Android phone as controller for Betaflight flashed CrazyFlie 2.0

Post by mvsadi »

Hi,

I recently flashed Betaflight on a CrazyFlie I had lying around. After setup,I first tested the motors to see if everything was in order and faced no problems there. I read on the bitcraze betaflight instruction page that Betaflight does not change the NRF51 firmware so I tried connecting it to my Android phone. While it connects to my android phone and I can see the TYRP values change under the receiver tab in Betaflight, I'm not able to get the motors to spin up on command from the phone. What am I missing?

Also, has anyone managed to get Betaflight working with the Crazyflie client connecting via the Crazyradio?

Hi!

Sorry that does not work. As far as I know they do not use the same protocol

Despite the fact that it is able to establish a connection with my Android phone and that I am able to see a change in the TYRP values under the receiver tab in Betaflight, I am unable to get the motors to start spinning when I provide a command from the phone.
