Newbie Question Debugging Flip MWC 1.5
Posted: Sat May 02, 2015 11:06 pm
As a father and son project we built our own tricopter, not from a kit. We're learning a lot but have a lot to learn.
I'm guessing this is a simple, newbie question for any of you who know what you're doing:
When the FC is plugged into usb, everything seems to work perfectly, even before turning on MultiWiiConf 2.3. Motors and servo working, all controls seems to respond correctly. Just one problem: When disconnected from the usb there seems to be no power to the FC (Flip MWC 1.5). None of the FC lights are on. Motors don't spin. ESCs must be hooked up properly to the FC since everything works as long as usb is connected. I'm guessing I'm missing something simple?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
