Re: Too many packets lost

How good of a job did you do soldering on the motor wires? Does the antenna chip on the CF look damaged? Can you show a pics? If the antenna chip is damaged the EMI from the motors spinning up could be enough to kill the signal. You may be getting interference from other signals like WifI. You can t...

Re: Crazyflie died :o/

With USB disconnnected, if I test to the +/- on the back of the battery connection, I get 0.3-0.4 mV DC. When I plug the USB in, I get 400mV DC. Yet with the battery connected or disconnected, I experience no LED activity at all. Prior, the LEDs would fire up every time I connected the USB. Thanks,...

Re: Crazyflie died :o/

Do you have a DMM to check and see if the voltage from the battery is really getting to the CF board?

Re: Controlling the crazyflie 10 dof with kinect

There's a C++ library for the crazyflie that you may be able to integrate with the Kinect SDK.

Re: Too many packets lost error

Thanks, it does make sense I'll try. What surprises me is link quality jumps from 100% to 0% several times per second. Is that usual? I don't remember ever seeing something like that happen. Have you tried changing the radio channel or going some where that wouldn't have a lot of interference? By t...

Re: Too many packets lost error

I tried without the antenna and i can't get a connection at all, even very very near the quad, so I guess the antenna is at least working. The antenna could still be damaged and not working at 100% even if it helps a little. You should also check the antenna chip on the CF to make sure it's not cra...

Re: How To Fly CF with Android & Macbook?

When you press the thrust on the xbox controller does the program show it go up to 80 percent?

Re: How To Fly CF with Android & Macbook?

:| That's not a close up picture. I wanted to see if the solder connections of the motor wires (under the battery) were good.

Do the motors spin at all?

Re: How To Fly CF with Android & Macbook?

I did recall I was able to get a response but the Xbox controller continuously flashes green. There must be something off with that? Well, if the program shows a response for thrust, roll, pitch... then it's working Here is a picture of my dust collecting CF That side looks good. How about the othe...
