So last week a starwars friend told me he tried flashing mousejack (https://github.com/RFStorm/mousejack) onto his crazyradio (https://wiki.bitcraze.io/projects:crazyradio:index) (this unit is without the Power Amp) but somehow during the process it fucked up and he bricked the device. Lucky him I had on hand a buspirate v3 (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate).

So I've been spending a little bit of time getting the Crazyflie and the Crazyradio to work on OS X and I wanted to share my progress and the steps taken to get here.

Firstly, it's worth noting that I have a pretty well set-up Python 2.7 dev environment on my machine due to my job as a Python dev, so as a base I'll just assume that you have Python 2.7 installed and you have it in your Path.

So, the first thing I did was to download the Python library / client from the Bitcraze repo, the exact file being cfclient-2013.4.1.tar.gz. I extracted it to my machine and ran ./bin/cfclient.  As expected, it failed and said I was missing certain dependancies, the first of which being pyusb. At this point I just did `pip install pyusb`. Don't do this. Instead, get this version from Sourceforge and run `./setup.py install`.

The next thing it needed was pygame, I tried `pip install pygame` but that was missing a load of dependancies, so I found a binary version, which you can get here. I remember having to fiddle around with PyQT and SIPS, but I can't recall whether I had to actually install them from source in the end, if I did, then the downloads I used were PyQT and SIPS.

At this point, my GUI was loading when I ran `./bin/cfclient`, which was great, but I was unable to actually detect my Crazyflie with my Crazyradio. A quick install of libusb fixed this issue and I can now connect to my Crazyflie and see the sensor data coming in.

The next step is to get my Xbox 360 controller to work and to get the input routed through to the Crazyflie via the Crazyradio. I think a lot of this work is already done (as it works on Windows), I just need to make some compatibility modifications to get it working on OS X.
