Hello Flite Test :black_eyed:,
I am new to the RC hobby. I have just completed assembly of my first quadcopter. Below are the specs.
Specs:
Frame - Armattan Chameleon
FC - Matek F405-CTR (Betaflight 3.2.4 also tried 3.2.1)
ESC - 4X DYS XSD 30a v2 3-5s esc blheli_s (Unknown firmware version as I cannot get them to be recognized)
MOTOR - 4X Rotor Riot Hypetrain Freestyle 2306 2450KV Motor (V1.1)
Rx - FrSky R-XSR
VTx - TBS Unify Pro 5GB V2
Cam - RunCam Eagle 2
Tx - Taranis QX7s
Ok so once assembled I downloaded Betaflight. I flashed the FC (Matek F405-CTR) with Betaflight Firmware v3.2.4. Calibrated the accelarometer and assigned the UART ports. When it came to test the motor direction... with rotors off and disclaimer button clicked I connected my fully charged battery. All four motors twitched for a split second. I proceed to increase each individual slider with no effect, then I increase the master slider with no effect. I take out my voltmeter and check voltage on each ESC positive and negative terminal and I have 16.6V Battery voltage to each ESC. I also checked signal voltage to each ESC and I have 3.3v signal voltage to each ESC.
To troubleshoot further I bound the Tx with the Rx and created an Arm switch on the Tx. I followed the Tx setup to a tee per Joshua Bardwells youtube series. I was able to arm the copter and manipulate the model in betaflight. Once again I move to the motors tab Arm the copter, click the disclaimer, rotors off. The motor RPM's show that they are at idle, but no movement from the actual motor. I increase the throttle and the increase is represented in Betaflight but no movement from my motors.
Somewhere I read that I may need to reflash the ESC's. I download BLHelisuite and using the Betaflight/Cleanflight passthrough, I was able to connect through my correct comport. I choose the readsetup and it says that it cant detect any of my ESC's. I also download the Chrome app BLHelisuite and after readsetup it stays blank.
Is it possible that all of my ESC'S are DOA? Is there a way that I can test the ESC's? Is there a way that I can test my motors? If there is any more information that one would need to help me diagnose this issue I would gladly fork it over. I am anxious to get this thing flying. And just to reiterate I have 16.6V to the power terminals and 3.3V to the signal terminals on all of my ESC's.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Spade
