Whoop whoop! Shes all good! Went out with stock PID's and everything was super slow on pitch, roll and yaw and a bit wobbly on punch out but these are all easy PID tunes now!
Thank you everybody for your help and much thanks to motopreserve for the excellent trouble shooting!
Got it all fixed up, all motors start at the same time, things look solid! running out to the field now to go see if she works! I feel it will this time, the squid trick moved things forward like crazy! Thank you. I'll report back soon!
Whoop! So everything is coming together! New fc is running motors great but for some reason as soon as i unplug from computer baseflight whom i switched over to wont save my mode selection and arming...any advice on that? Im startingcto get excited here!
Thx
Hey bud your the man! The squid cable worked well! I plugged the esc's into the channel 1 on the d4r and throttled the motors, everything started perfectly so this rules out the esc's right? Im onto the FCB as a virdict too. I have an extra flip32 board so ill swap that out. I normally wire...
Hey bud thanks for the advice! I just made one of those squid cables and am about to try this out. Now do i need to plug the single servo cable into the fcb? Or right into my d4r II?
Thx
sorry if this sounds noobish but whats a servo squid? are you saying tie all of the esc's to only 1 esc channel and run them all off that together rather than on all 4 servo channels?
thx
Thats what my issue is, I have tried so many PID config's and nothing...so I went solo and figured out PID's on my own and nothing....PID's are simply killing me. I am debating swaping to the cc3d atom in hopes for easier tuning possibly....and yes this rabbit hole is getting crazy deep....thats...
Here's the esc's from massive that I am thinking of getting...

and here are the lumenier esc's with the wierd plug and play no calibration that I already have and want to totally replace...
okay guys I have tried and tried with this and have tuned this shake out of the quadcopter but now its real unstable and doesn't fly stable anymore, it's give or take in this scenerio....I'm really having a hard time with this build. I've never had so many issues with a build before. I don't see...
So I went against what Lumenier said and performed an ESC calibration and things look to be better, still running odd on the motor start up but not nearly the craziness that it was doing. I am going to guess that the rest is P settings. Is there any way to adjust the PID's without having to land...
on the flip I have all esc's hooked up signal and ground except for esc #1 has power, it was hooked up all powers, grounds and sig but everything seemed crazy over powered and messing with video so took out all motor 2-4 powers. Would adding a seperate BEC be something that could fix things...
are you meaning no expo in the settings of the taranis or cleanflight? cleanflight has its stock rc expo's is that going to be okay or should I zero them out?
thx
So I am trying to look into this, how would I go about checking into this, I dont see it on any of the menu windows. Is it something to be done in the CLI?
I don't believe I do, everything on the taranis and cleanflight are at stock settings only thing I have changed is turn on the rx ppm...
I have used the calibration on the Taranis but will try doing it again. I believe it to be in rate mode but I'm new to cleanflight, I have the flight modes all chosen off...no angle and no horizon chosen....this should mean its in rate right? everything saves good but still all shakey. You are...
