Sky Kite. I'm sooo over the Storm Drone 6. :eek: I've moved on to bigger and better drones. Just kidding, but I am hooked because of the Storm Drone 6. This is my new baby I'm building from scratch. I should start a build blog as I have learned A LOT. Just...

The first [MODEL] > [OUTPUT] > [AUX2] should be AUX2 and the second one should be ACT.

Could it be a simple Transmitter setup issue. Maybe the control knob is not mapped to AUX2 on the receiver.

Well you definitely have it in the right spot. I would write Jacky Lee at Helipal.com and explain the situation (as simply as possible) and see what he suggests. I can tell you from having to return something to Helipal for an exchange, you're better off just buying the new part if it's under...

CaptnBly I concur that it looks as though you're one pin off from the correct placement. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Your current white wire position Needs to be here! 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 Paul

I did read that twisting the wires helps reduce interference so I did twist them and zip tied them every 6 inches or so before inserting down the CF arms. I used a vacuum to "suck" a lead string through the arm and then pulled the twisted wire harness back down and out into the main frame of the...

mm, So I went ahead and returned the BEC ESCs and Helipal is sending out the OPTO replacements today. On a separate topic, I have been reading conflicting ideas about the length of the motor wires vs battery wires to the ESC. Some say shortest possible to the ESC from the motor and some say...

Thanks for the info. I think just to be safe, I'm going for return the BEC ESCs and exchange them for the OPTO equivalent. I'll save about $20 per ESC to boot.

I am building my first hexacopter (Tarot T-960) and have purchased 6 HobbyWing Platinum Pro ESCs with BECs (thought at the time it was better to have BECs than not) to power 6 T-Motor MN4014s. My question is if I remove the red center pin from the servo cable on the ESC, will this have any...

That's awesome, glad to hear it.

Software: It won't reset your settings but it will let you see what they are set to. It will only revert to defaults if you click the restore defaults button depending on what section you are in. Cable: I suspect that extra cable is so you can connect to the gimbal in whatever config you want...

Sky Kite, I have the DJI Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal but hopefully the setup is similar.

Sky Kite, I had the exact issue and finally got a response from Helipal. The key is to calibrate the tilt knob in the NAZA assistant software simply by hooking your PC to the mini USB of the LED unit and clicking calibrate the X1 port within the RC tab (X1 Calibration "Start") then turn the...

@BigAl - I've read on other forums that the drifting in circles is due to unbalanced components on your StormDrone or the offset of your antenna settings is not set correctly. You can adjust this really easily with the BTU unit and an iPhone, otherwise hook it up to the computer via the mini-USB...

Hoping someone has a simple answer for this. I took my Storm Drone 6 GPS out for it's maiden flight with everything onboard (iOSD Mini, DJI AV 5.8 FVP transmitter, ZenMuse H3-2D gimbal with brand new GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition) and I know, probably not a good idea to test with everything on it...
