Hello, And in advance thanks for any help you can give.
A few weeks ago i decided to buy a quadcopter kit, I wanted to make
something while getting something that i've wanted for a while. I saw a kit
on Amazon and it was a fair price and seemed to have everything that was
required to make a basic quadcopter and it also had a camera gimble and
that was a bonus.
Item i bought
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B011BBLX3O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
When it arrived I made sure that everything was in the box and noticed that
the Mini-CD that were the instructions was snapped. I contacted the
supplier and they sent me a few instructions but they haven't helped.
I constructed the body and looked online to make sure that all the cabling
was correct (took a while) but everything looks ok, and I've bound the
transmitter to the receiver and that seems to work fine.
When power up the quadcopter it beeps 3 times then a single longer beep.
I can't seem to power up the motors, They turn slightly when they beep but
i can't seem to get the transmitter to turn on the motors.
I'm not sure but I did install Mission Planner and try to update the
firmware and it seems to work but when i enter the terminal I get a lot of
random characters as shown in the file I've attached to this plea for help.
If anyone has anything that I could try I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks for your time,
Gareth Jones
