First post - hoping that someone can show me what I'm missing.... ;>)
My transmitter throttle does not spin the motors. All transmitter functions seem to work however, and can be seen in Betaflight.
At this point, I have to believe the FC board, ESCs, Tx and Rx are working properly (see below). I wonder if there is something really obvious and stupid that I'm missing?
Deets:
Win7 Pro, 64bit. Connected thru USB hub
DX7s transmitter, what I think is the latest firmware 1.03
Spektrum serial receiver
Model setup Acro (plane), 11ms frame rate, DSMX
Receiver binds normally, all channels - sticks and aux1/2 - can be seen working in Betaflight.
Running BetaFlight 3.2.1. Connects normally (after the usual messing around with COM drivers), and the quad picture on screen reacts to both manual movements on 'setup' screen, and transmitter inputs on 'receiver' screen. I had to reverse my aileron setting on the DX7 to make the 'receiver'screen react properly.
Config screen:
Multishot, 8k gyro, 8k PID
Mode screen:
Arm is AUX1, transmitter moves control - loud beeps when armed. AUX2 is Angle/Horizon/nothing. Also beeps when switching.
Calibrated ESCs. They all work in manual 'motors' screen. Set min throttle after ARM to 1050. That is, in fact, lower than minimum stick value of about 1158.
BLHeliSuite32 (32.3.0.0) connects but does not recognize the ESCs. It does see 4 of them, but cannot identify, or read or write to the flash. I'm using the Chrome version instead.
BLHeli configurator in Chrome connects. Reads 'BTFL 3.2.1 Oct 15 2017...' firmware on FC board. Reads ESCs as 'P-H-10'.
I've tried ESC firmware versions 16.5, 16.63 DSHOT commands [Official], and 16.67RC [blheli-multishot]. They all behave the same. Currently running 16.5.
All ESC functions seem normal. Beeping during power on, programming changes, time out beeping after 5 minutes, etc.
Any thoughts are welcome - I'd like to add the props and fly this thing!
Thanks!
Jeff
