			== How to get flying ==
			*Start up the application

			*Insert the joystick and Crazyradio
			*Before you press connect make sure that the joystick is working as expected and that the thrust is zero. The joystick values should be visible in the flight data box under target.
			*Press Connect
			*Wait for the scanning to complete
			*Double-click the Crazyflie you want to connect to. There's one debug URI for UI testing so you should connect to the URI that begins with radio://XX/XX/XX
			*The client will now connect to the Crazyflie and handshake
			8One the handshake is done you can start flying the Crazyflie. Remember the most tricky part is the thrust so start out easy…

			The Crazyflie has four LEDs mounted, two blue, one red and one green. The two blue LEDs indicate that the system is powered and the red/green shows operation.

			When the Crazyflie is powered the two blue LEDs will be lit up and the red/gren LED will blink shortly indicating that the bootloader is executing. After this the firmware will start up.

			During firmware startup:

			Changing the yaw will make the quadcopter spin.

			Changing the yaw is normally not a good idea for beginners since this will also change what direction is forward for the quadcopter.

			The thrust is used to control the altitude of the quadcopter.
