Getting started with the Crazyflie 2.0

Recently began to assemble their own small four-axis, Bitcraze official online Some assembly guidance, very good experience assembly and some four-axis PCB pin configuration, specific assembly, can be crossing network video operations, links as follows:

1, out of the box including the device (unpacking)

The Crazyflie 2.0 packet contains the following items, make sure so you had all of the them before you start assembling.
(1) 1 x Crazyflie 2.0 Control Board with all components mounted
(2)5 x CW Propellers
(3)5 x CCW Propellers
(4)6 x Motor Mounts
(5)1 x LiPo Battery (240mAh)
(6)5 x coreless DC Motors

(8)2 x Long expansion connector pins (1x10, 2mm spacing, mm long)
(9)1 x Battery holder Expansion Board

2. Test before starting assembly (testing)

(1) Before you start assembling anything, run the power on self-test by connecting the Crazyflie 2.0 to a UUSB power so Urce. The LEDsM1 andM4would indicate the result of the test. If theM4LED blinksGREENfive times fast, then the test has passed.

(2)If The self-test fails, then theM1LED Blink 5 times FastRED, then pauses and does it again. Go to ourSupport ForumTo get help.

Note: The location of the M1 M4 LEDs can be seen from the figure below.

4, Propeller and performance (Propeller and performance)

Here's a detailed view of how to attach the propellers to the Crazyflie 2.0. Propellers is difficult to manufacture well balanced and the vibration they cause can decrease the performance as they AF Fect the sensor readings. The Crazyflie 2.0 then becomes "nervous" (hard-to-control) and the propellers sound a lot. ThereforeBalancingThe propellersIs a key thingTo get the best performance. We have put together a guideBalance the propellerswhich we highly recommend to do.

A great-to-get started is by using the contains most of the development environments already inst Alled and ready to go. Just download it, start it in your favorite VM manager and your ready to go.

If we want to develop ourselves, we can see the virtual box VM VM0.6 from their wiki, download it directly with virtual box, then we can compile and download the virtual machine, add our own code and enjoy the fun of the mini-craft.
