without knowing how you have your board set up, can you post a pic of it? (the black one for ON/OFF, and the #1 dip switch in the upper left corner)

@james-whitee BL is the Blue tooth linking module (you can't use your computer's native bluetooth)
RTSP: is the protocol used by the drone to transmit it's video. you do NOT have the capability to process the video on the drone, and using the FPV module with the CODRONE, you (via computer) will capture the RTSP video feed (the FPV transmits the RTSP feed via wireless network). You then do your Computer Vision processing on the frames you select and in turn can use that to make decisions of how to fly the drone.

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.

(my perspective as I only use python) You would need to have an active link to the drone, (using their BL module from a computer {a pi works}) capture the video feed, do some Computer Vision processing (i.e. openCV) to the captured frames and make assessments to what the drone needs to self correct and transmit those movements back to the drone. The drone will not be self sustaining/autonomous without a system actively processing/issuing commands. Even when done with the Arduino IDE (though the drone cannot self access its video feed, there is no pre-capture before is it broadcast via RTSP) it can do patterns, but not video processing.

Good morning @miawan1 not certain where you looked, but it is very inaccurate. There are numerous way to code the Codrone.

• Arduino
• Python
• Blockly
• Snap

A great place to start is the Codrone website. On the Codrone (Lite or Pro) product there is a link to “Learn Codrone” and it will take you to their workbench:

There are numerous sites that give examples looking through google, and there are many in this forum.

Sadly, no. The sensors aren’t sensitive enough for that. An issue I’m trying to resolve myself as I’m trying to have it fly semi autonomous, and within a bounded area, but the drone natively on its own can’t do that either. Don’t try to “calibrate” to zeroize the X/Y either. I’ve runs tests to get reliable and consistent X/Y mapping/flight and it capable. I’ve even tried landing, “calibrate” to try to reset the X/y but alas.

Here is what mine looks like

without knowing which pins you are using it is hard to gauge which pins you are referring to. Yours looks just like mine (will upload a pic when I get to my phone)

As for documentation, they have an extensive tutorial section (though it is chopped up in very small sections so there is some clicking you have to go through to complete each tutorial)

It can be found here: Starter
But Codrone Pro controller setup can be found here: Remote assembly

@lyakh there is a sensor at the bottom of the cordoned like the one in this picture. See if it is covered by any chance

as a start: how are you trying to code the CoDrone?

1. python (what I do most of my work in): Need a simple python PyCharm is good. If you search the forums I have some stuff that explain this. if I have time later this morning I may dig it up and add it to this.
2. blocky (not certain as I don't use this)
3. Arduino IDE: need the PRO version to do this as it has the controller/board that provides the communication to update the codrone.
