absoloodle37 included URL for software to move files from Win PC to RPi

 -the new .json file is not located in the Program Files(x64)/cfclient/input folder along with all the other default .json files; it's actually located in a hidden folder in your home directory.  Use the run... command from the start menu to get to it.  Type C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\cfclient\input\ to get to the right location of your new .json file -the new .json file is not located in the Program Files(x64)/cfclient/input folder along with all the other default .json files; it's actually located in a hidden folder in your home directory.  Use the run... command from the start menu to get to it.  Type C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\cfclient\input\ to get to the right location of your new .json file
  
--copy your new .json file into the correct RPi folder: /crazyflie-pc-client/conf/input/ Getting your customized .json file from your windows pc to your raspberry pi can be tricky.  Emailing it to yourself and accessing it using a RPi internet browser (like Midori) won't work because most email sites (hotmail, Gmail, etc.) require Java to access and RPi can't use Java.  USB flash drives need to be formatted correctly and that's a pain.  Not sure if you can ssh into your RPi from your Windows machine and copy the file over somehow using a Linux command.  Found a solution if you have access to a Mac-- install MacPorts on your Mac (http://www.macports.org/install.php) and your RPi will show up magically in the finder window on your Mac.  On your windows machine, copy your new .json file to a flash drive and plug it into your Mac. Then you can just drag/drop your new .json file from the flash drive into the /crazyflie-pc-client/conf/input/ folder using your Mac (thanks to MacPorts).  +-copy your new .json file into the correct RPi folder: /crazyflie-pc-client/conf/input/ Getting your customized .json file from your windows pc to your raspberry pi can be tricky.  Emailing it to yourself and accessing it using a RPi internet browser (like Midori) won't work because most email sites (hotmail, Gmail, etc.) require Java to access and RPi can't use Java.  USB flash drives need to be formatted correctly and that's a pain.  Try using WinSCP to move files from your Windows PC to the RPi: (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php) I also found a solution if you have access to a Mac-- install Netatalk on your Mac (http://gettingstartedwithraspberrypi.tumblr.com/post/24398167109/file-sharing-with-afp-and-auto-discovery-with-bonjour) and your RPi will show up magically in the finder window on your Mac.

 +<code>sudo apt-get install netatalk</code>

 +Verify netatalk was installed successfully on your RPi by checking the Finder window on your Mac for a "Raspberry Pi" shared drive. On your windows machine, copy your new .json file to a flash drive and plug it into your Mac. Then you can just drag/drop your new .json file from the flash drive into the /crazyflie-pc-client/conf/input/ folder using your Mac (thanks to Netatalk).  
  
 -the cfheadless client on RPi may not recognize the same controller channel "id" numbers that were correct for your .json file when it worked on your Windows machine.  Mine didn't recognize the roll command, so when I flew, the CF just had pitch, yaw, and thrust using the controller sticks--no roll, but the right trigger would roll the CF hard to the right.  Using nano <my xbox config file>.json, I viewed/edited my .json file to identify which "id" was associated with the Right trigger and swapped it with the roll "id" number:  Had to change the roll "id" from 4 to 0 and whatever input was associated with 4, I changed the "id" of that one to 0.  Bottom line: If your .json file isn't controlling your CF correctly, experiment with the "id" numbers in your .json file.  Just remember not to duplicate any "id" numbers.  A number can only be used once in the file. -the cfheadless client on RPi may not recognize the same controller channel "id" numbers that were correct for your .json file when it worked on your Windows machine.  Mine didn't recognize the roll command, so when I flew, the CF just had pitch, yaw, and thrust using the controller sticks--no roll, but the right trigger would roll the CF hard to the right.  Using nano <my xbox config file>.json, I viewed/edited my .json file to identify which "id" was associated with the Right trigger and swapped it with the roll "id" number:  Had to change the roll "id" from 4 to 0 and whatever input was associated with 4, I changed the "id" of that one to 0.  Bottom line: If your .json file isn't controlling your CF correctly, experiment with the "id" numbers in your .json file.  Just remember not to duplicate any "id" numbers.  A number can only be used once in the file.
