Motors not starting

[rceight6]

Any reason my motors won't start? Could be something stupid all channels show as working fine on the assistant View attachment 13768

I may be way off base here but from your picture it looks like your radio isn't turned on.















did you move both sticks down and out or any one of the crazy csc moves in the naza manual?

 

[PeteDee]

You have armed the FCU?

 

[rceight6]

Haha yeh was just for the photo Tx was off, mayb I'm doing something wrong trying to arm it...

A little more info please. Have you flown this quad before? Do you get an arming tone when you power the ESC's? Are the trims in your Tx set to 0?

 

[RobertsUp]

Your photo shows your craft equipped with the stock Dji esc's. The problem is probably in how your DX8 is set up. Try again arming the motors with those csc stick positions.

Squared it away thanks guys, something to do with a switch set to reverse on Tx but normal on the Naza fiddled around with it and managed to arm it. Cheers for taking the time to respond anyway guys

Isn't it great when the solution is simple?

Haha yes definitely! Now.. Just got to work out how to calibrate the GPS... Any tips?

 

[gtranquilla]

Actually you don't need to calibrate the GPS but there is a digital compass inside the same housing which needs to be calibrated..... First determine the angle of declination from true north for your flying site...... The rest is in the DJI documentation......

Do you mean the compass? This is said with respect, the manual explains this. Remember to be patient and to be at least 20 feet, 6m, away from any metal. I forgot about a knife in my pocket and it took me a couple of times before I released my mistake, be mindful of keys, coins (change) and cell phones also. One step at a time. Good luck.
