CrazyFlie working on Pandora (yet)?

[kingoddball]

Hello!
 

Just asking a quick question about CrazyFlie.

I remember seeing a thread awhile back about someone asking if it's possible but I was unsure if this was ever worked on.

Is this possible to use CrazyRadio?

I'm getting one for my birthday from my wife and I'd like to use the Pandora as the controller

Man Toys!

I don't know, but it would look straightforward enough to give it a go once you've got the hardware. It's all pretty vanilla python stuff.

Nop, doesn't work.

You need to connect the CrazyRadio to USB Hub connected to Pandora.

One of my project (too many actually) is to connect the radio component of the CrazyRadio on the ext port (if possible) and create SDL application to pilot the CrazyFlie.

Ah! Thanks and that sounds like a brilliant use for the EXT port! Keep us updated.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I ran the cfclient (python) on the Pandora.

The CrazyRadio is connected to the HUB.

Don't have finished to solder the Crazyflie parts (motors) but "Connect" operation to Crazyflie works.

 

[kingoddball]

Wow! how did you manage that?

You able to throw up a quick and basic guide?

I have to create a PND first.

But I have to prepare a French exhibition to expose Pandora.

Will give update asap.

 

[kingoddball]

Wow! Thanks. Sounds awesome

Manage to start python client with a PS3 controller and get connected to the crazyflie.

First try, lots of popup erros when starting the client and the lag is too important. Action on the controller seems to be sent to crazyflie after to much time.
