Command Based Flight Control doesn't work

I got crazyflie 2.1 and lighthouse deck recently.
I follow the tutorial to set up your drone and positioning system,
I tried to fly with Command Based Flight Control, but it does not respond.
I have confirmed the following items.
1) Update the firmware to the latest version
2) Flying drone with mobile app
3) Flying drone using Ubuntu20.04 + cfclient + gamepad
4) The position of the drone is correctly recognized on the lighthouse positioning.
There is no error or warning on 'console' tab so I can't figure out what is problem.
Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do.

Hi Sajisaka!
This sounds weird!! Let's try to figure it out!
- Have you checked in the Lighthouse tab that the drone is receiving from the base stations?
- And that the position of the drone that is given seems ok?
- Could you try to use one of the python examples to fly? Like for instance autonomous_sequence_high_level.py in the https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-lib-python repository
- Could you check if there is any error output in the Log Client tab?
Thanks
Jonas

Yes it seems OK.

Yes
>Could you try to use one of the python examples to fly? Like for instance autonomous_sequence_high_level.py in the
https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-lib-python repository
I'll try and report it
>Could you check if there is any error output in the Log Client tab?
I check but there is no information (no error, no warning)

I runned autonomous_sequence_high_level.py and it works.
(drone takes off and it seems to follow some trajectory, unfortunately, my room is not so wide so drone hits the wall.)
but In cfclient, the problem still remains.

Thanks for testing sajisaka!
Could you clarify one thing, in what way does Command Base Flight Control not respond? Is the buttons grayed out, or is it possible to press them and nothing happens?
Could you check the parameter system.canFly?
All the best
Jonas

Sorry for late reply.

I can push the buttons and nothing happens.

Ok, thanks!
Is there any output in the Log Client tab that seems relevant?

Hi,
I have a similar problem with my ubuntu PC.
The Command Base Flight Control is accessible (I can press the button) but nothing happens.
The detail on my case:
1) Update the firmware to the latest version (both crazyflie and lighthouse deck)
2) The position of the drone is correctly recognized on the lighthouse positioning (all green up to estimator).
3) managed to fly the drone with:
--> A) mobile app,
--> B) windows PC with VM and command base flight control, and
--> C) ubuntu PC (the problem one) but with python script from here
https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/t ... ne-bundle/
4) Not sure about the log client, but I don't specifically see any ERROR message
The only weird part in my case is on the bottom left on my cfclient has the message
Using Normal mux with LiteOn Lenovo Traditional USB Keyboard Consumer Control (No input mapping)
while I don't see that message on VM in windows (point 3B above).
I suspect the cfclient misinterpret my keyboard as an input and waiting for something, but at this point, I have no idea what to fix.
Please let me know if there is anything else that I need to provide.

Hi!
I believe that Jonas is talking about the console tab, which you can find in 'view' > 'tabs'> check 'console tab'. If the crazyflie connects to the cfclient, here will be output of several printifs from the crazyflie itself, and should among other things, indicate which decks are connected and if the kalman filter for positioning is diverging.
Could you copy the content of that? Along with the content of 'help' > 'about' > 'debug' from the cfclient (while the crazyflie is connected).
