Very well! Without rocking the camera, without paused slow speech, quickly and understandable, great editing! Best ratings from me, thank You very much!
I am a Naza guy, however I am building a fun fpv light racer and figured I'd give the KK board a shot since it's a third of the price. Now after watching your video, which I very much appreciate, I am very confident this board will do what I want. Thank you for the video and time you put in making it.
Please read the video description for additional information, tips and tricks, warnings, links and more. For everything else, please leave a comment down below. I will answer them ASAP! Thank you for watching!
Thank you. This tutorial helps me to learn so much about setting up flight control board. This is the start of more advanced RC learning for me. Cheers! :)
Terimakasih, Komandan.. Atas tutorial youtube yg dimuat. Sangat bermanfaat buat saya pada saat beli, setup awal. Terimakasih, salam hormat. Yan endigo, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia.
eluminerRC Thank you for this video very professional!! Okay on my KK2.0 in the Misc setting I have to keep my Minimum throttle to 20 or else all motors worn't start up at the same time. I have also calibrated my ESC's to way you have shown. Do you think this will be a problem or something like this.
Excellent !!!...Thank you for this video..you saved the day for me and others with this not so ready to fly out of the box sk450...yes it will fly out of the box but short of being WILD.
sorry for the silly question, Im a total noob building a quad from scratch, does the kk2 come with the required cables to connect the RC Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter w/ Module & 8ch Receiver (Mode 1) (v2 Firmware) or does the transmitter comes with the cable? If not do I need to buy a specific cable to connect both, 320 female to female?
Help I can't get my motors to spin, I do the throttle pass thought and then nothing happens when I throttle up, no motors spin. Also I. Cant sub trim enough to be able to zero the channels, it's like my sticks have bad springs. 120 sub trim isn't enough to be able zero said channel. My ESCs are warm to the touch, is that correct?
I laughed long and hard when the extra hands.appear to help with the power up, if only! I think I will quickly go and try something funny as I edit my vid I am doing on the 9X and the ultimate upgrade you can do to it. capping it off with a bit on ER9X for beginners. Nice contribution. I have had trouble with some parts for my APM 2.5 and also some config issues so I Am putting the KK on it and going out onto the icy field to fly something. I have just about had enough of the "winter workbench" for the meanwhile. It has been a lifetime this winter. Going to try your PID and general setup for the KK2.0 V2 F.C., had it on a Tri, (my first scratch multi...) and I never dialed it in properly, and with the new frame, a Hobby King x650F(quad) , I will try to set it up and get some stable and predictable behaviour even in the -8 C temperatures. I will just bring a warm battery Like your editing BTW :-)
Hi. So I have a 2.1.5, and Im using a 4 in1 ESC. When I test the motors, and use the sticks to test the controls, the motors that speed up usually stay up, until I give it opposite stick. Was it a bad idea to try the 4 in1? Also, Im already spec-ing my next build, but its with opto esc's. How do I connect the UBEC Im getting to the FCM, if the usual sets of pins arent available? You know the KK only powers up on the M1-8 side on the M1 pins. Thanks. ps....edit...Sub'd..by the way...thanks for the vid!!
No problem. :) Yeah, the logical conclusion is that the problem is in the ESC's. Did you try to change timing mode on them? Flashing might help as well, I'm not sure. Which chipset do you have, Atmega od SiLabs?
Depends on what transmitter you have. You can either change mixes in your transmitter or simply connect AUX from KK2.0 to the different channel on your receiver.
do you have any suggestions if my motors do not start/stop at the same time? I think I might need to update firmware on my ESC's but dont want to mess with soldering to pins if i dont have to
Well, this is only the first part. Second part will be tuning guide. Now, these initial settings are great for quad tuning, but they will work on a tri as well. Tuning process is very similar for both, so you will be able to use those instructions on a tri. Stay tuned.
