Re: Motors dislocating when crashing the CF

Thanks for your input, but I would like to avoid mounting something like a cage to the CF. I found an easy protection against dislocating motors that does the job for me. Found some plastic blind plugs with an inner diameter of around 7 mm. It tightly fits the motor mounts from below after trimming ...

Re: Motors dislocating when crashing the CF

Can someone please tell me the outside diameter in millimeters of the motor mount? I'm not at home but have possibly found a quick solution for protecting the motors from below.

Re: Motors dislocating when crashing the CF

I don't have a 3D printer lying around ;), but I'll search for something like the nerf darts. Thanks for the tips.

Motors dislocating when crashing the CF

Good morning dear CF addicts, when crashing the CF (which turned out to happen very often in the learning phase) the motors are being dislocated inside the motor mounts in the downward direction. Even though the motor mounts have some o-shaped kind of support on the inside, the motors are sliding do...

Re: Crazyradio on Win7/virtual machine

OMG, it works! The Crazyradio works in VirtualBox! :lol: :P Can't describe how happy I am. Don't know exactly what I did to make it recognize the USB dongle. Maybe my constant plugging in and unplugging the PS3 controller and Crazyradio somewhen convinced the VM to accept it?! :?: Now it shows up in...

Re: Problems installing PyUSB and running CF PC Client

Re: Problems installing PyUSB and running CF PC Client

Spent some time yesterday to investigate the problem. I installed the Windows package distributed on the wiki. It includes Python, all dependencies and the CF PC Client. There's nothing left to say than 'amazing'! Runs like a charm out of the box, the Crazyradio worked as expected. After flashing th...

Re: Crazyradio on Win7/virtual machine

@Arnaud: Does this help to track down the error source? I'll try to test the Crazyradio under the Win7 x64 environment for the next step. These errors are very strange and look like a USB problem with VirtualBox. Does any other USB devices work in virtualbox? (for example you can try to see if the ...
