, but I have some problems, in the source code you provide.
in main.c&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;static void services_init(void)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;{&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;uint32_t       err_code;
ble_nus_init_t nus_init;

memset(&amp;amp;nus_init, 0, sizeof(nus_init));

nus_init.data_handler    = nus_data_handler;
nus_init.data_handler_ex = control_char_write_handler;

err_code = ble_nus_init(&amp;amp;m_nus, &amp;amp;nus_init,pre_defined_reg_data);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;}&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the ble_nus_init_t structure, there is only one element,but there are two elements in the code.&amp;quot; nus_init.data_handler_ex = control_char_write_handler&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ble_nus_init() function is also more than a parameter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excuse me, what I need to do?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My English is not good Please forgive me&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nice to see that you&amp;#39;re interested in the project!
We used the parts for the Crazyflie 1.0, which is now called Craziflie Nano it seems. Those parts work fine for 6mm motors. I think the battery for Crazyflie 2.0 is a better choice, as they are tested with more powerful 7mm motors. The same goes for the motor mounts, that are also designed for 2.0s 7mm motors.
We switched to a 320mAh, 25C LiPo battery when increasing motor size, so that&amp;#39;s also an option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hopefully I can to upload the step files within a couple of days, I&amp;#39;ll let you know when they are on GitHub. Please be aware that these parts, depending on which plastic is printed, will not tolerate crashes as well as the Crazyflie parts do and might break quite easily. Because of that, you would maybe consider buying motor mounts from crazyflie.&lt;/p&gt;

Thanks for open source it on Github ! Like you said, the powerful nRF52 can now replace my CC3D and NAZE32 boards with ease ;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you use the DC motors, motor mounts, battery and propellers from the Crazyflie 1.0 or from the Crazyflie 2.0 ? Could you also provide the step file of the 3D-printed pieces ? Thanks !&lt;/p&gt;
