Flashing

Flashing via DFU

Howto set the Crazyflie in the DFU update mode:

1. Connect the USB cable to your Crazyflie 2.0 but not to your PC just yet...
2. Unplug the Crazyflie 2.0 battery if it is plugged in
3. Keep pressing the on/off button while inserting the USB cable in your PC
4. Hold down the button for about 5 seconds until if starts to blink faster second blink rate (1Hz), then release the on/off button
5. The Crazyflie 2.0 can now receive your new firmware... Click "Upload" in Paparazzi Cente

Flashing via BlackMagicProbe

For this you need a BMP and a 10 pin adaptor board.

Over Air

1. WIP...

Debugging

With e.g. great BlackMagicProbe JTAG adapter development can be smoother than without.

Extra

Add GNSS

A light GPS

Wifi

One can add one of thos small ESP based Wifi modules described here
