Noober here with an issue. I bought an Acrobee BeeBrain brushless and went through setting it up in BetaFlight. Accidentally pulled off one of the antennas while removing the FC from the chassis. It looks like it snaps back on, but it's hard to tell since it's also held in place with plastic covering over the whole FC. In any case, when I throttle up, it continues increasing throttle out of control and wont decelerate. All other controls (AER) work the motors normally.
Running motors via betaflight has no issues. It's only when controlling through the transmitter that I get the issue.
I thought it may be the antenna, but thought I'd ask here for advice.
Here's what I've done so far to troubleshoot:
I flashed the firmware with the downloaded file betaflight_4.1.0_BEEBRAIN_BL_SBUS_US.hex as my initial test. No help.
In Receiver tab, I checked the ranges, and the look good..
Tried disabling the Accelerometer. Not sure what I was expecting here, but that didnt help.
Under the Configuration tab I have DSHOT600 selected.
I cleared all settings in the Mode tab besides ARM.
Transmitter is a Taranis QX7. Nothing special set up for this model. Only used for simulator until now, so nothing else to test it on.
Seems like the FC is not receiving correct signal from the transmitter on Throttle only, so my guess goes to bad reception through bad antenna. There are two antennas, so I'm not positive how much of an effect losing one might be. But, before attempting to fix it or buy a replacement quad I wanted to get some feedback here in case I'm missing something.
Any help appreciated.
