I'm going to try doing all the suggestions from the video about how to stop your quadcopter from flipping and if the problem persists then I'll give LibrePilot a try! Thanks for the suggesstion
Because I am using OPTO ESC's, I require an external power source for both the receiver and the Flight Controller because the servo cable only has a white wire (signal) and a black wire (-). So all that is, is a female lipo connecter to a male servo connector. I then connect a small 2C lipo...
This is the power distribution board I am using. The tape on the + & - wires is where I have soldered on T-connecters in order for the ESC's to connect to the power distribution board.
In order to make the motor wires long enough to travel down the lengh of the arm, i had to cut of te bullet connectors and solder on a length of wire invetween! Could it be the soldered joints?
How do I change the rate mode, stabilization and auto-level? Where would I go?
I attached a length of thread to the motors to create an X and placed the FC in the centre of that X.
When I go to the input tab and click the box that says 'live testing', the motors spin at the same speed but once...
- I'v put the quad flat and leveled the gyro & accelerometer
- All 4 motors are spinning in the right direction
- The cables going into the CC3D are correct
- The FC itself is facing forwards
Any suggestion as to what i could try, check or change what help!
I think I may have found the problem. When I go up to 10% thrust & move the position of the CC3D, the motors react. Now I need tp find the best place to put it and where to face it.
I've done each of the above steps with no success. The cause of the problem may be due to the motors not being level with each other. I designed each component and had them 3D printed. Each motor sits on the end of each arm which is connected to the body. Therefor some arms droop down more than...
Thanks a lot! Moving the slider up fixed the issue! I still have the problem of the motors not spinning in sync! I'v calibrated the ESC's. I'v gone to configure, altitude and computed the accelerometer and gyro bias but the quadcopter still tips.
