How exactly would i go about doing that? btw I am a beginner, very new to this kind of thing :)

Hi, this isn’t really about drones, more transmitter and receiver pairs but thought you might know something about it anyway :) I am trying to run 2 brushless motors using 2 different channels from my flysky i6x transmitter and receiver. It works with the throttle channel (3) but i want to be...

New props did nothing. Realised that, even though the remote controller says the receiver has no power, the indicator light on the receiver says it is on the whole time. They seem to re-connect after the props stop spinning. Could they be interfering with the signal maybe? This is my last chance...

Looking to buy better propellors, worked out I need about 40 g thrust per motor. Which variables do I need to look for in props to get maximum thrust? Higher diameter, higher pitch? What values for these are good or bad? Thanks for all your help!

Update: Spent a while trying to optimise weight by getting rid of some of the random plastic casings on batteries etc. Gained another centimeter of Max height! :) While I was doing this i realised that the remote controller would start beeping as I flew and I found out that this was because the...

How could I add more thrust then? Better props, higher voltage battery?

All the receiver tabs look fine, I genuinely don’t know what to do. Haven’t changed any pid settings. The only other reasons I can think of is that it is too heavy, or that the fc is restricting the current to the motors somehow? Can I increase the threshold in beta flight or something? (Btw...

Hi 2 main problems for today! 1. The motors do not seem to have enough power to take off properly, it just hovers about a centimeter off the ground. It worked fine before, I removed the camera for a bit and changed the fc and now doesn’t take off even with full throttle. Checked and double...

Sorry, it’s a brushed drone that I’m making. I’m just gonna solder the wires tho

just tested motors, and found out that they all spinning in the same direction. I know that you can reverse a motor by switching the wires, but I was wondering whether I could just change the direction of certain motors inside the fc itself using betaflight. Is there an option to do this?

Hi again, All worked until I tried to hook up a permanent battery (3.7v) Now the motors just spin, no light on fc or receiver As far as I can tell, I haven’t burnt any chips on the fc or anything

Thanks so much, it’s finally working! Can’t believe it was so simple‍

Hi, I’ve finished connecting up my fc and realised that the motors do not respond when the stick is moved. I looked in betaflight and the receiver input tabs are all moving properly, and I’ve bound an arming switch and everything, but it still doesn’t work. Have tested motors separately and they...

Have you looked on the flight controllers info page to make sure your receivers signal type (eg. Ppm) is compatible with it? Are you sure the receiver wires are going into the right place on the flight controller? Some fcs have certain receiver types bound to a UART

Hi Recently bought a makerfire f3 brushed flight controller and tried to test the motors using betaflight but they didn’t work. I decided to try to hook it up to my transmitter and ppm receiver thinking that maybe it wasn’t arming or something, but still doesn’t work and the inputs from the...
