Throttle Min Max Problem...I think

Post by kvn7500 »

I have everything connected and wired properly according to the Config GUI. All channels are recognized from the TX, sensors act properly however the LED on my arduino turns off after I attempt to arm the motors. I believe this is due to my throttle settings however I cannot get close to 2K max with my flysky software and I believe thats the issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If it was a min/max throttle problem then the LED would stay on, so that issue does not seem to be your immediate problem. However, if the LED goes out, and you cannot arm the motors, then perhaps the model is not sufficiently level or the sensors are not calibrated correctly.

According to the FAQ the LED goes off.
"The motors do not start

Move the rudder full right with throttle all the way down to start the motors, full left to turn off the motors.
If the LED stays off, it is a problem related to the RX setup.
If the LED is going ON after the arming procedure, it is a problem related to the ESCs."

Im assuming since im using the FlySky 6ch I need to adjust the endpoints but im not 100%

Check the GUI to see if throttle goes under ~1000.

Adjust minthrottle if radiotrims isn't enough.

Code: Select all

According to the FAQ the LED goes off.

My mistake / I was thinking of the blink error. The LED will go off when the model is disarmed.

Check the GUI to see if throttle goes under ~1000.

This is the best troubleshooting tip. You can use the reported throttle values to help you set the transmitter's throttle endpoints to 1000uS / 2000uS.

I couldnt set the limits correctly using the tx software so I had to adjust the MIN MAX values in the code and I can now arm/disarm. Thank you all
