Home-Made Quad is not flying, Help

[Kitsune932]

Greetings.
I am new to the multicopters and am having some problems.
I'm using the Arduino Nano V3.0 settings with the Arduino Mini pro




When I connect all the sensors, the motors do not accelerate, The motors work fine, and set the ESC

Help please

Hello.

First of all did you check your construction with the GUI?

- That the signals from the transmitter are going to the arduino.
ROLL, PITCH, YAW,THROTTLE.

- That the sensor orientation is according to this here

TILT the MULTI to the RIGHT (left side up):
ACC_ROLL and GYRO_ROLL goes up
ACC_Z goes down

TILT the MULTI forward (tail up):
ACC_PITCH and GYRO_PITCH goes up
ACC_Z goes down

Rotating the copter clockwise (YAW):
GYRO_YAW goes up

That are the basic things to do, BEFORE attempting to fly that thing....

AND REMOVE THE PROPS BEFORE DOING THOSE TESTS!!!!

yeah, I did all that TT__TT

but I only have gyroscope and magnetometer and for some reason I do not recognize the Nunchuk TT__TT

Then throw MAG and ACC out. You ONLY need a GYRO for flying!!

What is the weight of your construction? What is the thrust of your motor/prop combination?
Did you do any calculations on that? You know, you need a ratio: weight - thrust at least of 1 - 2 to get of the ground!

I did that before upload the video

Ok I'll do that

The weight is 1630g

My motors and props are these:

My ESC's are these:

In the Multiwii GUI all channels of the receiver are working (ROLL, PITCH, YAW and THROTTLE) and the level of each motor are displaying on de GUI.

When I plug a single motor directly to the Throttle channel of the receiver, this only engine is able to lift the entire Quad, But I stop before it's spill. (about of 80% ~ 90% of the throttle stick)

When I plug the Motors to the Arduino, all of them are spinning slowly, and and the throttle does not appear to respond.

Follow these advices here.

Step by step!

Especially the part ESCs and ESC calibration

... good luck ...

In the GUI, do all channels go from 1000 (low) to 2000 (high) and are centered at 1500?
