Which Client to use

Post by Psichosix »

On the wiki the screenshots of the cfclient shows setting on the main tab for the LED lights on the bottom left corner. Which build or branch is this from? I cannot seem to get that to show up.

You can find it on the develop branch:
-> https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-c ... ee/develop

Unfortunately there has not been an official release for quite some time (hint hint ;) ).

I'm guessing I don't remember eclipse as well as I thought. I updated my files with the current on the repository. I checked out a new branch. Still no go. Dug through history to where it was added. Tried checking that out. No matter what I try I never get any change to reflect in the client when I launch it. What could I be missing?

Just use the link to GitHub and click on the "Download Zip" button on the right side.
That version works. I just tested it.

Should also work when checking out with Eclipse. Are you sure you are looking at the right directory when you start the client?

If I read that right, I should be able to delete everything. Download zip and unpack it. Launch the client and be good to go?

I am new to Linux. Turns out there was a copy still in /usr/local. I was able to delete it. However if I type cfclient it would still try and start it. I downloaded the zip and if I run it with command python cfclient it works. If I dont put python first it tries to launch somewhere else. Is there an easy way to clean this up?

Maybe you installed the client with pip if it is in /usr/local

You can try:

Code: Select all

sudo pip uninstall cfclient
