[SOLVED] Unable to connect to crazyflie after setting channel to 127

Hi,

While testing different channels using the python client I got stuck when I tried channel 127 (the maximum). It seems it was written to the crazyflie but a scan doesn't show up anything anymore. Leds of crazyflie and crazyradio look normal. Connecting using the smartphone app works.

Things I've tried:
  • resetting crazyradio firmware to cradio-pa-0.53.bin
  • resetting crazyflie firmware to firmware-cf2-2020.06.zip
  • working with the latest version of the python client
  • removing ~/.config/cfclient and restarting python client
None of this helped however. Does someone have more suggestions or experienced something similar?

Hi,

The maximum is 125, not 127 (see here). I just tried it myself and 125 does seem to work on our end.

Could you let us know where you saw the 127 as maximum? Maybe the documentation has a typo somewhere, so we will need to correct that.

Hi Kimberly,

Clicking the "up" arrow in the python client, that reaches 127.

Ah good to know! That can indeed confuse people. It is not supposed to go there.

We will make sure that this is not possible in the next release of the cfclient. Thanks!

I've made an issue here: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-c ... issues/422 so other people will know of this as well.

Do you know of a way to recover from this situation? I've tried to reset everything I know of but can't detect the crazyflie anymore. I'm not sure what to try next or where to start looking.

I was able to connect again over the radio by resetting the crazyflie's EEPROM as documented here.

Thank you!

It is also possible to connect the crazyflie to the cfclient with USB as well. Then you can change the configuration too. But resetting the eeprom is also a good method :)
