Low unicast receive rate & Unexpected number of broadcast packets

[Flash-Hu]

We made a test with two crazyflies but it shows that the control is unstable. The commands sent to crazyflies are like that:

cf4: (1,0,0) takeoff (1,0,0.5) goTo (1, 1,0.5) goTo (1,0,0.5) goTo (1, 1,0.5) goTo (1,0,0.5) ...... land
cf5: (0,0,0) takeoff (0,0,0.5) goTo (0,-1,0.5) goTo (0,0,0.5) goTo (0,-1,0.5) goTo (0,0,0.5) ...... land

However, some crazyflie may keep hovering after goTo command was sent.

We have noticed some warnings in terminal log like:

• [all] Motion capture rate off (#: 4, Avg: 101.1, Min: 81.7, Max: 139.3)
• [cf4] Unexpected number of unicast packets. Sent: 1162. Received: 22434
• [cf4] Unexpected number of broadcast packets. Sent: 106. Received: 377

but we don't know how to fix it. What problem could it be related to?

Hi, thanks for the detailed report.

There are known issues with the communication (lost packets), which explain the behavior of a drone not executing a command. Possible solutions (in order of preference):

1. Use the cflib backend (rather then the default cpp) backend. This is a bit slower, but has no known communication issues.
2. Switch to Crazyradio PA (i.e., the older version of the Crazyradio). Crazyradio 2 has known bugs especially with respect to broadcasts (only used with the cpp backend, so if you use the cflib backend there should be no issues).
3. Use a PC with Intel chipset (the probability on lost packets for AMD machines seems higher in our experiments).

If you want to use two radios, make sure that you change the second URI to radio://1/90/2M/E7E7E7E705, otherwise you use a single radio that constantly has to change channels. If you want to use a single radio, make sure to use the same channel.

Thanks for your answer! Here are the feedback for these solutions:

1. We tried ros2 launch crazyflie_examples launch.py script:=hello_world backend:=cflib with one crazyflie, but it's even worse: the crazyflie usually cannot successfully take off. It flies up and down, and sometimes even crashes into the ceiling.
   However, if we use two terminals(terminal1: ros2 launch crazyflie launch.py backend:=cflib, terminal2: ros2 run crazyflie_examples hello_world), cflib works well for one or two crazyflies.
   Then why does ros2 launch crazyflie_examples launch.py script:=hello_world backend:=cflib not work even for one crazyflie? We didn't realize that it could be a problem because ros2 launch crazyflie_examples launch.py script:=hello_world seems well for one crazyflie.

2. It works! We made several tests with a single radio using two terminals(2.0/PA + cpp/cflib), and only 2.0+cpp doesn't work.

3. We use PC with 6x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz.

And sorry for the typo. Actually the URI in our test is radio://1/90/2M/E7E7E7E705. We also made some tests using a single radio (cf4: radio://0/80/2M/E7E7E7E704, cf5 radio://0/80/2M/E7E7E7E705) which works fine.

Thanks for the feedback! For 1., I open issue #570. I assume it is some sort of race condition where the server is not quite ready when the user-script starts.

Hi and sorry for my late reply. I haven't had the time to look at this due to ROSCon, but I'll need to ofcourse try this for myself. Perhaps the script is being executed too quickly before certain things are ready.

Let's continue on the issue
