Hello, I just found this forum.
I'm brand new to quads.
A few months ago I set up a Wizard x220 with FlySky FS-i6x transmitter.
At the time I tested the quad and it worked fine. But I realized how hard it was going to be to fly so I spent some time on the sims.
A couple days ago I figured it was time to fly it.
I took it outside, connected the battery, armed it...and it went nuts. The two front motors went full-throttle, the quad flipped over and broke two props. Fun times.
I brought it in, removed the props, flashed the latest Betaflight, and still no luck.
When I arm the quad the motors go on and off randomly. Some twitch, some spin up to high speed. They start and stop and beep.
I followed Joshua Bardwell's setup video on YouTube.
Here's what I know:
- Latest Betaflight
- Board alignment good...270 degrees
- Receiver bars respond to transmitter correctly
- Motors calibrated and work fine with the sliders in Betaflight, motors spin in correct direction
- Props installed correctly (when they were installed)
- 3D model in Betaflight follows movement of quad correctly.
What can I look at next?
Thanks!
