Building my first 5" FPV drone

Yup, if you are using IBUS👍

And how would I do that?

And how would I do that?

Unsolder them or use IBUS?

 

[Jo's squadron]

Why can't I select it?

Hmm not sure that makes sense...

Reflash with IBUS set as the protocol👍

cause don't I need to unbridge them to use ibus?

You asked how would you do that and I was asking if you were asking how to unbridge them or how would you use IBUS👍

Ah ok

Sorry my head is processing a LOT right now 😅

Understood😂👍 So what which were you asking? (How to unsolder or how to use IBUS)

Both😂

YESSS it worked (flashing with ibus)!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for the help @Houndpup Rc !!

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Both😂

For unbridging the solder just get solder melted into a puddle then just quickly swipe backward between the two pads a few times and that will usually do the trick.
For using Ibus you will just plug a servo plug into the Ibus plug on your Rx, then run the power to 5v, ground to gnd, then the signal will go to a free "R" pad on the FC (Those are your "Uart's", which are basically like USB's on a PC). On the firmware side of things, just reflash the Fc with IBUS selected as the protocol then go into the ports tab and enable it to use "Serial Rx" on the number that you soldered your IBUS wire to (ie. if you solder the rx to R5 then you would tun on the serail rx for uart 5)

I hope that makes sense😂😂👍

No problem!👍 Just keep asking if you have anything else👍

Well I just happen to have another question 😂 So I set my arm to aux 1 and then angle mode on aux2, but when I turn on the drone a flick the arm switch the motors don't spin, Why?

Does it beep or anything when you try to arm it? (And don't forget to save it after you assign the arm switch😂👍)

yes and yes

 

[Jo's squadron]

Everything seems ok in betaflight...

 

[Houndpup Rc]

yes and yes

Oh, Betaflight won't let you arm a drone when its hooked up for safely reasons..Try disconnecting it from your PC or go to the motors tab and click the switch thing that will let the motors spin👍

dose it have something to do with dshot??
