Using Ubuntu 12.04@GK802 as base station for Crazyflie

[farcop]

Hello there!

As you probably know Russianpost terribly delays all mailings, so I am still waiting my Crazyflie so far...
So I had a lot of time to prepare to fly.

I has GK802 multi-core media player, featuring the quad-core i.MX 6 SOC, 1Gib of RAM, USB-host, 2 microSD slots and running Android 4 on it.


I just compiled Ubuntu 12.04 preview image as described here http://jas-hacks.blogspot.ru/2013/04/im ... image.html and installed CFclient on it. With Xbox360 Wireless joystick it works well.

Just one issue is bugging me: xboxdrv and cfclient works only from sudo, so it cant load xboxdrv automaticly...

Hey farcop,

cool setup you got there! Had to laugh at the cable tied heatsink though

Just one issue is bugging me: xboxdrv and cfclient works only from sudo, so it cant load xboxdrv automaticly...

I solved this a while back for my setup on the Raspberry Pi, see here
