[SOLVED] Grayed Out Command Based Control Tab

Post by sAz »

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use the "command based flight control" in the cfclient, but the buttons are grayed out.

I am using the latest cfclient version and the latest version of the cflib on ubuntu 20.04 (Desktop pc). I also tried the cfclient on a laptop and there everything works fine.

For the position estimation I am using the lighthouse deck and the positioning seems to work fine (the drone can estimate the base stations geometry). I could also flash the latest firmware onto the drone.

This is the output at the console tab:

Code: Select all

SYS: Crazyflie 2.1 is up and running!
SYS: Production release 2022.01
SYS: I am 0x203937434848500D0047003C and I have 1024KB of flash!

and this is what I see in the terminal:

Re: Grayed Out Command Based Control Tab

Could you also share a printscreen of the cfclient as well? Sometimes it will detect a certain usb device as a controller, and then it will disable the commander panel.

I'm a bit worried about this error message about the lighthouse tab:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

Do you have another positioning system as well to try out, like a flowdeck?

This is how the client look like when connected to a drone:

I have only the lighthouse positioning system. The client worked well earlier on the same computer, but then this functionality failed after updating the client one time (but I am not sure exactly when).

Thanks for the screenshot!

Yes it is as I expected, it thinks that your keyboard is a usb based controller, so we will need to black list it.

Have you seen this forum thread? viewtopic.php?t=5083
You can try the solution in there and see if it works.

This solution works. I had to blacklist it. Thanks!
