This is an old revision of the document!


Intro

Below are some common problems/answers.

Troubleshooting

This is probably due to a bad radio-connection (using same channel as WiFi?) or it can be due to that the Crazyflie has been pluged/unplugged to the charger as this causes the radio chip to hang (intended to be fixed in SW soon).

When I try to take off there seems to be no lift on one/or more motors

Most of the time this is either due to the fact that there's dirt (like hairs) stuck around the axis of the motor between the motor house and the propeller or that the propeller is too close to the motor so there's friction between the two. If neither helps check that the propeller is attached in the right way.

The radio reception is really bad

If the linkspeed is set to 2Mbit switch it to 250Kbps. This will normally increase/stabilize the radio reception. Since there are other devices (link WiFi) that might run on the same 2.4GHz channel try switching to a different channel for the quadcopter.

I have broken motors/propellers/mounts can I get spare parts?

As soon as the quadcopters are available for purchase we will also have spare part kits available containing propellers, motors and motor mounts.
