Yes, this is the indiegogo drone. From earlier posts, I searched the Internet and it looks like there are others that are essentially identical, without the blade guard and landing skids. So the company I got it from on indiegogo has an interesting business model where they very slightly tweak a Chi...

So my nano drone just arrived and I must say I am amazed by the performance for $35 or $15 or whatever you can find on the Internet. Regardless, it is way less than the $250+ I have invested in Crazyflie + Playstation 4 controller + parts, etc. And I haven't even started buying my headless Rasberry ...

I ran through the documentation. Mostly works great. Set default to off for the Neo-pixel, which I've been looking to do for some time. Two issues: 1. Power off your CrazyFlie, and then power back on but holding the power switch until the “M2” LED starts to blink slowly. >> Actually, on my Crazyflie...

I have found two bugs in the Python client as follows: 1. When the Crazyflie python client is run in VM 0.6, the log blocks checkmarks are always checked. The on/off function works -- the checkmarks just don't get unchecked. Note that I have performed a software update in the VM 0.6. The client work...

1 ordered, curious to see how it performs.

I use a Sony PS4 controller over Bluetooth on a MAC, which works great with the CF client. But in the VM, I can not get the controller to work over Bluetooth. The VM does see the controller, but there is an error when trying to connect it to input. Does anyone have ideas for getting it to work?

Hi Arnaud, This is great data! I have just been using my iPhone 5S with the TI SensorTag app holding the phone about a foot away. Very unscientific. I compared Crazyflie with the TI sensor tag. When close, Crazyflie is probably about 10dBm better at best -- the RSSI bounces around a lot. But based o...

Another thought regarding output power.

+8dBm corresponds to roughly 6mw while +20dBm corresponds to roughly 100mW. Has anyone measured the impact on battery life for the second wave of Crazyflie's shipping with the Tx output set to 20dBm?

Is it possible to update radio parameters from the Python client using the param framework? Specifically, I would like to be able to change txpower from the Python client.

Thanks. This is very helpful. So the Crazyflie is running at +8dB Tx without the update. I'm surprised my RSSI readings aren't much higher than what I tend to see with other no-PA BLE devices, which are probably running at +0dBm to +4dBm.
