Hi, So if you cannot complete the tutorial to get your kinect working, then the problem is with your hardware/system setup. Im not sure how much I can help in this case. I know the kinect can bitch with usb3, so try your other (hopefully some are) usb2 ports. The tracking algorithm just needs depth ...

I found the problem! I missed a step in installing the drivers for the kinect. You should blacklist the default kernel module if you are using Ubuntu 13.04 using: sudo modprobe -r gspca_kinect echo 'blacklist gspca_kinect' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Now I can access the parameters...

Hi Patrik, actually that all sounds pretty good :) The readme is really just a first draft, Im sure there is plenty missing. Use it with a grain of salt! rosrun rviz rviz -d kinect.vcg" is indeed the correct commands, I only recently added the kinect.vcg file. Ill update the readme, thanks for ...

I couldn't find much people talking about flying the crazyflie with a flightsimultator-style joystick, even though to me it seems like a cool way to fly. I was just wondering if anyone has tried this and if it is works well, before I buy one. If so, what brand and type of joystick are you using? Is...

However, I wonder whether the copter can autonomously hold its altitude without any external radio. With the help of on-chip barometer and embedded processor, is it even possible to construct a closed loop altitude control of itself? :) The PC client is only used to set the set point and visualise ...

It is something else.
See here for an example on how to list, read and change a parameter.

This is the parameter you will need to change.

Hope this helps!

Hi! Very quick one from me. What you are trying to do is pretty hard:) The first thing that comes to mind is the ground effect. Drift <20cm from the surface will be huge and with only the current imu sensors pretty unobservable.. If I were you and wanted to follow your approach a little more, I woul...

Hi Tom, Patrik, Ronald, sorry Im extremely short on time these days! Patrik - glad the firmware/client part works at least :)) How is it working on the Kinect end of things? Ronald, Tom - any luck on that error? Ive actually never seen that one before; not sure what it could refer to. It seems be ca...

For alt hold mode, you will need to set a parameter using the parameter frame work. For the thrust values check this code . Basically while hover mode is active, half of thrust = stay at same height, less thrust means decrease target altitude and more thrust = raise target altitude. Good luck :) Hel...

Hi, I use Ubuntu myself, no idea how windows handles cameras. Some of the digitiser are supported by recent linux kernels, so you don't need any drivers. Just plug it in a usb 2 port (Ive had some issues with usb3...) and it should appear under /dev/videoX, where X starts from 0 and enumerates the v...
