Like we wrote last week we are busy with a lot of administrative stuff (box design, component sourcing, answering emails etc). But we managed to do a few commits to the crazyflie-pc-client during the week. We have also started preparing a virtual machine appliance that contains everything needed for development and flying. The idea is to make it easier for anyone that doesn’t want to bother about the pre-requisites. If you download Virtual Box or VMware Player, import the virtual machine appliance and pass the Crazyradio/USB game-controller into the virtual machine then you are ready to fly and do development.
If you missed the pre-order, don’t worry. The Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter Kit will be back in stock shortly after the last pre-orders has shipped. But we plan to split the special pre-order bundles so they will become three separate products: Crazyflie Nano Quadcopter Kit (6- and 10-DOF), Crazyradio USB dongle and the 2.4 GHz antenna.
sounds great
Is splitting it up going to increase the price? And if so by how much? Thanks! Should have pulled the trigger on the pre-order
Missed the pre-order by one day. Very sad.
The virtual machine image will be so nice. Way to go on that! Waiting for crazyflie preorder to show up but would love to start playing with the virtual image before the hardware ships. If you need a beta tester let me know! :D
i think you mean “let us know” ;)
