I'ts been a minute since I've been on here, welcome back everyone! I built an adapter to finally calibrate/finish build of my big quad deck project. I have had it together for months, but due to instability with the mounting of my CF2 body, it was difficult to fly and some components were damaged. I...

Hi all, I believe I have stumbled across a bug. The PWM output from the BQ deck does not seem to be working reliably. Sometimes it will work just fine, but a good number of times, the duty cycle is stuck at 40% no matter what I do to the throttle, and try disconnecting/reconnecting to the crazyflie....

Will do. I swear I did, or maybe it is because whenever I use makefiles, extra contents go in the root directory.

Thanks for help everyone!

Edit: this thread should be moved to the crazyflie dev discussions or something.. Didn't realize I made it in crazyradio. Must have been a late night

So I think I found a bug. Moving the config.mk into the right folder and not the root folder with the Makefile definitely helped, I got my motors spinning a few times. But it seems that the motors don't like to spin if I start up the crazyflie without the brushed motors attached. It is quite strange...

Yes sorry about that but it was a reoccurring issue that came into scope again here. 1. Yes I agree it is not being compiled in from what I am seeing. Wow, it goes in the /tools/make?? I swear I read somewhere on here it goes in the root directory, same as the Makefile itself, hence me saying this: ...

I reflashed without the config.mk, and the console in 2017.04 (Windows) didn't display anything but I have had the console go blank in other versions of CFclient. Before it went blank, it appeared to refresh with the exact same info as what I just posted, making me think the firmware compilation is ...

That is an interesting point about the config.mk. I will try without it later to see what the console says. But for now, I compiled firmware with DEBUG=1 and PLATFORM=CF2, still keeping my modified 200 Hz PWM adjustment (hence MODIFIED), I get this: SYS: Crazyflie 2.0 is up and running! SYS: Build 6...

I didn't post the output of the modified firmware from changing the PWM timing, just the latest version with the modified motors.c (But pulled from your repo so it shows up as 'CLEAN'). But I did get ahold of a scope today and can confirm there is no PWM output coming from any pins on the BQ deck, w...

I pulled the latest firmware which seems to have the patch in motors.c.. I checked. Cleaned, maked, flashed using the latest commit on github, still with the correct config.mk file (double checked spelling) Still same issue, Here is the copy of my console display, as you can see the build is now dif...

I definitely did that. I put my 'config.mk' file in the root of the firmware folder (with the Makefile), did 'make clean' first to clean out any old crap, then did 'make PLATFORM=CF2'. Followed by 'make cload' to start flashing firmware from CLI. Also tried redoing this, double checking things, and ...
