You nailed it. Some of the allen motor mounts were too long and rubbed up against the coils. Thank you! Now on to PID adjustments for days... :)

Can you elaborate on that? I calibrated the flight controller in Betaflight since it is a little tilted due to the fact that it has a couple connectors on the bottom so that tilts the flight controller a bit. This was similar in my last setup though.

Thank you for asking for clarification - I realized that didn't make much sense and edited my post. Let me know if that makes more sense now. As mentioned, I ran continuity on the wiring and it all seems to be fine. The stuttering is kind of weird and systematic - it doesn't necessarily make me...

Hello, I built a quadcopter that ran just fine but wanted to make some modifications. The XT60 connector had some crimps in place and I wanted it to be more flexible so I soldered the negative wires of the ESC's together going into the XT60, and the positive wires of the ESC's together into the...

That did it! It was parallel_PWM indeed. The flight controller was the issue, but that video shows how to connect IO_1 and IO_2. Terrific. Thank you to the both of you. Now, after I set up the subtrims and end-points, and calibrated ESC's via Betaflight - is there anything else I need to do...

The receiver (ia-6) does not support PPM though. I'm pretty sure it should be parallel PWM

I'd like to keep the receiver if possible, instead of buying a new one just yet. I'm assuming it should be working but we are just not getting the settings down right. This is for a project in school and we are limited on time and budget (we need to be up and running for the showcase next...

My apologies, my memory played tricks on me. It was set to AETR1234 and that is not working. What more, the video discusses running PPM, and Jackson is saying that my receiver (FS ia-6) is not compatible with PPM. Also, I just realized that the ESC/motor configuration I'm running is PWM, not...

That video kept the channel mapping to the default Beta flight 1234AETR which isn't working.

Can I run the ESCs as PPM but have the controller talk to the receiver not in PPM ? When I get a chance, I'll try Oneshot125 again and see if the motors run via USB connection that way. Still doesn't solve my receiver issues I'm still uncertain about the channel settings as well. Is my wiring...

I'm not sure I follow. Initially, I thought I use the 8-pin connection only, and the other ones are for telemetry, which I don't have. Here is the manual for the Emax F3 Aero. And here is my current setup, along with the cables that came with the flight controller. I placed the 3-wire...

This one. Skyline F3. Flashed with SPRACINGF3 3.0.1 via BetaFlight (hopefully that's the right firmware for it :)) Let me know if I can provide you with any more information. I appreciate your help Renov8r. KoMoDo

Thank you. The video shows it as AETR1234 which is what the default setting is and it's not working. The controller also has an output option for i-bus and it's set to channel 1. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I also enabled PPM (which was off previously). Is there a right...

Hello, I am building a quadcopter as part of a project in school. I am trying to configure it using Betaflight but am encountering some difficulties. The default ESC/Motor setting was Oneshot125 but I was having difficulties with that, so I switched it to PPM and so far I had all the motors...
