[SOLVED] CrazyRadio is not detected by BitcrazeVM

[Robert]

Hi Guys,
I just bought two crazyflies and tried to fly using the BitcrazeVM, in Ubuntu, and a game pad. I followed the instructions from this link: https://www.bitcraze.io/getting-started ... yflie-2-0/ but when I inserted the CrazyRadio PA and game pad into the USB ports, I moused over the USB icon so a message popped up "No USB device attached". It seems that the VM can't detect the USB devices attached. Could please you please provide any help for this issue? Also, I noticed when I plug in my CrazyRadio into the USB port, there is no lighted up LED. is it normal , no lighted up LED on hardware piece?

Many thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,

For the VM, what operating system are you running? If you are on linux there is some extra step to allow the VM to access USB devices: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/200 ... linux-host. Then you need to right click on the USB icon to attach a USB device.

For the Crazyradio, it is normal that all LED are OFF when it is connected to the PC. Though both LED should blink when you are connecting it.
