			Configuration Block
			It is possible to set another channel to communicate with the Crazyflie. It can be wise to do this if there exist other wireless networks that can interfere, especially WiFi. It is also possible to permanently store the trim values for pitch and roll.

			To edit the configuration block you will have to enter bootloader mode as described in Bootloader above. Once you are connected you will see a dialog similar to the picture to the left.

			It is now possible to change:

			Pitch trim Can be programmed permanently with the trim values found to work good in the flight tab.
			Roll trim Can be programmed permanently with the trim values found to work good in the flight tab.
			Radio channel Can be set to anything between 0 and 125, correspond to a frequency from 2400MHz to 2525MHz. In most countries channel 0 to 80 is OK to use but this should be checked with you local regulations. If using 2M datarate, the copter channels should be 2MHz apart.
