HobbyKing HK v2.0 quad board

[Tifische]

Hi guys, anyone got this board flying yet? I flashed the firmware to fly X config and it's been impossible to set up. Am wondering if I missing something. I am already flying a 500x with FY91 and a XA 650 v8 with much less issues. Thought I could set up a cheap-throw-about quad with the spares but this board has me stumped.

Thanks

Should tell you what you need to know.

What problems are you having?

I fly the V1 on 4.7 no problem on my +quad.

Jake, thanks. I followed that reference. But after flashing it to x config, (and I get the exact responses) the board responds rather to the controls. Appears to still be in + config.

 

[Jake Bullit]

Can you describe the problem more.

Is the board arming,does it fly at all,if so what happens?

Do you have the board orientated correctly,are you using acro on your TX?

aside from possible firmware issues, how are those hk boards?

 

[Jake Bullit]

OK for the price,a great way of getting into MR`s ,especially for beginners.

Don`t expect to much stability with the piezo gyros.

 

[mailman35]

ahh. yeah well what really can you expect for <30$ but for a quad that you just wanna fly to fly it cant be bad.

Jake: the esc responses are working fine. Tried swapping the gyro directions but I realized it was not compensating based on a X configuration. When trying to lift off, the quad tries to spin about before flipping over.

 

[Jake Bullit]

Presume you have the board mounted correctly on your frame,with the arrow pointing in the direction of forward flight?

 

[Tifische]

Jake: yes orientation is correct. What would be a recommended s/w to flash it to to get x config? Xcopter?

Use lazy zero flash tool, and take your pick

Sent from my HTC HD2

yup that was what I was using, thought it worked great. But I will just have to try flashing it again.

If you are still looking for an answer.....update with Lazyzero's tool. Use the 4.7 Ultimate.

The configuration is NOT the same (similar yes) as the rcexplorer site referenced.

The motor layout is actually:

1 3

2 4

See if you can get that to work first. Also, on my boards I had to reverse the yaw gyro. See rcexplorer site for how to.

I'm having a ball with aggressive flying with it. Very quick rolls and flips. Expo currently around 50%.

Good luck
