G+_Mr ROKnBOK Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Does anyone know what this symptom my stem from? I just fitted my KH250 with a FLIP32+ and calibrated the ESC (four times now). When I spin up the motors through the BaseFlight config they all spin-up evenly. However, when I spin up the motors using my FlySky FS-T6, motor #1 takes longer to start (other 3 motors at 1100+ rpm before #1 will even spin up to 996 rpm), and it won't reach max rpm of 2000. If I switch the ESC's of motors #1 & #2 at the FLIP32+, motor #2 will start acting in the sluggish/slow manner. So, that makes me think there's a problem with the signal being sent out of motor-channel-#1 on the FLIP32+ (although I don't know how to verify that assumption). Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on here? Are there any settings that would control the responsiveness of a single motor? Perhaps in the CLI? I'm a noob who will be very grateful for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mr ROKnBOK Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Wayne Hobbins, I'm not certain I understand what you mean in your instructions to calibrate with the transmitter. When I calibrated using the TX (transmitter, I presume?), I did it one ESC at a time: power off; connect ESC to RX channel #3 (throttle); throttle up full; power on; ESC beeps; throttle down full; ESC beeps; disconnect power; repeat with other ESCs. In your directions I don't understand how to "bind to RX" without power applied. How does that work? Where is the RX getting power from when the battery is disconnected? FWIW: I've also tried calibrating all ESCs at once through the CLI with the same problematic results. Perhaps I've followed your directions without knowing? It flies, but wants to drift slightly back and to the right. Could that be a result of not calibrating the accelerometers on a completely level surface? As a last resort (because I'm lazy enough not to want to learn new software), I'll try flashing the board to CleanFlight. Before that, if I have no success with other methods, I'll try re-flashing BaseFlight and report my findings. Thanks for the suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mr ROKnBOK Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wayne Hobbins, thanks for that video. Very informative! I finally got it to hover (without drifting) by adjusting the trim on the accelerometer via the TX today and took it out for a FPV test-flight. It flew well apart from pilot errors. Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mr ROKnBOK Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 UPDATE: I flashed the firmware with an older DEV version (but still newer than the newest STABLE build) and the issues I had with the motors resolved itself. Thanks to all for your replies. I've learned things :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
