Hello,
After struggling for days, I decided to write here.
I cannot run one of the four motors. The esc and the motor on the 2nd channel on the arducopter do not work.
I am trying to make a quadcopter with an arducopter (mega 2560), 10 channel receiver, 4 x bldc motors, 4 x 30a esc (yellow cheap ones) and 3s 11.1v battery but I have a problem that I cannot solve. one of the motors does not work.
The combinations I tried were the following:
- It works when I try with different esc on the same channel. So it is not a problem with the channel on the arducopter.
- When I connect the motor to another esc, the motor works. Therefore, it is not a problem with the motor.
- When I connect the esc on the 2nd channel that does not work directly to the radio receiver without connecting it to the arducopter, the engine and esc work.
I did all the settings and calibrations on the mission planner application as it should be.
At this point I can’t use the esc calibration menu on the mission planner app because when I press the “calibrate esc” button it gives me an error that it should be ac 3.3+. I guess because my hardware is old, (firmware ver 3.2.1) I can’t calibrate the esc through the mission planner app, so I calibrated the motors one by one via radio controller. While doing this, I also programmed the esc’s and reset them to factory settings.
When I connect the ESC and arducopter together it doesn’t work, but the ESC works on its own. What could be the problem? Can you help me?
