CrazyFlie 2.0 and Windows 10

Post by digsaw »

I have the CrazyFlie 2.0 which seems to self-test okay.

I have the PC client installed on Windows 10. Device Manager detected the CrazyFlie via USB. I installed the drivers with the Zadig software. It shows correctly installed under libusb-win32. However, the PC client can not find it. Scanning and connecting does not work.

Cfclient
Cfclient version: 2014.01.0
System: win32

Interface status
serial: None
radio: Cannot find a Crazyradio Dongle
udp: None

Crazyflie
Connected: None
Firmware: None
Sensors found
Sensors tests


I also downloaded Virtual Box and the VM. It detects the CrazyFlie and I can connect with USB and it detects its sensors. But it does not recognize anything other than USB (radio etc). So not sure how to proceed with it from there?

My Windows 10 client does see it via Bluetooth. Pairing fails. But I think you aren't supposed to pair through the native Windows client anyway.

Not sure what to do next.

Think I figured this out. I guess without the CrazyRadio you can't control from your PC.

So, if you only have the CrazyFlie 2.0 (no CrazyRadio PA), then you can only control from your iPhone or Android correct? No PC connectivity options?

Yes. This is essentially correct. Bluetooth connectivity from PC is not officially available but you might want to have a look at this...
