Re: OSX: ui & ps3 controller work but cant connect to crazyf

Great :)

I do get weirdness after flashing firmware unless I quit and re-open cfclient. I probably should trace the bug, but I can't really be bothered :)

Re: Compiling Firmware

Really? I can't say I've used the updated stock firmware recently to be fair.

Re: Compiling Firmware

Are you trying a quick connect? It's possible that the new firmware changed the radio channel/bitrate (but unlikely I think?)

There should be no issues copying between VM and host, but you could also try bootloading from inside the VM

Re: 10DOF model sensors

Hmm, that's not a bad plan, it'd be reasonably easy to see the offsets from the motors at various speeds by logging the mag readings while the cf is strapped down and rev'd :D

Re: Self stabilizing using the 3-axis accelerometer?

You can fiddle with them in the 'parameters' tab :)

Once I find a good set, I'll push the changes to bitbucket and provide a compiled .bin

Phiamo's done some work with my code too, but I'm still at work so I'll check it out at home :)

Re: Self stabilizing using the 3-axis accelerometer?

It needs compiling first at the moment, once I've got it working nicely I'll stick up a compiled blob and do a pull request.

Rmirwin2, are you using the standard PID coefficients? I think they still need tweaking, but yeah, they're not too far off I think.

Re: Self stabilizing using the 3-axis accelerometer?

I re-coded the hover 'thrust control' part of Phiamo's code here: https://bitbucket.org/mjc506/crazyflie-firmware I still need to tweak the PID parameters (and work out a sensible D part) but so long as the set point isn't too far away, it hovers quite happily. I'd recommend holding on to your cf at...

Re: Stabilise altitude using z axis accelerometer

sure, code is here: https://bitbucket.org/mjc506/crazyflie-firmware and it compiles and runs fine. You will also need a patched cf-client - I used Phiamo's code: https://bitbucket.org/phiamo/crazyflie-pc-client (but couldn't get his firmware working for me) Altitude hold works ok, but I still need t...
