Stupid me !! I did not have my satellite antennae plugged into AR 8000, so receiver was not getting transmitter signal. Duh.

Racerx1962, I had the same problem on my first calibration of Naza. Doing the advanced calibration on the Assistant software solved the problem. Don't worry about the MC high temp warning, Have read that's just a glitch in the software.

Well I went ahead and purchased non opto ESCs. I am now having the problems I feared. With one esc servo lead plugged into my throttle channel on Spektrum AR8000, Upon power up the esc just beeps every 2 secs. continually. The instructions indicate that the "throttle signal is irregular" I have...

Question all! Even if I did not wait for a solid gps lock, it basically runs in attitude mode ( am I correct) plus I did switch to att mode. It still shouldn't go into a full blown flyaway. Maybe just a little wobbly would be my thoughts and past experience with another copter I have.

Anyone have any experience with Tarot - TARTL2345 Pentium 40 amp ESCs. ?? Good/ bad ? , do they have to be programmed for multi rotor or will the default settings work?? I have a Turnigy programming card. Will it work on these ?? Are they OPTO,? My dealer tells me they are but I don't see...

Ohh I forgot to add, the Tarot gimbal seems to work fine , the Naza all seems good (still on the bench at this point though) and my spectrum ar8000 seems to be responding properly.!

Hi Everyone, I am using the DJI 30 amp Opto esc on a Tarot 680 with stock motors (4006/ 620 ) and I need to replace a few ESCs( hex took a swim) 2 were smoking after drying for two 2 days in rice. The others worked fine . Should I just replace them all? I have read that the motors should be...

Thanks jfro. I know I did not hit the RTH, but you got me thinking about whether I waited long enough for the a rock solid gps signal. I may have rushed the take-off. ( I was trying to capture the sunset over the lake at the perfect time). I will also look into this solar flare thing. Good stuff!!

Thanks MOTOPRESEVRVE for the input. I appreciate it.Could not get the pic to upload.But the terminal strip is a screw clamp type, 12 terminals in a row. I use them all the time in in electrical cabinet work.

Hi All, Just building my first multi rotor (Tarot 680 pro) and have been reading a lot of reviews on the potential problems of soldering your power and esc wires to the power board. I am an industrial controls technical for 35 years and in my experience soldering should not be relied on for...
