Crazyflie Repair

Post by VegasCFflyer »

Is there someone that repairs crazyflies. I have had mine a couple weeks and was able to damage the on off switch. I don't know if this is repairable or not. Any information would be appreciated.

Looks like the switch piece became jarred from the housing. Maybe I just need to find out where to get this switch from. anyone know?

You can find a list of replacement parts here: https://wiki.bitcraze.io/projects:crazy ... spareparts. The switch is SW1.

It's not too hard to replace. A little soldering experience will help. The surface mount switch takes a good eye so a magnifier is a big help. I blogged about it once. I found the switches at Mouser.com (links in the blog post). You an also just use a piece of metal or a wire to momentarily short the two sides of the button (where the solder pads are) to turn it off and on.
