Configure input device problem

[TylerStorm]

Hello! I have an xbox controller hooked up to the client. It's recognized and will "control" the crazyflie, but I can't get it configured. When I hit detect, a prompt comes up asking to move or press button/joystick, but nothing ever happens. And, the current configuration is terrible.

Thanks!

You can try the workaround posted here, but it looks like there's a fix in Github for the client already, so maybe you just want to update your repository clone if you have one...

How do i implement this fix to the PC Client?

That's right! Just clone the GitHub repository and make the develop branch the active one:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-clients-python.git
cd crazyflie-clients-python
git checkout develop
python ./bin/cfclient

Sorry for the late reply.
I am not that familer with how python works, as i am more use to c#.
Would it not just be easier to re post a new exe file for download.

I don't think so as there a few branches. I was able to get the Python envrionment to work on my Windows XP PC without too much trouble by following the wiki: https://wiki.bitcraze.io/doc:crazyflie:dev:env:python If you have a linux evironment or a later version of Windows I have no doubt it would be even easier. Once the environment is setup with the necesary dependancies I then just download the zip package for the branch/es that I want to run.
