LED ring PC client interface
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:16 am
Hi,
I have a CrazyFlie 2.0, which I have configured to work on two different laptops. One is Windows 7 and the other is Windows 8. I installed the CrazyFlie client software on both laptops, and I am able to control the CrazyFlie with both machines. I also have the LED ring expansion board.
On the Windows 7 machine, I notice there is a control panel for the LED ring on the lower-left corner of the PC client software. It is entitled "Expansion Boards" and there is a label of "LED-ring effect" with a dropdown box to select the effect; this works perfectly and does control the LED effects on my CrazyFlie. On the Windows 8 machine, the PC client has no such "Expansion Boards" section.
My question: Is there a CrazyFlie client setting that I can enable to see and interact with this "Expansion Boards" section? I know that my CrazyFlie firmware is OK, because it works on one laptop, but not the other. I believe the issue is in the client software, perhaps a config setting.
Additional information: I can open the "Parameters" tab, and control the LED-ring effects from inside that tab with both laptops. I am hoping only to understand the CrazyFlie client software better (configuration settings, et al).
- thanks!
