or ad...

Re: Which JTAG Debugger works best?

I've seen other people mention the Bus Blaster, and that's what the Virtualbox toolchain is configured for. So, proceeding on the assumption that that was among the best to use, I recently ordered one for myself.

Re: Setting up Eclipse on a fresh Ubuntu installation?

That helped a lot, thanks! I'd thought I was working with copies of the project files from the VBox, but I had fooled myself. Those worked, I had to change a couple of links, and then I had a bunch of trouble until I realized that you have to do something special to get the arm tools to work on a 64...

Setting up Eclipse on a fresh Ubuntu installation?

The VirtualBox was good for proof and getting start, but not comfortable to work in for development, so I decided to get a used laptop and dedicate it as a crazyflie dev computer. I've got the client working and controlling successfully, cloned repositories, got the arm tools installed, but I'm havi...

Re: Definitive OS X Thread (hopefully)

Well, lacking feedback, I'm guessing that Linux is the most commonly used, since wiki instructions for setting up the dev environment exist for Fedora and Ubuntu but are TBD on Windows. I think I'll get started on Ubuntu and then try porting it over when I'm more familiar with things.

Definitive OS X Thread (hopefully)

Hello all! I'm very enthusiastic about doing development with the crazyflie, and just getting started and trying to sort out whether I should get another computer for development in Ubuntu or Windows. I'd be much more psyched to develop in my native Mac OS X on my laptop, but I'm not sure if that's ...
