How to use the bootloader:

1. The list of firmwares should automatically be filled
• make sure you have a network connection
2. Select a firmware
• make sure you select the right one depending on which Crazyflie you want to update (CF1 or CF2).
3. Flash firmware
• for Crazyflie 1, click on "Flash firmware" and switch on the Crazyflie during the next 10 seconds.
• for Crazyflie 2, press the ON/OFF switch of the Crazyflie longer than 1.5 second until one blue LED blinks. Then release the button and both blue LEDs should blink. Then click on "Flash firmware"
4. After a successful flash the Crazyflie will automatically restart in firmware mode and is ready to use.

It's nearly impossible to brick the Crazyflie. In case of any problems during flashing, you can always try again or use the PC client to re-flash.

• Photo/Media/Files: This is required to save the firmware files on the device.
• Bluetooth connection information: This is required for connecting to Crazyflie 2.0 over Bluetooth.
• Location: This is required for Bluetooth LE scanning since Android 6.0.

Ratings and reviews

There is no stability in crazyflie while controlling with Android phone Is there ant other way to maintain its stability

OMG that is the control

This used to work, but my Moto g(8) plus refuses to connect (BLE connection timeout). This is with the cf2_nrf-2023-02 firmware.

What's new

Update compatibility for Android 12: Does not require location permission on Android 12 anymore, only Bluetooth-related permission.

Known bug: Crazyradio PA/2 connectivity does not work with latest Crazyflie firmware version.
