Thank you. I will try the items suggested and let you know of the results.

@james-whitee There are quite a few things you need to set up on the Arduino software to be able to upload to our custom board. Check this lesson to make sure you have the board files and the right USB driver for your operating system. If none of these solutions work for you, please send a screenshot of the error. Thanks!

@robolink_leila I saw the folder this time... (faceplam...) I've tried plenty times that day, and you know... Thanks for help!

@ixmclean Thanks ! I got it !

@ixmclean said in App can't connect Codrone:

you don't pair on BLE with the drone. your phone needs to be on the drone's broadcasting wireless network. Use the app, and the app will take care of the BL handshaking/firmware transfer.

Still not working. I tried to follow the video release by Byrobot, but still doen't work. Take a look at this. I've turned on the Wi-Fi and the Bluetooth, I can't find drone through Wi-Fi.

@robolink_leila Okay, well... if there are some samples in Arduino are better, because I haven't learned Python. I have only learned C++. BUT, thanks for telling me.

@robolink_leila Got it, thanks for help!

@robolink_leila
Thank you Leila. No errors this time.

@code-y-cant-code Sorry to hear that your board is causing some issues. We are actually phasing out Snap as our block coding platform because of connectivity issues. However, just to be sure the issue is not with the board, I recommend testing the Bluetooth board with our other platforms (like Arduino or Python). If the BLE board works well then the issue may be with Snap. As an alternative, please try using Blockly, our newest platform which does not require the Bluetooth board. Please let me know if this works for you and if you can't get your Bluetooth working at all then we will set up a replacement 🙂

Hi @dallisonnh,
Please use Blockly for CoDrone 🙂 We have been in the processing of phasing out Snap!
All of our content can be found here. I recommend starting with the introduction. Hope this helps!

@natalie Yes, you can only use the app to drive it.

thanks @ixmclean! @dstarkey22 The kit does come with some extra propellers in case you need some more to ensure that you have the proper orientation 🙂

@stemcubator ,
Pairing CoDrones can be a confusing process, so I hope these steps help you successfully pair every time:

Install all the necessary software and hardware files for your operating system (tutorials are here) Open Arduino and upload the default flight controller code which can be found by navigating to File > Examples > CoDrone > Controller > FlightController. Plug in a battery into one drone and wait until they pair. You do not need to fly it. Go back into the code and change CoDrone.pair(Nearest); to CoDrone.pair(); Reupload this new code and pair to the same drone again. From now on, that controller is paired with that drone as long as students always use CoDrone.pair(); without the Nearest parameter. It's a good idea to label the pair with a colored sticker so that you know which ones are paired. Repeat for every drone.

Hope this helps!

After the Arduino IDE is installed, you need to install the CoDrone library. Open the IDE then go:
Sketch-> Include Library-> Manage Libraries

then a 2nd window will pop up and in the search bar type CoDrone. and you should see something similar to my pic:0_1572878700420_Screenshot from 2019-11-04 09-38-56.png

install that and you shoudl be able to start coding... also make sure your IDE is setup to talk to the BLE controller and have the CoDrone hardware type selected:

BLE connection:
Tools-> Port: mine is either /dev/ttyUSB0 (or ttyUSB1)

CoDrone HW:

File-> Preferences: in the "additional Board Managers" copy/paste: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobolinkInc/Robolink/master/package_rokit_index.json Tools->Boards: should now list RoKit-SmartINventro-mega32_v1 and v2. Select the V2.

Once both steps are done you should see the bottom right hand corner of your screen looking like this pic: 0_1572879039430_Screenshot from 2019-11-04 09-36-54.png

Hope that helps

@cs From the images, I can see that the fourth connector is connected backward. Could you try again after rewiring? It may solve your issue. If it seems like all of the controls are inverted, you can refer to step 6 of the build guide to review the wiring.

@nks
It sounds like one of your motors is dislodged or something is stuck in the motor. This can happen after a crash. Carefully check all of the motors by removing the propellers and checking for hair. Remove the motors as well and check that the motor wires are touching the contacts. Here is a video tutorial. 🙂

If your CoDrone is still not flying then swap the motor with another one on your CoDrone. Sometimes one arm will hold a better fit for a particular motor. Make sure to switch the propellers as well to maintain the proper orientation. Finally, calibrate the drone one more time in a well-lit room over a non-reflective surface.

Let me know if you continue to have any issues!

@robolink_leila I did install that already, but tried installing it again three times (had Security & Privacy open just in case), and still get the same problem

@ixmclean We don't offer any lessons or support for the FPV extension, but OpenCV.org has great documentation and tutorials to get you started on what you're looking for

@isteam We received your package and discovered your battery was faulty. We included a brand new one and will be sending it out tomorrow morning. Sorry about that!

anyone know
