What do you guys think about documenting all those different great approaches for landing gear on the wiki? I started a page there in the "hacks and mods" section a couple of days back, so far only the NERF dart approach by mrb0y is featured there though.

Heh, you are welcome :) As for the mappings and using the shoulder/trigger buttons instead, I never even thought you could do that! Actually, I thought the digital button pad didn't work (or there was some issue with it) with Crazyflie client. Careful there, the sticks and the shoulder triggers (the...

I corrected the spelling of the mapping file (xbox360_model -> xbox360_mode1) and that worked! Well, I was able to affect Crazyflie with the XBox controller, however the mappings are all messed up for some reason. (Thrust is on the right joystick and diagonal!). Though the output on the xboxdrv tab...

Have you made sure to plug in the controller first? If the client doesn't find a controller, it will just shutdown (or hang, can't remember which it was). Also, make sure to make the scripts referenced in the udev rules executable (sudo chmod +x /root/bin/cfheadless /root/bin/xbox360). In order to d...

Which I had to do at least on my Pi, otherwise I got an error message (might have been before setting up proper udev rules though). Speaking of which (x-posted from here ): /etc/udev/rules.d/99-xbox360.rules SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="045e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0719&...

Here's what I did to get mine to work:
Are you using xboxdrv or driving a different approach?

The 5.8Ghz FPV set is 124€, find this quite reasonable. Not sure where you are getting that 1200€ quote from.

So it's either getting my hands on an ESKY TX, waiting for PPM or just sticking with my XBox controller (which works surprisingly well). Thanks for the answer

Heyas everyone! So... it happens that I still have a DSM2 transmitter lying around from an old try at RC helicopters which appears to talk a different language (so to speak) than the ESKY transmitter that already has some support built-in into the firmware. More precisely it's an Eflite LP5DSM: http...
