Re: Power button on/off switch BROKE

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the switch. You could just short it like jweather does or have a look at this page on the wiki, order a new one and replace it.

Re: Too many packets lost

Hi, Thanks for the info. Is this info on the wiki somewhere? Otherwise I'll add it to some page. (On a related note I've just updated the OSX installation instructions, hopefully making them better.) Thanks for updating the OSX instructions! Since we don't have access to a Mac we need some help when...

Re: Unable to find variable [stabalizer.roll]

Hi Jean-Marie, No, this has no effect at all. It's a misspelling of stabilizer in the file conf/log/stabalizer.json and this will result in the plot tab not working correctly. Since the plot tab doesn't work very well anyways then this won't really affect anything. It's hard to get the Crazyflie to ...

Re: Too many packets lost

Hi, You could also try to change the channel. This will especially help if you have a wifi operating on the same range as the Crazyflie radio. The same goes for the speed. If you set it to 250kbit/s you will get good range outside but inside (where there are normally wifi/bluetooth and other 2.4 GHz...

Re: Self stabilizing using the 3-axis accelerometer?

Hi, With the accelerometer/gyro we think that it's not possible to get a position hold. The regulation should keep the platform level (if you set roll/pitch to 0/0) but turbulence, vibrations etc will cause this to be slightly off. If the platform is drifting slowly to the sides there's no way to de...

Re: First controlled flight!

Hi, Glad to hear that you have it flying! It's a bit hard to get flying in the beginning we are working on a tips and tricks page but we still haven't had the time to add any information :cry: Did you try flying it inside? Since the Crazyflie is so light it will be affected by the wind outside and t...

Re: Preliminary Questions

Hi,

For the first question you can have a look at this thread for some tips on how to get going on Mac.

Re: OpenPandora with Crazyflie

Hi, When plugged directly to the device the radio LEDs turned on and stayed on, and the OS log gave the generic "unable to enumerate USB device on port #" linux USB device error. It might be this issue that is described here even though it's not USB3. Any chance you could try and update to...
