Hi, This is a pretty broad and hard question :) What can be done with the LED ring is to set independently the color of the LED quickly from the Firmware, after that the only limit is the imagination :-). The basic things we have though about where: - Simple sequences (eg. spinner) - Fixed patterns ...

Hi,

Can you check that the Crazyradio appears as libusb device in the device-manager as described here: http://wiki.bitcraze.se/projects:crazyr ... leshooting (I just updated the page with a new screenshoot

Hi Cliff, I guess the rssi measurements are not meant to be used with 'high' power, the nrf51 in the crazyflie2 will read -40dBm max... Currently when the copter is powered we keep RX_EN high in firmware and we have TX_DIS as HI-Z. The PA is on an always-ON voltage (VCCNRF is never switched off) so ...

Nice, happy you fixed your Crazyflie.

As for the battery life, the Crazyflie 2 consumes about 7.5W to hover so the added radio power will have a really small impact on flight time. Though if you are interested in IDLE battery time (ie. when Crazyflie is powered but does not fly), the impact will be more significant.

Hi CliffH, How are you measuring the RSSI? We observered a great increase in range when adding the PA, though it is not so useful when communicating with BLE devices as the TX power of BLE phones will still be around 0dBm. The Bluetooth tx power is actually handled separately by the BLE stack and ha...

Sorry I wasn't clear: Yes it look like you have flashed a bad firmware, but it does not seems you erased the bootloader so you can still re-flash a good firmware. Using the client you can 'initiate cold boot' and restart the Crazyflie, it should reconnect the bootloader. You can try many times if it...

Hi, It is currently very hard to brick a Crazyflie with the bootloader (understand: impossible unless you intentionally code, compile and flash a firmware to erase the flash ...) so it should not be bricked: The RED/GREEN blink you see is the bootloader that wait for a packet to start bootloading. Y...
