Hello!
So, after a long hiatus, I am back and trying to pick up where I left off. Things were going well, but Ive just hit a wall. I can power the unit up, and sometimes one motor will spin, sometimes two will, but never all three, and the servo does not move. I am running the following:
Frame: Tricopter V4 from RCExplorer
Motors: Cobra CM 2814 - 700 kv
ESC: Cobra 30A Opto Multirotor ESC
BEC: Cobra 6A Switching UBEC
Props: 12 x 4.5 MR (2), 12 x 4.5 MRP (1)
FCC: Arducopter Computer with a external compass/GPS module
Rx: Spektrum AR6210 (2.4 GHz)
VTx: RMRC Cricket (V2) (5.8 GHz)
VTx Antenna: RHCP
Video: Mobius Action Cam
Telemetry: 3DR 915 MHz radio set
Output pins are as follows:
1: RH motor
2: LH motor
4: Tail motor
7: Servo
Input pins are as follows:
1: Aileron
2: Elevator
3: Throttle
4: Rudder
5: Aux 1
8: Power from BEC
Current issues:
* One or two motors will run, but never all three.
* Servo does not move
* Wire management - suggestions? I would like to put my VTx behind my GPS.
I would like to get it up and going, otherwise it is going to turn into an expensive paperweight
