Hej,
A newbie building the first heavy drone here and one motor keep stuttering from time to time. I changed the ESCs among motors, but only one motor has the problem. I checked the resistance for soldering and did the ESC calibrations in mission planner but still has the problem. Can someone help me to solve this?
Copter setup:
Cube black on quad X
Sunnysky’s EOLO ESC 50A
Sunnysky v4008-17 KV380
6s Lipo
Which motor is it?
I have just had this happen on a PixFalcon. Motor 1.
If I move the connection to another motor the problem moves, so its something out of that port.
I was getting ready to change motors and ESC’s.
Standard PWM ESC’s.
Your video was a bit quick, did the motor spin at all?
At what throttle setting did it strat to do this?
We have also had issues with Shot being used on standard PWM where we had to change out the Shot ESC’s.
Try to rule mechanical issues first, screws too long touching the wrong part of the motor, something like that.
Then swap outputs at the pixhawk to see if the problem stays with the motor/ESC or moves to another motor.
Then probably change out the motor and then the ESC
For me it’s motor 4. And the problem stays with the motor when change ESC. Sorry about the video quality, the motor stutters only from time to time in throttles below 10% mainly, like in the beginning of the video. I am using standard PWM, tried changing to other protocols , no difference.
After considering all your suggestions, I re solder motor connections to ESC. And checked with a servo tester, it works fine. Re did the motor mounts with extra spacers , so the screws aren’t touching the bottom of the motor and test again, works normal.
Then, mount it on the quad and throttled it slowly, 50% of the time it stutters at lower throttles. changed ESC connections, problem stays with the motor. Even changed the pin-outs from cube, same result.
Observation: motor 4, the faulty one slightly heated up than others.
What am I missing here? I will look again for mechanical mishaps, but do you have any solutions for this?
Thanks.
Mine also do that but only in position hold mode, never in stabilize mode, cube orange, flydragon 60 amp slim, frsky r-xsr, tx frysky x7s, kore carrier board.