This tutorial saved my butt, I want to personally thank you for putting this simple and easy v0tomfollow video. I have ordered a Turnigy SK-450 with a KK2.0 board and had troubles out of the box, but this video right here fixed allmof that...I liked thumbs up and subscribe to your channel.
Hello there I just put together my first quad with KK2.1.5 board. Followed your video, didn't miss anything. Motors 1,3, and 4 come on as soon as The quad is armed, but motor number 2 come on after I have moved the throttle about 6 notches on my Futaba T14SG radio. I have checked all the wiring and spent hours trying figure out what could be wrong. If you could help me out here, I'll appreciate it. Thanks.
Best regard. Very well explained your video I have the following problem: perform all the steps you explain in the video but the engines do not move, solamenten move when oppressed have 2 buttons, loose and stop working. Thanks for your help.
HELLO, SORRY MY MYSTAKE, BUT I WAS TRYING TO LIGHTEN A DISPLAY OF KK2.0 NOW DO NOT SEE WHAT IS WRITTEN. HOW DO I GO BACK LCD, RESET? HOW? I SEE NOTHING. THANK YOU, EDUARDO
LOL! In these videos I used just an iPhone 4 and couple of lights. ;) No heavy post processing either. However, I recently bought DSLR, lights and some other video gear so expect much much better videos in couple of weeks! ;)
I meant flight controller (like KK2.0 board), not transmitter. However, I'm not sure why would it be underpowered. Did you calibrate the sticks on your 9X?
Wonderful video. I'm curious. I watched both of your vireos on the same topic, but your setting numbers are not even close to each other. I guess I'm asking which ones do I use? Also do these numbers relate to a tricopter?
This is INITIAL SETUP video. The best way to start up in my opinion. After that, you should tune you copter by following my TUNING GUIDE. Tricopter is a little different, but the procedure is the same.
I suggest SunnySky x2212 980 kv motors and some 9" props. I use Graupner 9x5 props, but some SlowFly 9x4.7 will work as well. You'll fly with 8x4 or 10x4.5, don't worry. Play with this and enjoy.!
Where should the power from my UBEC be connected ? If it's to the Rx as it is in every other application then I don't get M1 to be the power supply. Do I splice the UBEC into M1 Red & Brown ? There are some critical steps in the instructions missing. Next - when I get into ESC calibration mode on full throttle I get 1 beep 4 times then 2 beeps 4 times then 3 X 4 then 4 X 4 etc ad infinitum. WTF ?
how do you add a separate acting motor onto the board, say i wanted to make a tricopter that had a drive system for taxiing how could i make this reality with the kk2?
If all has been set up according to your recommendations, would you expect the quad to calmly raise off the ground? Mine wants to roll down and to the right so I've been reluctant to take off.... As soon as it gets enough power, it seems to be unstable. If I actually take off, it may be uncontrollable. My ESC's are HobbyKings and went thru the calibration, but not "programmed". Could that be the issue? If not, can you offer any thoughts? Many thanks
Hello, I've updated the firmware successfully. However, the problem that after releasing the buttons the rotors don't function still exists. And I can't arm the board by pushing throttle stick to the bottom right. What should I do? Thanks!
Hi I did all these settings and then when I go to take off it just doesn't take off at full throttle. All the motors are spinning the way the kk2 motor layout shows. But then when I do opposite of what the kk2 shows the quadcopter takes off and then spins out of control. Much help is needed.
It depends on lot of things (weight, motor/prop combo, flying style, wind conditions etc.) but I usually get around 10 min. Well, if you stay out of juice, guess what... you will fall out of the sky. Not only that, your LiPo will be useless too, because LiPo's shouldn't be discharged completely. That's why you must have voltage alarm of some kind to know when your LiPo is at critical voltage (shouldn't be under 3.3V/cell) and then land as soon as possible.
Great Vid, many thanks - it's helped me a lot. Quick question, under receiver test I am unable to completely zero out the figures using thetransmitter trims .Closest I can get to is about +2/-2. (It's a cheap transmitter). Are there any settings on the KK board to help trim to zero ?
