Positioning deck suddenly stopped working- appears broken
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:09 pm
Hello
We are using a crazyflie 2.0 (latest firmware), and a loco positioning system.
The system was working for the most part and we were obtaining position and orientation measurements via the cfclient (linux).
Recently however upon turning on the crazyflie when connected to the loco deck, the deck does not respond at all (no lights), and in the cfclient terminal output we are informed that the loco deck cannot be found.
We haven't made any alterations to the firmware, nor how we plug the loco deck in to the crazyflie.
It's also worth mentioning that when the system was working, despite the nodes being set up according to the instructions it was very unreliable, with frequent missed packets and any position measurements obtained being quite inaccurate, with a tendency for the position to wildly diverge from reality.
This appears to me like the loco deck is broken, are there any other possible reasons for this behaviour?
Thanks
