Crazyflie will not calibrate

Hello, I'm working on an offshore vessel and brought my crazyflie out to keep me occupied. I'm having trouble getting the crazyflie to calibrate (red light blinking 1hz). I'm guessing this is because i'm on a moving vessel that is allways moving with the seas. Is there a trick to force calibration o...

Crazyflie will not self test.

So I guess I finally broke this thing. I've gotten pretty decent at flying and have been zipping it allover the house. Well it worked fine last time i used it, went to fly again and this time when I power on the crazyflie it will not spin the motors and do a self test. Instead the 3 LED's stay lit s...

Re: Tips on flying for a noob/ my first fly experience

Re: Tips on flying for a noob/ my first fly experience

No matter what I try, I cannot get it to save a new control mapping. Even tried renaming the .json input file to a .doc, and editing it in word, then back to .json - didn't work. Re-installed the client, doesn't work. Any ideas?

Re: Tips on flying for a noob/ my first fly experience

Thanks for the response. I made throttle more easy to handle by setting max throttle to 70%, and min to 50%. This lets the crazyflie rise and fall slowly while i get use to flying it. My problem now is I am use to flying in mode 2, and there is no xbox mode 2 preset. When I'm in the crazyflie client...
