Hello everyone,
Finally I am here at stage to fly. I have done Radio, compass and accelerometer calibrations But Got the following issues:
1- After arming the quadcopter, and pushing the throttle, it increases the spin like crazy.
2- Even if try to increase it very slowly little by little, it tries to fly at 70 degrees (vertical) instead of 90 vertical
How should I start. Should I use 4 treads to nail it on the ground and then fly to see which motor is spining more or the mission planner can help?
Questions:
1- is Radio calibration issue:
2- Mode issue. How can the APM help me. Why isn’t stablizing it?
3- Or something else
Prop orientation; ie. mismatched frame type relative to prop orientation

@FullScalePilot 2 thank you
the only issue then according to you would be “ESC calibration”.
What does that mean? Do I have to do it in Mission planner or there is something else?
I did the calibration (as I know it) and the it can be armed and disarmed.
Here is my video (NOT from this issue but from PREVIOUS issue) youtube.com/watch?v=QH9xN9_FyBU
cheers
As soon as you arm (throttle down, right rudder) the apm/pixhawk start’s logging what it’s doing, stopping logging when you disarm or there is a voltage problem. This is done if the quad is connected to the computer and if it is not connected to the computer.
This log is kept in the apm/pixhawk until you connect it to mission planner and ask it to download the logs to the computer.
I have done all mandatory setup. I do not have GPS module.
My point for posting the Radio setup was if you look, when I move throttle, the Pitch and other radio also changes.
does it have to be like that?
Hello,
I was able to change the sittings of Transmitter and throttle affects throttle only.
But when I tried the copter, I just flipped on one side.
The log file is attached.
Thank you @summX
I am using Turnigy 9X
could not find a manual telling what are the name of each switch. I don’t know those therms like “pitch trim” etc. I need a manual with figure or telling me “right top switch” etc.
Thank you @iseries
to change the settings for log, I went to “Config/tuning”>Advanced Params and could find LOG_BITMASK to set.
regardless of the spinning direction, which is correct … your motors are wrong:
Up right No. 1
Bottom right No. 4
Bottom left No. 2
Up left No. 3
I had the same confusion for my setup when you go into Mission Planner/Initial Setup/ Motor test and click button A to D, top right motor should spin first and then all the others in a clockwise fashion. That would be 1,4,2,3
that was exactly the problem. Thank you and thank others on YouTube who commented on the issue.
Are you saying that I can connect the battery and USB connecting to mission planner? and can test motor spin?
I didn’t know that. But does it show each motor spin separately?
thanks
Yes you can connect USB and battery to test the motors. I did like this:
connect USB, connect battery, connect MP, push the arming switch on the Pixhawk to arm it. Otherwise it won´t let you do anything. On the motor test page there is also a power setting. My motors never turned at 5 percent setting, but with 8 percent they did.
If you press a motor button the motor will spin for 5 seconds or so
