The weird 100% CPU utilization issue I had went away when I connected an input device (PS3 controller), connection to the crazyflie worked fine and it flies nicely as long has it has a good pilot to control it. So in case someone else prefers to use MacPorts to get everything setup my blog post linked to above works well.ckk wrote:I haven't flown yet, but there's details on what I did to get the UI up and running on my MBA running Lion on my blog here: http://kullander.nu/blog/2013/05/06/cra ... on-my-mac/.
[SOLVED] Getting flying with a Macbook Air

Re: Getting flying with a Macbook Air
Glad to hear that it's working better with the joystick connected. I open up an issue here for this so if you have any more info it would be great if you wanted to add it.ckk wrote: The weird 100% CPU utilization issue I had went away when I connected an input device (PS3 controller), connection to the crazyflie worked fine and it flies nicely as long has it has a good pilot to control it.
We have install instructions for OSX using homebrew on the wiki (thanks to contributions) but if you want to add the description on how to use MacPorts I can set you up with an account, just drop me a mail.ckk wrote: So in case someone else prefers to use MacPorts to get everything setup my blog post linked to above works well.

Re: Getting flying with a Macbook Air
It's probably worth adding to the wiki that you might need to run it with python2 if you already have python 3 installed (as I do, though I don't remember installing it). When trying to run the example with the "python" command, I was getting errors about pyusb not being installed (due to the imcompatible versions, I found out, although the error message was not helpful).marcus wrote:Glad to hear that it's working better with the joystick connected.

Re: [SOLVED] Getting flying with a Macbook Air
I strongly suggest using brew instead of macports.
I got things working in no time with brew.
