Param set error with cfclient
NelsenEW opened this issue · 9 comments
I am currently using esp-drone branch from crazyflie-lib-python, crazyflie-clients-python and January master version for the esp-drone firmware.
I was able to communicate with a custom esp32 drone for logging, visualization and plotting.
In addition, the initial parameters given on the cfclients looks correct, as I have double checked it with the firmware.
However, when I tried to change the value of the parameters with RW flag, there is red label on the entire row for that particular parameter.
Is there any way to fix this?
Hi @NelsenEW, thanks for your report. This is a known issue usually caused by UDP packet loss, you can try to clear the cache of cfclient and reconnect to Wi-Fi for testing. BTW, when you try to modify multiple parameters, please wait for the first complete (acked) before doing another one...
As the esp32-s2 USB worked now, I will add USB support for a more stable connection in the near future.
Okay, I am currently using an esp32s1 not s2, I will try the method suggested. Anyway, (not related to issue) do you have plan to develop camera interface code for s2?
@NelsenEW The current esp-drone can't handle flight control and the camera works simultaneously, because of the limited computing and memory resource of single-core esp32-s2. Future esp32-s3 maybe can handle that, I will try it then. There is no chip named esp32s1, I guess you're talking about esp32, which has no enough pins to add a DVP camera (esp-drone need 20 pins, DVP camera need another 12 pins, 32 in total).
I have developed a custom hardware with esp32 and camera interface, it is known that esp32-s from AI-thinker can interface with camera. I have tested my custom board with camera, and it is working great using the code CameraWebServer.ino. Similarly, the esp-drone firmware is also working with the custom board. So I am wondering if it is possible to do that with esp32-s/ esp32.
I have tried deleting 3 different cache folders(pycache) located in cfclient, utils, and UI. Unfortunately, I still encounter the same error. Is there anything that I missed?
@leeebo, I am using custom board with ESP32-S processor (the one on AI-thinker), but I have tested with the esp android app and it is able to fly. May I ask which cache are you referring to? Is it the __pycache__?
@NelsenEW In dir ~/.config/cfclient, you can delete it to empty.
BTW, tested with the latest commit 2d28372b, the log and param module seems introduced some bug, I will fix it later. You can test the cfclient with earlier one like c73a87908.
@leeebo I just tried deleting the cache folder inside cfclient, apparently, it does not work. Also, I just realize that the current repository that I used is the 28 dec 2020 repository. I suppose esp32 may work differently to esp32s2 version, so I am not sure whether the repository does work.
