Restore Default Software - BLE Timeout [SOLVED]

Post by MrAnderson »

Hi, I just installed the VM and began following the tutorial to change the LED from red to green. I may have misclicked somewhere and the LED has not changed and errors seem to be occruing.

Prior to this controlling the quadcopter with my android device was working fine, now the BLE has timed out and the device cannot be controlled.

Is there any way I can reinstall the default code onto the quadcopter?

Thanks

Hi,

You can download the Crazyflie firmware release: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-r ... ag/2016.11

The .zip file contains all required firmware and can be programmed using the client.

Alternatively using git you are able to reset the project to the master branch and flash them with 'make cload'.

Hi, thanks for your help. I have reset the firmware and have tried running the default program but it still not working. I can run the 'make cload' program and then flash the drone with the radio, the drone responds but there is no change.

Whenever i double click on a folder a cross symbol appears on it and a new 'Probelm' occurs. I have screenshotted it below.

When trying to connect to the drone with my phone I am still getting the BLE timeout error. Could you please instruct me how to fix this, sorry I'm very inexperienced with this software.

Thanks,

for the "problems", one reason is that eclipse is not fully setup for the project so it sees more problem than threre really is. When launching make target you should look in the 'console' tab to see if there is any problem.

For BLE, have you flashed the latest release using the client? (https://www.bitcraze.io/getting-started ... #latest-fw).

What kind of phone do you have, android or ios?

Thank you, flashing with the client has solved the problem. I was previously flashing with Eclipse.

Ok great, My guess it that you flashed a version of the nRF firmware without Bluetooth.
