Bluetooth Problem communication flie -> client

Post by Torsten »

Hey,

sending packets to the file with bluetooth (BLE) works as expected. I'm able to fly with my MacBook Pro (great!).
Is it possible to use logging with bluetooth? When I send a TOC_INFO packet for logging, I receive a packet without any payload (crazy radio sends a packet with item count and crc). Does that mean there is no toc and no logging for bluetooth or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

sorry for this bump, but this is the only problem holding me back to provide a new NodeJS client that works seamlessly with crazy radio and bluetooth.

This could be great on Intel edison!

Does the android app display any logging data?!

There's one line in the "Bluetooth Low Energy" section in a post on the Bitcraze blog that makes me think what you're looking for isn't implemented yet.

This line makes me think capability is not in the nRF51 firmware:
It is planned to add more Bluetooth capabilities for things like communicating the battery status and being able to switch ON or OFF the Crazyflie with a mobile devices.
It's not specific but might indicate that TOC and logging over BLE isn't here yet...

I gotta say though, that BLE using Mac as the client is cool and I'm intrigued by that possibility. Tobias mentioned that would be a lot harder to implement in Windows.

Hi, I'm working on implementing a PyObjc client to control the cf from my macbook with BLE.
Apparently you guys already have this working. Any chance of pointing me to a working solution?
Thanks in advance.
