Bitcraze Forums

Hello, I'd like to develop my own quadcopter and I have two questions :

1/ Is it a good idea to want to use the crazyradio ?

2/ How I can communicate with nRF24L01 Reviews another module? the documentation is here : https://wiki.bitcraze.io/doc:crazyradio:usb:index
but I am little bit lost beacause I am a beginner in programming....
could someone help me?

Thank

(I'm french, do not speak english very well..)

Hi,

1/ If you want to connect your quad to the computer then Crazyradio is ready-made for this purpose.

2/ The documentation you linked explain how to configure the nRF24L01. For an example you can look in Crazyflie 1.0 code: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-f ... ink.c#L163 (also linked from the Wiki). The exact code will depends of your microcontroller.

Hum je crois que tu parles français.

Merci de m'avoir répondu si vite je vais voir si j'utilise la crazyradio, en fait mon µC est un arduino uno, donc dans mon cas comment dois-je m'y prendre ? J'hésite vraiment à acheter la crazyradio, car j'ai une solution qui est plus simple sinon (lire et écrire en série sur l'arduino (couplé à une nrf24l01) branché au pc. Je sais pas si tu aurais le temps de m'aider à m'expliquer en détaille tout cela.. sinon pas grave je ferai ma propre solution.

edit : je sais uniquement programmer en C, en fait j'aimerai être capable d'établir une communication comme ceci :

mon programme en console en C <===>crazyradio <===>mon drone

De plus, outre le fait que la radio 2.4ghz ne prend pas beaucoup de place sur le PCB, qu'elle sont ces avantages par rapport au wifi ? mon drone est de taille normale, donc je sais pas qu'elle communication utiliser :/

Oui je parle Français .

However we prefer to keep discussions in English in the Forum. I will answer you and we can continue to talk by PM.

Crazyradio is a pretty good choice. Use the developed clibflie by Jan Winkler as a starting point and change it to fit your needs. With the Crazyflie board design you already have a working system for your quad.

Are there any news?

@Slaxx: where can I find this clibflie? google does not find anything.

Slaxx probably meant libcflie which can be found here:
https://github.com/fairlight1337/libcflie

I think the key here is to implement this functionality: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyradio- ... /issues/22 it would make it possible to use Crazyradio with anything that uses a nordic 2.4GHz chip.

I have no had any time to work on the Crazyradio lately (the local positioning system is taking some effort and the Crazyradio firmware needs some love (reading the SDCC doc I found out that we are doing a lot of bad things in the interrupt code, it needs to be cleaned up, just added a ticket for it: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyradio- ... /issues/25).
