Chromebook support for Crazyflie

[shreks7]

Hey,

I am planning to use bunch of Chromebooks to teach students to code and fly Crazyflie. But I am unable to do it. The Chromebook doesn't read the Crazyflie radio device.

I am running dev-mode and using crouton, I can to switch to Ubuntu 12.04 (or Xfce4).
I have installed all the libraries (python-usb, pygame etc) including Crazyflie ones. The client fires up properly but in the debug section (help) it shows "Crazyradio not found"

So, i tried used pyusb basic code to detect the radio and see if it being detected or not. Surprisingly it works well with the pyusb code and shows the device information correctly. That means it is connected to the Chromebook (even when i do lsusb, it shows in the list).

When I use cfheadless, it gives me "No input device found". With the basic code, it shows "Can't find any Crazyflie".

Any help or lead regarding this would be great !

Thanks

Are you running cfheadless or the GUI client as root? You may need to be root to access the Crazyradio. You can add udev rules so you don't have to run the client as root...

I tried both the UI and the cfheadless with root , still it wont detect the radio device.

(Added udev rules too, still no luck )
