[SOLVED] CF powers off/shuts down at full thrust

[duane]

I've searched and haven't found an issue that sounded like mine and, since I'm new to the CF, this may totally be operator error. I've had the CF 2.0 for a few weeks and love it, flying with a Xbox controller works great overall I'm super impressed with the platform.

Last nite I started playing around with Aerogel. When I can get Aerogel to connect (another issue entirely), the CF connects and immediately shuts off. I thought this might be an issue with the library so I opened up the CF PC client and found that when I just give the CF full thrust it shuts down. I can "ramp up" to full throttle (starting at 0 and steadily increasing works great), but just immediately pushing the gamepad stick to 100% causes the CF to power off. This is also true of alt-hold. If I just press the alt-hold button on the gamepad the CF shuts off.

Any ideas? Are there any helpful logs or readings I can post? There's nothing in the console that seems suspect.

This can be fixed with a firmware update. See this blog post.

This version fixes an issue that was triggered by the motor PWM frequency interfering with the one of the voltage regulators causing the Crazyflie 2.0 to shut-off if the thrust increased too fast

There it is in plain English. Thanks!
