Hi all,
I've run into this rather odd problem. Long story short, I have a Reptile 500 quad that I cannibalized from an x500 frame that I was using as a test platform to learn the basics of quad flight last fall (probably 20 flights or so). In my rebuild, I switched my flight controller from a CC3D to an APM 2.6. I was trying to iron out a flipping problem when cold weather set in and I put the quad on the shelf for the winter. This weekend, I took it down and plugged in the battery during my configuration process only to be greeted by a single beep from an ESC. Power seems to be getting to all components. Mind you it was untouched all winter and was running fine save for the flipping problem prior. Very strange. I'm set up with a generic PDB, Multistar 20A ESCs, Sunnysky 2216-12 motors, MinimOSD, APM 2.6, the requisite power module for the APM and an FPV system. Before I tear it down and rebuild, I'm wondering if there's anything I should recheck. My plan is to re-solder or replace the PDB. Can't think of anything else that could be at issue.
