crazyflie 2.0 fails self test on arrival [SOLVED]

Post by tommyvn »

Hi all

My Crazyflie 2.0 has just arrived but on plugging it into the usb port on my laptop it turns m3 and m2 premanantly blue and flashes m1 and m4 green then red, then pauses, than same again and then m1 immediately flashes quickly 5 times, pauses, then same again until I unplug it.
Based on the failure clip this indicates a failure in the self test.
It's on a steady surface, not near anything magnetic.
I have tried tapping/banging the curves near the leds on the corner of a table altho I'm not sure how hard is too hard to bang. It didn't help.
Is there anything I can do or should I be returning for a replacement?

I've fired up a weendoze VM hooked it up to the python client and found that I have the same problem described at http://forum.bitcraze.se/viewtopic.php? ... back#p6141
I don't have the equipment or skills to re-solder the bad circuitry so I guess there's nothing left to do but return it.
