two expansion boards at the same time, is it possible?

Post by eric_castro »

I think I've read somewhere this is indeed possible.

I have the Qi charging board and the LED ring board, but they don't seem to work together; looks like it's either one or the other.

Can someone confirm?

Thanks

You can use two at the same time, but not the LED and Qi boards. See more about it on the wiki. Both the Qi and the LED boards (Flykits) are special in that they are terminal (no through-holes). They can't be stacked. It's either one or the other on the bottom of the Crazyflie.

it's such a bummer they are mutually exclusive!

I was looking forward to making an autonomous self charging nano quad with some eye candy :(

You could always do a NeoPixel ring mod to put some twinkle on it... ;)
