I need help please !!!this is my first build Quad is bond but wont fly

[David91800]

Parts that i have
armenton chameleon frame
Runcam eagle 2
Lumenier Tx5g2r raceband 200mw video transmitter
Frsky x4r receiver
Dys f4 pro flight controller (beta flight)
30 amp little bees ESC
2300 kv emax moters
Tarnais q x7 transmitter

So this is my first build so im sorry if i dont explain something well im still learning, so my problem that im having is that my transmitter is binded to my reciver, the light on turns green when my reciver is on. But my quad wont respond, the motors wont spin at all. When i have to drone hooked up to my computer and have beta flight open, i can test the motors and they turn on just find. So i guess my question is, am i missing a step? Do i need to do something els to get my quad flying? Could i have messed up binding my transmitter? Could i possibly solder the wires in the wong spot? I can post pictures if that would help anyone.

Here's a step by step setup of Betaflight from start to finish. And yes a pic would help, specifically a close-up of your connection from your receiver to your flight controller

Thanks for the link I'll make sure to go though it
Its not letting me upload pictures it keeps saying there too big,

I have just took the newest firmware for cleanflight & noticed the min, mid & max end point are wrong in the tab.
Minimum was 1900 mid was 1000 max was 2. Just two. I got out to my area only to find I couldn't fly. Soon as I noticed & changed it I was up. Is your pdb supplying 5v to the board. Other than that is the end points. On betaflight & in blheli suite or configuration. Whichever you use.

 

[David91800]

My dys f4 flight controller is a aio bord so im not using a pdb, and yes i am getting 5v but im not sure want the other things you said were, sorry im still new to a lot of this in this hobby

In betaflight, on the configuration tab. Is end points for stick inputs.
1000 is minimum
1500 is middle
2000 is max.
But also esc's need setting to this.
So depending on if you use blheli suite or blheli configuration tool you will need to set them up also.
Like I said though I updated my cleanflight firmware & the values had changed, but my PID settings & everything else was OK.
Because I use multishot still, the esc clocks may be out even with calibration.
So I set my end points @
Min=1020
Mid=1500
Max=1980
Joshua bardwell has a good video on this.

Maybe this will help.

Ive acutely use that excited video and my whole set up is still not working, i know that my transmitter is bond to my receiver but for some reason my drone isn't responding

 

[mozquito1]

In betaflight's receiver tab does it pick up stick inputs from the Tx. Post some bright clear photos of your fcb from a few choice angles. Helps alot & saves time.

 

[David91800]

When i open beta flight's receiver tab i get no stick responses

 

[mozquito1]

Are the ports setup for rx3 and checked the box in setup or config.

 

[mozquito1]

Have you made sure the tx is set up for sbus. I took the 10channel mod for the i6 but then realised it made no difference because I only had a 6ch rx. So I took the update off and could not get Ibus or sbus to work. So I just been flying ppm.
Will get round to it soon.

 

[mozquito1]

Turn serial ON aswell I think.

 

[David91800]

How would i set up my tx for sbus? I didnt know i had to do that. And whats the difference between ppm and sbus is one easier to work with? And you mean turn serial on, on my transmitter?

 

[mozquito1]

I use the fsi6, so I don't know that one.
Ppm pwm sbus ibus are all different signal types, pwm is one signal per channel. So a 6 channel rx I 6 wires.
All the rest do it through 1 wire,
Just some better than others.
Turn serial rx on in betaflight & in ports apply rx3. That's all I got. Other than carefully go through the bind procedure again. Mine flashes with power & stays solid when Tx is on. Maybe yours is similar.

 

[David91800]

Thanks for everyone trying to help solve my problem, but everthing I've tryed so far hasn't work. Is there anything els i could try?

 

[mozquito1]

You still can't see any stuck input on the receiver tab in betaflight?
All I can suggest now is set it up for ppm see if that works. Atleast you will know if anything is working.

 

[David91800]

Yeah im still not getting any stick input. How would i go about setting up ppm

 

[mozquito1]

Try taking the wire that is in the Rx3 out & leave sbus in, if not work try the
5v ground & ppm. Are you sure the wires on the rx end are correct.
