Parts involved
Flight Controller - Acro Naze 32
Receiver - FrSky D4R-II
Radio - Taranis
Put together my first quadcopter. plugged/soldered everything together before applying power for the first time. When applying power I got magic smoke from one of my kiss ESC's. I've removed that ESC and while waiting on repalcement parts I was trying to get my radio set up. I only mention the missing esc and motor because it may be related, though I'm not sure, there was no smoke or smell from the flight controller and looked closely at my soldering, and there appears to be nothing shorted. I hope, and don't think my FC got ruined. When plugged into cleanflight, the accelerometer works fine, and I can force the motors to spin by playing around with mincommand=1980 in the CLI
I've paired up my Taranis with the D4R-II by hitting the pair button on the taranis, and then holding the FR button on the receiver while plugging in the battery. Then when powering on both devices again I get solid green light on the receiver, and the radio is getting telemetry (RSSI, and probably battery level too). I was planning on testing to see if my motors spin the right way, but I can't seem to get any signal from the radio to the flight controller. The D4R-II has the jumper pin across ch3 and ch4 to enable PPM. its ch1, negative and positive are plugged into the first 3 slots in the naze (negative wire to the blank spot on the naze, positive to the big dot, and signal to the ch1 on the naze).
I have fiddled around with commands in cleanflight, and this may be related to the issue. When I have the battery and USB plugged in, and the Taranis seemingly paired properly, I get no indication that the flight controller is getting any signal from the taranis/receiver. I go to the receiver tab in cleanflight for example, and none of the bars will move when I play around with the sticks, switches and dials on the radio. Trying to hold the radio's sticks in different dirrections to Arm it or calibrate seemingly also do nothing. In the Cleanflight configuration tab, I do have RX_ppm enabled. The Naze has solid Blue and Red lights on them, my Kiss ESC's have solid blue lights on them.
I'm hopping I just set some bad stuff up in the CLI since I was punching in commands I saw on various websites without really knowing what they were doing. (baudrate, softshell, telemetry port, looptime and I'm sure other things).
