[SOLVED] DualShock control isn't sent to Crazyflie 10DOF?

Post by mvi »

So I received my kit yesterday and I just had some time to mount it today. For some reason, I can't manage to manually spin the motors and make it fly. I have read various threads in the forums, but couldn't find my exact problem. I'll post all the information I can with the hope that some of you pro's will help me resolve it ;).

I have the 10DOF. AFAIK it is fully built now. When I turn it on, the motors spin and three LEDs turn on. The green one only flashes once, the blue one stays on, and the red one keep flashing all the time.

On the host side, I am on 64-bit Win8. I already had Motioninjoy installed and working since I use it to play Dark Souls. I installed the drivers and the cfc client without detecting any issue.

Now, when I run Motioninjoy, turn on the fly and open the cfcclient everything is static. I connect with the fly and the "Flight data" starts spinning and the "actual" column keeps throwing what seems to be random numbers. Battery also keeps changing. Link quality stays at 0%. (See video at: http://78.47.241.162/temp/crazyflie_troubleshoot.mp4 )
When I give thrust with the controller, the thrust meter goes up, but the motors don't spin. Same happens with all other commands. I press the controller and the "target" column changes, but the fly doesn't move at all.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the debug console.

Please, Heeelp! :)

When you press the connect button do you get an alternative similar to "radio://0/10/250K"?
In the log I can see that you have connected to the debug://0/0 driver which is only there to test the UI and doesn't connect to the Crazyflie.

Awesome, thank you Tobias. I feel pretty stupid, but it works now!

Thanks again!
