[SOLVED] can only connect to crazyflie while in boot loader

Post by higgorama »

I have a crazyflie with crazyradio pa and am running the VM. crazyflie firmware is 2017.06 and the vm software is updated.

if I power on the crazyflie and scan from the vm, it doesn't find a radio interface
if I power on the crazyflie in bootloader mode, the VM sees radio 0/0/2M and I can connect:

INFO:cflib.crazyflie:Callback->Connection initialized[radio://0/0/2M]
INFO:cflib.crazyflie:We are connected[radio://0/0/2M], request connection setup
INFO:cflib.crazyflie:Resending for pattern (93, 5)
INFO:cflib.crazyflie:Resending for pattern (93, 5)
...

if I go into Configure 1.0 and connect to try to change the radio to 250Kb and channel 10, it says its updated but if I restart the crazyflie and connect again it still won't connect in normal mode and the interface in bootloader shows 0/0/2M

what am I missing or doing wrong?

Since this is a Crazyflie 2.0, it may be that it is configured to a different radio address. You can connect it using the USB port and you will then be able to connect to it using the client (you will need to pass it in the VM first). Then you should be able to use the "Configure 2.0" menu to channge channel, datarate and address.