Okay, that looks better to me too then. But then one more question, i have an dx5e en an ar600. In the video you sad switch is self level but which switch is that on the dx5e? And what channel? Aux1?
Sory im new in quads, but i have KK 2.0 and my display is doing crazy stuff my letters are "traveling" from one corner to another i dont know what to do with it, but i want to ask something the AUX i have only -6 and everyone has - 100 or + 100 and i dont know how to set it like this i have Turnigy 9X, and i have another problem that when i start my quad just with throttle up it dont goes straight up but from one side to another and i just push throttle and nothing esle...
I think your videos are outstanding. Question, when plugging in the battery to FCB, does the quad have to be on a completely flat/level surface? The FCB is KK2.0 V1.5. Keep up the videos.
Yes, that is completely normal. You see, AUX is usually assigned to switch on you transmitter so it's either -100 or +100... You can assign it to pot, but that doesn't make sense.
On the receiver test menu! The moves you make on the sticks and what the screen shows is the correct ones? If so when you move the rudder on the right the screen tells left and the opposite! If this is correct then the board is armed if you lower the throttle and move the rudder to the left! is that correct?
Yes, I did that intentionally in order to show that you can invert channel in case your channel is like this. In next scene I reverse that particular channel so I get left input when I move the stick to the left. ;)
Hello, can you help me please, on my kk2 when I am doing a receiver test it is telling me all my channels but 1 (throttle) have no signal, but my reciever is definitely binded.
Do you have CPPM on? Only use it if the Rx supports it. It passes all the control signals through only the throttle input, so it lets you eliminate the other 3 Rx to KK cables. It should be OFF if you have a regular mode Rx.
Very good video, but i gain should not be put to 0. I know if it is too high, quad is not flying but if it is too low, stick gives feedback what you do. I think everything should be as video shows except I gain can be between 10-15
Hi there, thanks for the great videos In step 11, I rock the quad as described but it doesn't sound to me like there is any difference in motor speeds.. could I have done something wrong? Richard
First, be 100% positive that you've performed ESC calibration properly. Try to hold buttons longer before putting throttle to idle (wait for more beeps or something). Some ESC's may behave differently. If that doesn't work, try to switch two motors on the KK2.0 board. Switch one motor that starts normally and one it doesn't. If the problem moves with the motor, then you know that the problem is with the board. If the same motor starts late, then the problem is in ESC/motor.
I have bought myfirst building quadrocopter, but I have buy the KK 2.1, is it almost the same setup ass this KK2.0? Great Work you have doing with this quad!
when i do the esc calibration, everything goes well until the part where you bring the throttle to idle: the motors start running and no beeps go off. please help
hi i have made a quadcopter using kk2.1.5 but the problem is that when i shake the quad so the motor that downs should speed up but that does not happens would you please help me. ill be very thankful to you.
great series,thanx alot.i am a beginner using the same frame as that of urs,same flight conroller, what rpm motors should i use,using 3s 2200mah LIPPO and turnigy plush 25amp ESC. ALSO how to select the prop type,slow flying or which one
cool stuff bro many thanks for this videos , just one more thing , my quad slightly drifts to the left ,and forward what can you advise to fix ?thanks a lot!
Thanks man! It depends. If it drifts in auto-level mode check out dhdsracers video on KK2.0 auto-level to see how you can fix this. If it drifts in manual mode, then you should adjust your trims on your transmitter. Of course, make sure you're doing this in perfectly calm weather, preferably in closed area, otherwise you will be compensating for the wind which doesn't make sense.
hi dude my your fan..having a problem ..my 1 motor is not spinning. fast so my quadcopter is flipping. .escape calibrated and props in right direction ,so what could be the problem?
