- 
-===== Connecting ===== 
-There's two ways to connect to a Crazyflie, either by searching for Crazyflies and selecting one or by directly connecting to the previously connected one. Either two options are available from the menus (//Crazyflie->Connect to Crazyflie// or //Crazyflie->Quick connect//) or directly from the toolbar ([[doc:crazyflie:client:pycfclient:index#main_ui|details]]). For more information on the Crazyflie URIs show in the list have a look [[doc:crazyflie:api:python:index?#uniform_resource_identifier_uri|here]].

-If you search for Crazyflies the following dialog will be shown:
