Motor Spin on Arm (well not now)

Post by Nomis.43 »

Hi

To start with I had this working before, I have just finished setting up a fresh config file, an Im sure that I set everything the same as the previous config but the motors are no longer spinning when the quad is armed.

//#define MOTOR_STOP remains commented out

Multiwii.h
#define MINCHECK 1080
#define MAXCHECK 1950

Config.h
#define MINTHROTTLE 1230
#define MAXTHROTTLE 1950
#define MINCOMMAND 1000

TX scale
1050 to 2000

Also a stupid question how do I make it so the throttle starts increasing the speed as soon as I move it and not 1/3 the way up the throttle scale.

Build:
Frame: REPTILE 500 Alien
FC: Crius MultiWii SE 2.5 with MultiWill 2.3 Firmware
Morots: DJI 2212/920KV
ESCs: Ebay generic 40A flashed with SimonK (Sorry not sure of the version)
Radio: FlySky FS-T6 & FS-R6B

Thanks Simon

increase
#define MINTHROTTLE 1230
(step of 10 each time)
and press the reset button in GUI.

or use the minthrottle settings in the SETTINGS TAB of GUI

Afternoon Alex,

Thats fixed it but it was odd Multiwii Gui stated the Minthrottle as 0050, confirmed the setting in the Config was 1230 but could not edit it from the GUI so I plugged in the Bluetooth and connected with MultiWii EZ-Gui and it stared to work, just has to remember the the fix if I upload and it stops working again.

Thanks for your help.

Simon
