radio transmitter and crazyflie 2.0

[edelrabe]

Hi, I'd like to buy radio transmitter to control crazyflie 2.0,
say the model Flysky FS-T6 2.4GHz 6-CH.
Is this possible? Do I need to install reciever on crazyflie or the transmitter can be linked directly to nRF51822 radio chip?

I found this in wiki: http://wiki.bitcraze.se/projects:crazyflie:hacks:et6i

The ESKY ET6I Remote Control is compatible to the Crazyflie as they share the same radio chipset

Where can I find compatible transmitters?
Sorry if this is nub question, but I couldn't find any info in bitcraze wiki about transmitters compatibility.

Do you mean a list of supported transmitters or where to buy them?
I think the only real supported product is the ESKY controller, however it requires a special firmware since the protocol is slightly different.
There were a few projects here on the forum of home-made transmitters as well.

So the only way to control it remotely is Crazyradio (PA) or some transmitters that are based on Nordic Semiconductor's chips. Am I right?

Let's say I have Turnigy 9x with module and receiver (Turnigy 9X8C-V2 8-channel receiver).
How can I connect the receiver to crazyflie? Is this possible?

Yes - out of the box only nordic chips are supported.
How heavy is your receiver? Max payload is ~5g. If it has some kind of standard interface and works with 2.7V, you could use the extension port and change the firmware to use that receiver module instead.
