    NAZA-M Lite First Flight Problems

    Super Its always the most simple mistake that you think you've checked! At least the next chunk of work is fun. From your screen shots I would quickly look at your volt settings if you want a normal flight time... 3.6 v per cell for s1 and a loss will be around 0.4 or so. I set the second...

    Horrendous flight time!!

    In the UK you can get fat shark spironet. They are a SPW and cloverleaf pair in a raydome. Basicly the same as IBC offering. You can get them in both plug types depending on what you need on each end. Or make them! Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings...

    NAZA-M Lite First Flight Problems

    I've just watched your video again... There is no way your motors and props on the right are on right - there is no lift dispite a lot of spinning! I bet without any doubt that if you hold it down and run the props that one ofb them is blowing air UP. Which means a prop on the wrong arm or a...

    NAZA-M Lite First Flight Problems

    Do a quick 2 tests for me... 1. Push both sticks on your controller up and right - all the pointers in Naza should go to the right hand side if so is well. 2. Go to the screen where you select it as a quadcopter and do a 'motor test'. Watch that each motor in turn moves in the number pattern...

    NAZA-M Lite First Flight Problems

    I would put money on one of the following: Motors plugged into the wrong Naza ports... It should be m1 starting at the front right, then going anti-clockwise to m4. Your motors are not spinning the correct way. They should be spinning as per the pic I've attached. If not, swap any 2 ESC...

    Futaba SBus/Dbus on vs traditional

    You use one cable instead of loads! You can use the s-bus for naza, but the normal ports are still being sent a signal, so you can use them for any other accessories you have too.

    How to find number of Satellites in realtime on iPhone

    Indeed. The only use it have for it is if I am taking longer than normal to get a lock, or if I keep dropping my link then I use one to see if I have a cracked antenna (the ceramic patches used for gps crack very easily) or a low gps sky. I use a Garmin cycling gps, it gives a diagram with the...

    How to find number of Satellites in realtime on iPhone

    What are you hoping to learn from this? I'm not sure it can confirm your iOSD data, as you may not always have every sat locked in while flying? Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and should be treated as such. Terms and conditions apply.

    Low Flight time with 5000mah 3s

    There is a major problem somewhere - you should be getting 15-20 mins from that. What are your voltage settings at? Setting 1 should be around 3.6 v per cell with about a 0.3 v loss. What voltage are your cells after landing? How many mAh are you putting back in after a flight? I would...

    DJI F450 Vibrations

    I'd say your more likely got a gain issue. 3s to 4s normally needs a reduction in main pitch and roll gains of 20% or so. Put it on a free channel and put both roll and pitch gains on th he x1 channel. Drop it in flight and see what happens... Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy...

    Naza M V2 GPS Antenna Placement

    It makes absolutely no difference at all. What is important is that you mount it away from electronic interference, ie escs, power cables and motors. Also a clear line of sight to the sky is vital - GPS is a very weak signal with high gain antenna, so being on carbon plate will help. So put it...

    Does sbus supply power?

    Yes. All bus ports, along with traditional servo plug ports have power, neutral and signal pins. S-bus is the same. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and should be treated as such. Terms and conditions apply.

    2 stupid? questions

    On the radio front there are two reasons... Firstly video gear uses a fixed frequency. Theat means a reflected or out of phase signal will get into the reciever and damage the signal quality. Most control radios are of the FHSS type (frequently hopping spread spectrum). This means they...

    Retractable Landing Gear Question

    The main point is this... What is supplying the 5V feed to power the retracts... Are they fed from the same place as the Fc? If so, change it. You only need them to bind up and you will overload the shaired BEC and brownout. One BEC for the flight controller and reciever, and another for...

    phantom 2 vision plus altitude showing - 30 feet on the ground

    A few factors at work here... It uses a combination of air pressure and gps to calculate altitude. Have you tried it on another location? And as long as it also shows -30 when it records home, you're okay. Try it by hovering at 6' then putting it into failsafe - you will see the height it will...

    bec and non bec esc confusion

    The PDB provides battery voltage to the ESCs directly, which then use this to power the motors. ESCs may also have a 5v regulated output - a BEC. Most electronics run on 5v - including most flight controllers. So in most cases the BEC 5v feed powers the Fc or anything else you need. The BEC of...
