Quad Help!!!

[KBTalon17]

Hi all,
I have two quads out of commission right now and I can't seem to get them to work. Quad-1: a raceflight revolt v2 that was working two weeks ago but stopped working after I was trying to connect to a newer version of racflightone. When I connected to the computer it rebooted my board so that it would connect but would never let me finish the setup wizards. so I tried flashing a newer version of the firmware on the chrome app to see if that would make it work, but now it wont even connect to it. I've watched the raceflight tutorial on how to fix the driver so it will connect but the USB isn't in the "device manager" on the PC. So if any one knows what I can do, help would be much appreciated.

Quad-2: it has a cicada omnibus f4 all in one flashed with LUXF4OSD firmware which worked really well a few weeks ago but I recently switched to a FrSky transmitter. So I went on BetaFlight to setup my controls but I cant get the receiver tab to show my inputs. I know I've bound it right ind I've gone through all the UARTs to see if it was that and its not. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please tell me!!!

If you know how to fix one of these problems just label it with Quad-1 or Quad-2 so I know which one you are talking about.

Thanks,
Kendall

Connection problems are often due to a bad or the wrong USB cable. You need a real data cable. Not all USB cables are the same.

If the cable isn't the issue try the ImpulseRC driver fixer.

Quad 2 sounds like the configurator/firmware incompatibility, flash to the latest stable firmware and see what happens.

Any progress with the above suggestions? Both of those should solve the issues you describe.

So ive actually tried both of those things and the impulserc driver fixer does make it able to go into DFU mode so I have flashed it with the raceflightone firmware but then when I plug it into the computer it recognizes the usb but then I cant find it in the device manager to upgrade the driver. I have also tried using different cables but I might need to just go buy a data cable. Thanks for your help I'll try what you said!

With quad 2 I have done that but I'll have to try again to make sure.

For the Betaflight Quad, you are using the latest standalone Configurator, right?

no I was just using the chrome app. Thanks for the link, i'll try it out! What does this change?

so I used the beta flight download and it connected finally but it still won't detect the receiver Any ideas?

 

[PsyBorg]

I found with Beta Flight that you have to choose the Uart you have your receiver wired to. SAVE that and reboot or even reconnect sometimes. THEN you can select your receiver type on the configuration page. Save and reboot and usually they come to life.

I have never got Beta Flight to see a receiver when I select the uart, save then go right to the config page or even do that all in reverse.

Hey I got Quad-2 to show radio inputs and I went and flew it today!!!!! so what I did was I had the signal wire to my receiver on a rx tx pad cause I had to do that to get my last sbus receiver to work. But I had the idea to put it back on the normal sbus pad and it worked!!!! so know its just the race flight board that I need to figure out in quad-1.

Since the LuxF4 is an F4 flight controller, the UARTs not come inverted naitively, which is required for s.bus. Flight controller manufacturers put specific s.bus pads on because those have a hardware inverter. That’s why a normal RX pad would not work. Glad you got it working!!!

Kick @$$, KBTalon17!

Got a video?

Video or it didn't happen.

This board?

If so, it seems to have sBUS inversion.

If I read this site right, it also comes with this?

Revolt offers some interesting videos. Have you updated the driver with Zadig?
