Hello everyone,


First time post, first 250FPV build. My setup consist of


1 x ZMR250 CF Frame

4 x DYS 1806 2300kva motors

4 x SimonK 12 Amp ESC

1 x Multirotormania Power Distribution Board

1 x Dragon32 Acro Flight controller(Naze32 clone)

1 x Sony 600tvl super HAD board camera

1 x Boscam 305 Video Receiver

1 x Boscam TS5823 Video Transmitter

1 x HK 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx + RX V2-Mode 2

1 x Turnigy nano-tech 1600mah 3cell 11.1

1 x 7” video display

4 x 5030 plastic propellers

1 x XT60 power connector


Since I am new to all this, I decided to try and spend as little as money possible, thinking that might have been a mistake on the HK 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx + RX V2-Mode 2 , besides the point. I am posting today because I have a problem. I recently finished building my first 250FPV quad, yeeeeee. After hooking up the flight controller to the receiver and the esc’s as well to the flight controller, I then plugged in power and turned on transmitter, throttled up and unfortunately nothing. Roll, pitch, yawl, still nothing, nothing seems to be relaying/receiving the signal. I rebound the transmitter to the receiver and still nothing, which I do know they are bound, I hooked up a servo and tested it and it worked, seems not to be the problem. After messing with the 3 wire servo connectors, swapping, replacing, jiggling, etc. nothing still. After doing research I discovered the cleanflight app. I then connected my quad to my computer and connected to the cleanflight app. To my avail, it recognized my quad, receiver, motors, etc. I then proceeded to use the motor testing tab, which seem to work fine, all spin and seem to be in the correct direction. I then started looking at the receiver tab on the cleanflight app, noticing everything seems to be working as well, all corresponding with what I am doing on the transmitter, showing up in real time on the cleanflight app, throttle, yawl , etc.. So now I am stuck, I cannot figure out why my transmitter seems to be sending the signal to the receiver, which sends signal to flight controller, but it is not relaying it to the esc’s, Hahahah, if that makes any since, sorry new to all this again. Is it requird to arm the board or something of the manner? I desperately need help, as I have no one here in town that I know, could help me with this issue. I greatly appreciate any ideas or comments ASAP, as I would like to go out and fly this awesome little machine.

Thank you so much for any help


Thanks

Hi Brandon what was it then please post as it will help others, was it throttle range in gui its normally 1000 low and high is 2000
 
The problem was the arming process. I never made a correct way to arm the board. The throttle range is set correct . I now have a problem trying to take off with quad. Motors spinning in the correct directions, props on the correct motors, but the quad does not lift. It will tilt and really do nothing. When I hold the quad very carefully with props on , I can feel the motors almost running at different speeds, not do to the fact it is not flat. Upon hooking it back up to cleanflight app and looking at the motors via computer, I noticed when I throttle up with transmitter the motors spin at different rates, even while sitting flat and everything as been calibrated. When I use the test motor option on the app they all spin at the same rate, lost again I am, haha. Any options or ideas would be greatly appreciative, thanks so much
 
Thanks holtneil for your info. I just tried the baseflight app and the exact same problem continues. All the motors fluctuate and do not stay in the same speed when I thrott up on tx. Motor test on both app (baseflight and cleanflight) work fine.
 
That is so strange , Do you have or know any one that has a FCB you can try , there has been a few boards that are duff you may have a bad board ,I would go to the seller and say the board is not working right and every other part tests ok so you feel the board is duff
 
I unfortunately do not know any one with anothe FCB. I have a couple different FCB coming in the mail sometime, KK 2.0 and openpilot cc3d, which I will try and see. I am hoping that this board isn't bad though, I will keep experimenting and trying other things I guess
 
OK I know its a pain but just try the KK and see how motors behave , If it is a bad board they need to replace it , you have right you know , but tell then now ,so they can start to work on a replacement for you
 
Hi I was thinking is the P gain to high some times on default is 100+ way to high reduce to 20 test with props off if motor now work ok bring up P till it has a fast wobble then reduce 5 points at a time till it stops, then do the same with the I gain
