Removing support for the Flow deck from the firmware breaks the LED ring deck

Post by MichaelNdu »

I was customizing the firmware using the new Kbuild system, and I removed support for a bunch of expansion decks I wasn't planning on using, but after I flashed the crazyflie with the firmware, I noticed I no longer had the ability to control the LED ring deck via parameters. I was unable to set the ring effect or control individual LEDs, or turn on the LED headlight anymore, and it was only after some trial and error that I discovered that the ability to do this appeared to depend on Flow deck support being included in the firmware.

For now, I've just included that, since I need the ability to set LEDs dynamically, but just thought I'd bring some attention to this issue.
