Discussion Rules

This is the right place to come if you are having any issues that you need help to solve, questions or just want to discuss something related to the Bitcraze ecosystem. These issues may be software/firmware/mechanical/hardware related or any mix of these. To make it a bit easier for everyone to see which issues are solved and which still needs attention, there's a few guidelines to follow:

1. Only one issue per discussion: Start a new discussion for each new issue, even if you happen to have multiple issues at the moment. If you think that the issues are related then you can keep them in the same discussion.
2. Provide as much information about your problem as you can. The cfclients's debug tab (found under 'Help'>'about') can already provide handy information about your development environment and your connected Crazyflie. Copy pasting the console tab's content also helps a lot.
3. Don't bring up new issues in existing discussions: Unless you are experiencing exactly the same issue in the same circumstances as already posted in a discussion, start a new one.
4. Avoid duplicates: Use the search function and have a look at some of the subjects already, and also search our old forum. You questions might already have been answered.
5. Check the documentation first: First checkout out the tutorials or the documentation. You can also use the search engine on www.bitcraze.io.
6. Post in the right group: Support goes in Q&A, Discussions in 'General' and 'Show and Tell' is where you show off your work.
7. Use a descriptive title for your thread: This is connected to (3). Good titles makes it easier for everyone to find information.
8. In Q&A, if you have asked a question and somebody provided an answer you are satisfied with, please press 'mark as answer'.
9. Report bugs: If you know you have for sure have found a bug it's better to report it as an issue in the appropriate repo on https://github.com/bitcraze
10. Do not change the history: Don't edit old post and change the history, it makes it difficult to understand the conversation. If you want to add information to your post, add edited: and add your extra information underneath.
11. We provide support only for Bitcraze products. For own made hardware, either based on the Crazyflie, or specific hardware on your own deck, we can only give very limited support.
12. No sales: This forum is for support only and is not a market place. Trying to resell your Bitcraze product is tolerated, however we don't think that the forum is the best place for it though.
13. Be nice! Check out the discussions code of conduct
