Interesting that you see the same problem on OSX

One more thing to try out would be to plot the "Pose" log block in the plotter. This log block is created by the client and is used to display the position, it should be very similar to the block you created but also contains roll, pitch and yaw.

The Pose block is fully functional, but I was also able to solve the problem! It turned out that every time I thought I had updated the CF to the newest software it wasn't actually updating. I only sorted it out because I made a mistake setting up a second one, and had to track down what went wrong. Turns out, a quick 'pip3 uninstall cflib cfclient' and a 'pip3 install cfclient' in the terminal fixed the issue, and I was able to actually get them to download the newest version of the software, which solved all my problems. I suppose technically the anchors still flicker, but I'll move forward from here with the functional CFs and let you know if that actually proves to be a problem.

Thanks for all the help on this!
