Assembly
Assembling your Crazyflie 2.1 will probably take less than 10 minutes, but there are a few
pitfalls. So make sure to follow the instructions below!
Unpacking the box
Start by unpacking the box. It should contain the following items:
● 1 x Crazyflie 2.1 control board
● 1 x 250mAh LiPo battery
● 5 x 7mm DC coreless motor (1 spare)
● 6 x 7mm motor mounts (2 spare)
● 1 x Foam battery pad
● 5 x CCW propellers (3 spare)
● 5 x CW propellers (3 spare)
● 1 x Battery holder deck
● 2 x Short male deck connectors
● 2 x Long male deck connectors
● 1 x micro-USB cable (48cm)
Twisting the motor wires
Start by twisting the wires of the four motors. This will reduce electronic noise and make the
wires fit better in the motor mount “hooks”.
Mount the motors in the motor mounts
Push the four motors into the motor mounts. You will need some force to insert them. It is
possible to place the motor against a table edge and press on the mount to get some more
force, however don’t press on the motor axis while inserting them as it might damage the
motor. The motor should be inserted all the way to the stop in the mount.
Attach the twisted wire
Attach the twisted wire into the two small “hooks” that are underneath the motor mount.
Insert the motor in the motor mount
Insert the motor mounts on the Crazyflie 2.1 wings. They are press fit and might need a
small amount of force. Make sure they go all the way to the stop. It’s not important which
motor you put where. After it’s been inserted, connect the motor connectors to the Crazyflie
2.1.
