The CHUCK is basically a Un*x computer with an ARM core. The OS is very similar to Android, but you can only access it through a shell.

It is also used on the Bebop drones. Recommended reading: Bebop Hacking guide (PDF).

Getting into the shell prompt

  • turn Disco on On firmware > 1.7.0:
  • double-press the power button; first press is blinks green, second it blinks purple-blue-purple-blue
  • connect to Disco's wifi
  • telnet to 192.168.41.1

USB ports

The right USB-port supports OTG without issues.

left USB port does not seem to power devices - UNLESS you plug USB hub into it?

The USB-ports are Micro-USB AB; they are a tiny bit larger than micro B, because they are missing the chamfer. They are backwards compatible but feel less tight. This is especially a problem when flying with a Disco4g-modem connected.
