Bitcraze Forums

Lukas, Thanks again. I've tried this in a virtual machine and in a native Linux install. In both cases, I ended up in exactly the same place. I can get input from the PS3 controller but I can't connect to the drone. I click "Scan" but it doesn't find a drone (it does seem to find the Crazy...

Lukas,

Yes, the stock client works perfectly. I can also run the Python examples from the command line. It's only within ROS that I have a problem. This may well be due to the fact that I am not well-versed in ROS but I thought I followed the instructions closely. Thanks.

As for your connection issues, have you tried installing and running the standard client, it may install some necessary dependencies for the crazyradio? I've installed the stock client and am able to connect using it. Even though I'm now running natively on a different computer, still can't connect...

In the interface main window, choose Settings. There you can change the rates for a number of aspects of the program.

I'm really vexed by my inability to connect to a Crazyflie from within Oliver's code. I'm posting the relevant details in the hopes that someone can point out what I've done wrong. 1. If I go into the Crazyflie stack within the ros directory subtree and run ramp.py, I am able to connect to and ramp ...

I have nearly got this working, but when I launch kinect tracking, especially when I reset the background the program becomes almost unresponsive. The control input starts to delay by multiple seconds and often, I get Aborted ( core dumped ), and the program crashes, sending the crazyflie to my roo...

Using broader searches of the forum, I found a solution. I can connect now with the Linux machine on which I have Oliver's project installed. Now to get the rest of it running. /thumbsup

Ouch.

We're having a problem that isn't directly related to this project but I'm asking in this thread because it has to do with setup of the environment. I thought I had everything setup as needed to run but I can't recognize a Crazyflie. I've installed Oliver's ros stuff in Ubuntu 12.04 (in a VM). When ...

Very interesting project, Jim. Can you share a photo of your Crazyflie? Keep us posted on progress.
