Hello everyone,

I ran into some problems during the setup of the connection so I'd like to ask for some help if I may.
First all the data:

OS:
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x86_64

Cfclient:
Version 2024.7.1

CrazyRadio:
Firmware Version 99.55
RED and GREEN LED light up when connecting to the device, "lsusb" command show following message:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1915:7777 Nordic Semiconductor ASA Bitcraze Crazyradio (PA) dongle

Scan of the Crazyflie device show terminal output:

Crazyflie:
boots up as usual

At first I tried with WIndows, than with WSL and now I installed ubuntu via dual-boot to my system while following the instructions on the tutorial pages.

What should be my next step to establish a connection between the crazyradio and the crazyflie 2.1?

Thanks

The log does not show anything abnormal.

What happen when you click "scan" in the client? Does the RED LED of the radio light up?

One reason for the Crazyflie not showing up in the list after a scan can be that the address is not set to the default one. To check the address of your Crazyflie you should connect it to the client using the USB port. Then, when connected to it, in connect/configure 2.x, you can see and change the address. The default address the client is scanning on is 0xe7e7e7e7e7.

Thank you for the fast response, It somehow worked for me now.

The radio was just fine. The problem was with the address. The radio couldn't detect the Crazyflie WITH the default address of 0xE7E7E7E7E7 but only with the specified address at the end, like for example 0xE7E7E7E701. But I don't know why though.

This does not sound like the same problem, I suggest you make a new thread with more details.

Interesting details for the new discussion thread would be if you can configure when connecting via the radio, what OS you are using and what version of the client and Crazyflie firmware.
