Haha, that makes for a difficult landing

I got my voltage converter (I actually got a TI REG71050). Unfortunately I underestimated the tinyness of the SOT23 SMD casing... Therefore it doesn't fit on the prototyping board.

I guess I'll have to start etching my own PCBs to work around that

What are you going to power with that thing?

As written in the post above it, a HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. It is very cheap and first tests have shown that it's quite accurate.

Yesterday I also tried outside flying, on a big parking lot next to our house. It was 01:30 in the morning so cars were around. Flying in the dark is great with the LED ring on, it looks fantastic. Keeping the orientation is hard though. I think text time I'll invert front/back controls and turn on ...

I have the Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510. Works nicely, also from Linux. You can put it into either Xinput mode or DirectInput mode.

If you get your group of CFs to work, I'd really like to see a video and maybe a blogpost about it

Nice effect. Could you post your effect function (the one with signature static void yourEffect(uint8_t buffer[][3], bool reset))?

Is the CF2 even manageable with digital controls?

Here's another thread on this topic: http://forum.bitcraze.se/viewtopic.php? ... over#p6475

You mean the absolute yaw value (like a compass)? In the UI you can see the yaw value in the "actual" column. http://tmp.dbrgn.ch/screenshots/20150102_112838.png The range is [-180,180]. You should also be able to get this value out of the flie using the logging system. You can see all ava...

I've tried to do the same. My approach was to use little colored styrofoam balls on top of the CF2 to be able to track it. I haven't actually tried it yet though, because my webcam has really crappy quality and so poor color representation. It's hard to properly detect the colors. What algorithm are...
