HI,
I am having a problem where when I connect my matek F405-CTR to the battery all 4 esc/motors make the first beep, but then randomly only one or two or three start making throtle signal detected beeps every 1 sec, until after 5-10s the board boots and only these esc which have made throtle signal detected beeps are initialised by the final beep. Only they spin up when I arm the board. The board itself works ok, evethough the motors didn’t all boot up. If I firstly boot up the board with usb (so wait 5-10s after pluging it in), then when I connect the battery all 4 esc/motors make the initiall beep and are then instantly initialised.

So, I did some research:
- The escs did the same behaviour whether the “signal” ground was grounded to common ground or not.
- After reading this post (Matek F405 wing won't boot without USB first) where he had simmilar problem but presumably worse, I tried flashing the board with an older bootloader (AP 3.9.7) and then I updated the firmware to latest AC 4.0.3. That didn’s solve anthing and the board behaved the same.
- Updating to AC4.0.4 didn’t solve the issue either.
- At one time I managed to get all 4 escs to initialise and was able to fly the copter with no problem.
I have also filmed what is happening if it helps:
