+====== Bitcraze Virtual Machine ======
+In order to easily get going with the development of Bitcraze projects we have pre-configured a virtual machine that can be imported into [[https://www.virtualbox.org/|Oracle VirtualBox]]. It contains pre-requisites needed for development and usage of the projects at Bitcraze.
+<WRAP center round info>
+//**Note**//
+The virtual machine can also be imported into [[http://www.vmware.com/products/player/|WM Player]] however you will then have to install the [[https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_newguest_tools_linux.html#wp1118025|guest tools]] by yourself.
+</WRAP>
+If you would like to create your own virtual machine instead of downloading ours, then have a look at [[projects:virtualmachine:create_vm|these intructions]]. **NOTE:** These instructions are deprecated since the VM is now created with a script instead. It's kept as referens for now.
+**Please note:** All the instructions here (and on sub-pages) are always updated to match the latest available version of the VM and might not be valid for earlier versions.
+====== Download ======
+You can download the VM using one of the link below (torrents preferred):
+  * Bitcraze VM 2016-06 (torrent) ([[http://files.bitcraze.se/dl/Bitcraze_VM_2016-06.ova|direct download]])  ([[https://mega.nz/#!XJw2kDya!48mCn7rw-Or1E-jnA-5FYFdqGm5xe4gzmdsM87bgm24|Mega]])
+  * Bitcraze VM 0.8 ([[http://files.bitcraze.se/dl/Bitcraze_VM_0.8.ova.torrent|torrent]]) ([[http://files.bitcraze.se/dl/Bitcraze_VM_0.8.ova|direct download]]) ([[https://mega.nz/#!XdYnDI6R!wp5mSKoaBIyPd0aWds6EhInZNnKy9eHC2LM1DzqYacc|Mega]])
+====== VM info ======
+The [[https://github.com/bitcraze/bitcraze-vm|GitHub repository for the Bitcraze VM]] contains information on how the machine is set up and what comes pre-installed.
+====== HOW-TOs ======
+===== Update all the projects =====
+If you would like to update to the latest version from GitHub for all the projects you can either use the short-cut on the desktop (//Update all projects//) or run the following command:
+<code>
+/home/bitcraze/bin/update_all_projects.sh
+</code>
+===== Run the Crazyflie PC client =====
+If you would like to fly the Crazyflie then you should to the following:
+  * Insert the controller and Crazyradio and pass them to the VM. In VirtualBox this is done by right-clicking on the USB icon in the bottom left hand of the screen and selecting the Crazyradio and the controller
+  * Start the cfclient either by using the short-cut on the desktop (//Crazyflie PC client latest//) or by running the following command: <code>/home/bitcraze/projects/crazyflie-pc-client/cfclient</code>
+  * Press the //Connect// button and select the URI starting with //radio// and then press //Connect//
+**PLEASE NOTE:** If no controller is passed to VirtualBox the default controller will be the //VirtualBox USB Tablet//. This device together with the default controller mapping will set the thrust depending on where the mouse-pointer is on the screen. Make sure to check that there's no thrust **before** connecting to the Crazyflie.
+===== Build the Crazyflie firmware =====
+Running the following commands will build the firmware which can be flashed with the wireless bootloader. For updating the Crazyflie use the resulting //cflie.bin//.
+<code>
+cd ~/projects/crazyflie-firmware
+make CLOAD=1 DEBUG=0
+</code>
