Crazyflie cannot fly with controller

[francesco2706]

Hello!

I'm trying to fly the crazyflie, via cfclient and controller.
I installed the latest version of cfclient on windows 11 and updated the crazyflie firmware. As soon as I try to fly the crazyflie, I notice that the propellers spin for a few seconds and then turn off. From the console I get the following error:

Crazyflie 2.0 is up and running!

I also attach the photo of the crazyflie as the deck is present.

spin for a few seconds

Do you mean actual seconds, or just the startup spin?

It looks like it is failing to read the decks you attached. Can you verify that you attached them the correctly?

I mean the startup spin. In the cmd prompt I can see the following error:

Can you share the information in the 'Help'->'About'->'Debug' window? Can you also check your cflib version?
