Re: Can't find usb device

So, we got an M1 mac and I got the client to work with USB/Crazyradio support. The key was to use brew under Rosetta I updated the install instruction of the client: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-clients-python/blob/master/docs/installation/install.md#apple-m1 One potential problem you can h...

Re: Problems with Firmware Upgrade

If you switch ON the Crazyflie in bootloader mode, by pressing the button until M2 blinks and then releasing it, you get in a state where M2 is blinking but M3 is fixed? If so, it likely means that your bootloader in the STM32 is not there anymore, this can happen if someone has programmed the Crazy...

I am not sure how long are the pin you found, but we are now selling longer pins since this thread was started: https://store.bitcraze.io/collections/s ... -connector.

Re: summary of different flash-update options

This is correct that flashing the nRF over USB is currently not possible. The SWD cross connection was done to allow for (at least) 2 potential functionalities: Being able to flash and debug the STM32 over SWD over radio Being able to flash the nRF51 over SWD over USB for recovery (in theory one cou...

Re: summary of different flash-update options

Hi! Tldr; both MCU can be flashed over radio and it is impossible (ie. very hard) to brick the Crazyflie when flashing over radio. For more info, this is how flashing the Crazyflie works: Wireless : Both the nRF51 and the STM32 have a radio bootloader. The nRF51 implements the radio in the bootloade...

Re: Can't find usb device

Hi, The line you copied are not related to the Crazyradio connection but to the SDL connection to a gamepad. Unfortunately we do not have access (yet) to a M1 mac. Looking at how things are going, we are thinking of buying a mac book air just to test compatibility, as it unfortunately seems that it ...

Re: Problems with Firmware Upgrade

This firmware definitely needs to be updated, most likely using the recovery option.

What is the state of the Crazyflie leds when you put it in bootloader mode according to the recovery instruction? Both blue LED must blink on the Crazyflie when it is in bootloader mode.

Re: Crazyflie communication protocol

Interesting project! Just a note: the bootloader is actually documented! There is some doc of the implemented packets; https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/wiki/bootloader-protocol-and-architecture/. Looking at the implementation of the bootloader is a good start as well, the point is to implement ...

Re: Crazyflie communication protocol

Hi, I am not sure to understand the question. Using another MCU will likely be a porting problem more than a communication problem. There is nothing in the communication protocols that are specific to the stm32f405: Crazyflie1 used the same protocol and was using an stm32f103 and we have even played...

Re: crazyflie schematic...

This seems to be a KiCad 5.x issue. Apparently with KiCad 6 the PDF generated will be searchable. We plan to convert all our projects to KiCad 6 once it is released, we will then be able to generate searchable schematic. In the mean-time, I generated one for the Crazyflie 2.1 using the nightly versi...
