Crazyflie not booting correctly

Post by steffen »

Dear Bitcraze-Team,

I've trouble with my crazyflie.

I just wanted to try out the Lighhouse System, so I attached the lighthouse deck and upgraded the firmware according to https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/r ... re-upgrade. Afterwards I was not able to connect to the crazyflie and only the red and blue LED of the lighthouse deck are enlighted as well as M2.

I already found an old forum post with a kind of similar problem (but with a flow deck). As described in the posts I tried the cold boot recovery, but the crazyflie is still not booting correctly (the propellers are not moving and only the above mentioned LEDs are on). I'm using your virtual machine and tried to install Firmware Version: 2022.03-rc3

Could you please help me to bring my crazyflie back to life ?
Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Steffen

Hi,

A new thing this ongoing release is that we will break up the CF2.1 and Bolt platform. You have most likely flashed with Bolt FW to the CF2.1 which will refuse to boot. Select a ...firmware-cf2... and it should work again.

We are changing the selection list so the cf2 is the first selected choice.

Hi Tobias,

thanks a lot. It is now booting again correctly.
The problem was as you mentioned the wrong firmware selection.
