Re: Thrust control law for improved vertical stability and h

Once you fly stabilised (your current thrust being roughly equal to THF) it is an excellent idea to lock that thrust and use the thrust lever for fine-tuning. However, due to the limitations of my joystick, or me as a pilot, I am not precise enough so as to reach the THF in stabilized flight: I wil...

Once the button is released, throttle control returns to normal (perhaps with a slight delay to avoid it zer...

Re: [SOLVED] Logging accelerometer values

Re: [SOLVED] Logging accelerometer values

ok, I've got logging working for the stabilizer data.

Re: [SOLVED] Logging accelerometer values

The posted solution is not working for me. When i run the code I eventually get: INFO:cflib.crazyflie:Callback->Connection setup finished [radio://0/10/250K] WARNING:cflib.crazyflie.toc:Unable to find variable [acc.x] WARNING:cflib.crazyflie.log:Log: acc.x not in TOC, this block cannot be used! acc....

Re: Too many packets lost

I did not do as good of a job soldering as I should have done. I will post a picture if I can't figure out what is going on. Thanks for your help.

Re: Too many packets lost

Tried everything in windows. Same problem: as soon as throttle is applied, too many packets are lost and the cf disconnects.

I have everything working until I press the throttle on the joystick, when the propellers spin for a second or two and then I get a too many packets lost error. firmware is cflie-2013.4.bin and cradio-0.52.bin I am using a ge...
