Motor stops, or not?

[thijmen5]

Hello,

Yesterday I have been flying over a field and suddenly my wookong octo made a really strange move. After 2 big wobbles I gave it a bit of 'gas' and it flew ok. I landed immediatly (all motors spinning) and went home to watch what was wrong. Everything seemed normal, so I decided today to try it again slowly. Once at the field at take off I noticed one prop standing still. But every once and a while motor 7 & 8 spin for sec (don't know why, ports F1 & F2 of the wookong (gotta get rid of it btw, so if anyone knows?)), so that means that the motor isn't broke.

Now I got home and spin it up to see what motor stopped, all motors spinned? This is really annoying, since it finally got great wheater this summer. I only flew it 6 times and everything is brand new.

Home made octocopter frame
DJI wookong
Maytech 30A
Avroto 2814-11 (770kv)

Anyone know what to do? All ports seemed to be right plugged.

Regards,
Thijmen

Hi Thijmen,

which firmware are you using?

Maybe this thread about octo issues similar to your description may be of interest:

That thread you sended sounds familiar! What firmware should I use? How is 5.08?

I think it is the firmware problem, glad it didn't fail completely as some do since it's brand new.

Thanks for youre reply.

Regards,
