Re: Crazyflie stability

This issue is also with my crazyflie, most of the time it was not able to level back and it crashed on the floor, struggling and no chance to control it. It looks like a oscillation where the PID is not able to get out. Happens when i drop the crazyflie and then give full or nearly full thrust to mo...

Re: Lost Crazyflie in high grass

I have no pictures yet, but i will share them as soon as possible ;) The grass was wet, the farmer was pushing out junk (form cows etc.) on the whole area, and the crazyflie was exact in the path of the tractor. My dad washed the thing (with water - yes really - with water, i think its waterproof ha...

Re: Lost Crazyflie in high grass

What a luck! My mom found it - but it was in the short grass. Don't know how this could happen.. A farmer (with his machine) destroyed the motors and props but the board has no real damage except the battery connector (pushed sideways). Luckily that i have enought spare motors :D My next target: add...

Lost Crazyflie in high grass

Yes - it's true - I've lost my super Crazyflie in a 50cm high grass next to my house. :cry: I was just flying a little bit outside, small curves, some moves and then i just pushed the thrust up and i looks so cool when it speeds up into the air. Suddenly a strong wind came and i was not able to hold...

Re: welche RC Fernbedienung ausser Crazyradio

Hallo Karsten, in der FAQ (http://wiki.bitcraze.se/projects:crazyflie:faq) steht folgendes: The e-sky R/C transmitters use the nRF24L01 chip, compatible with ours, so it is possible to control the Crazyflie using the e-sky transmitters. Firmware support is in beta stage. Und hier gabs mal einen Vers...

Re: Automatic reconnect

The range of the signal is very bad, is there a hard- or softwaresolution to extend the range (more transmitter power, change antenna)?
Wich type of connector is used for the antenna? Its smaller than the normal WiFi interface used on e.g. WLAN Access Points.

Re: Automatic reconnect

I tried to choose another channel (40) and i increased the bandwith to 1Mbit and then to 2Mbit. But now it disconnects after 3 Meters, when I'm going out of my room! I get the best range with the 250kBit. Is there hack to increase the range? Maybe the range is better outside or in a large room, but ...

Automatic reconnect

Received my crazyflie yesterday, assembled it this afternoon and now I'm playing around with this funny guy. There is one problem: When i'm moving inside the house e.g. some rooms away from the Crazyradio (~12m) I get a lot of disconnects. When i connect again, it can hold the connection for a short...

Re: Android accelerometer joystick

My first try was a cheap PS-Controller, but i was not able to fly my crazyflie. So i found your post here and i like it.

This is a great app to control my crazyflie without any cable - so i can move around free (follow the fly :D).
It is very accurate, i'm using it without the accelerometers.

Re: como utilizar el crazyflie kit 10-dof and telephon andro

Not yet (but there will be a android control app), but you can control your crazyflie with a android phone over "DroidMote" (-> Just search in the forum). With this software your mobile phone turns into a wireless PS3 or Xbox - Controller. The control is very accurate and i like it to be n...
