[SOLVED] crazyradio connect problem

[floripaolo]

Hi
I finally managed to get the client up and running (although only by dragging it into terminal, not by cd ing and running it directly).

PS3 controller is also alive.

but i cannot connect the cf via crazy radio. And I get this message

thanks a lot for help...

Thanks for creating the thread floripaolo.

It looks like from the screenshot you posted that the client you're using is quite old. First, how about updating that and then we can see where to go from there. The latest release (as of this writing) can be found here.

First make sure we're using the right MacPorts python (in the Terminal - you should only have to do this once, not each time you run the client):

Code: Select all

sudo port select python python27

Download and unzip the client then, in the Terminal, change to the unzipped directory and try running the cfclient. Make sure your controller and Crazyradio are plugged in before your run these commands.

Code: Select all

cd ~/Downloads/crazyflie-clients-python-2014.12.3
python ./bin/cfclient

Let us know what happened and if it doesn't launch, we'll troubleshoot from there.

Hi
thanks for your help.
I actually used Homebrew on my second try. And I uninstalled Macport.


Cheers

ok.
I reinstalled Macports and all the rest.

but I get this message now.

Paolos-MacBook-Air:local paolo$ sudo port select python python27
Password:
Selecting 'python27' for 'python' succeeded. 'python27' is now active.
Paolos-MacBook-Air:local paolo$ cd ~/Downloads/crazyflie-clients-python-2014.12.3
Paolos-MacBook-Air:crazyflie-clients-python-2014.12.3 paolo$ python ./bin/cfclient
-bash: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory

The second time I tried I got this message:


Paolos-MacBook-Air:MacPorts paolo$ sudo port select python python27
Password:
Selecting 'python27' for 'python' succeeded. 'python27' is now active.
Paolos-MacBook-Air:MacPorts paolo$ cd ~/Downloads/crazyflie-clients-python-2014.12.3

Some installation seems to be missing (I didn't change anything between the first and the second try though....

Well... You are running 'sudo port select python python27' and it seems to be selecting the MacPorts python successfully so I'm not sure that you actually uninstalled MacPorts... What did you do to uninstall it?

Easy enough fix. Since it seems that you are still using MacPorts, just install it:

Code: Select all

sudo port install py27-SDL2

Oh! And by the way... You do not need to run 'sudo port select python python27' everytime. Once you run it, you're using MacPorts python2.7. You don't need to keep running it. It is redundant after the first execution.