Quadcopter yaws by slowing down two opposite motors. So, it's not weird if they stop at very low throttle. You can't fly with very low throttle anyways so it doesn't really matter as long as quad flies good.
i have found this video very helpful but i have a problem, my quadcopters motors speed up by themselves, like if i have it on flat surface and give say 10% throttle and dont touch stick it raises motor speed itself after about 2-3 seconds, and this makes maintaining a height very difficult when im flying because it just gains altitude. do you have any ideas?
Hi! im a big fan of your videos, and I noticed something that I've been having trouble with. At 2:20 you moved the stick forward for elevator and it showed "back" on the board. Shouldn't it be the other way around? thanks
Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't get all zeros because of the bad gimbal potentiometers in 9XR either. You can't do anything about it on the KK2.0. +2/-2 is OK, you can fly with this with no problem.
ok, ive just tried all that again, but not change, if i do receiver test and set throttle to 20 and leave it, it stays on 20 so i assume the controller is ok, the esc's are turnigy plush, could flashing them with a flash board help? i can see that you get a lot of questions so i appreciate your reply, thanks
Very well! Without rocking the camera, without paused slow speech, quickly and understandable, great editing! Best ratings from me, thank You very much!

Great video. Very easy to follow and good production value. Well done!
Flight went well, I used stock gain settings and it was pretty good. I might try yours and see how it goes. Many thanks again.
I used these settings on kk 2.1.5 version- 1.9 and it is very stable now. Thank you.
This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for the help.
Espectacular lo tuyo.,por fin alguien muestra con detalle la programacíon de este aparatito thank you te felicito daniel
Thanks for the video, I had my P-limits way too low, down in the 15-20 range. Followed your video and now I can toss it around in the air. Thanks!
Thanks for this vid - Just about ready for this 'stage' now so going through your steps tomorrow ! Wish me luck!
Good luck! ;)

Thanks to your video. Finally flew with my quadX.
Awesome! Enjoy! ;)
Exellent-everything is great,background music and explanations,every videos should be like yours subed
Thanks!
i just wanted to let you know i flashed my kk2 board to 1.6 firmware today and its hovering much better, thanks again for your help
you channel is so mutch great (i m french) and that so easy to understand . thank you a lot for all of your video. keep doing it .
thanks for this, i was looking for something like this for some time now, and this is exactly what i needed. cheers mate!

Another great video, i know about the KK 2.0 but still had to watch your video, as they are so well made and informative, keep them coming.. :-)
I wonder if you've had trouble with my CALIBRATION ACC board is giving error. What could I do to solve
Wow! Amazing video! I wish all videos were this helpful!
Hello there
I just put together my first quad with KK2.1.5 board. Followed your video, didn't miss anything.

Very well explained your video
I have the following problem: perform all the steps you explain in the video but the engines do not move,
solamenten move when oppressed have 2 buttons, loose and stop working. Thanks for your help.
Thank you very much for this impressive and very useful tutorial video.
This configuration works fine on my drone, Frame style F450, engines a2212 1000kV, esc Generic 30a, KK2.1.5 mini, TR FS-CT6B. Thanks for sharing.
HELLO, SORRY MY MYSTAKE, BUT I WAS TRYING TO LIGHTEN A DISPLAY OF KK2.0 NOW DO NOT SEE WHAT IS WRITTEN. HOW DO I GO BACK LCD, RESET? HOW? I SEE NOTHING. THANK YOU, EDUARDO
Try to reflash the firmware.
The quality of your video camera is very good and sharp!! Great vid :)
What camera are you using ?
LOL! In these videos I used just an iPhone 4 and couple of lights. ;) No heavy post processing either. However, I recently bought DSLR, lights and some other video gear so expect much much better videos in couple of weeks! ;)

BTW, my board's firmware is v1.5, which is the same as yours.
hi again :). another question from the noobie me. if you put leds on your quad, were do you have to put the JR connector on? on the board? or what?
Hi I did all these settings and then when I go to take off it just doesn't take off at full throttle. All the motors are spinning the way the kk2 motor layout shows. But then when I do opposite of what the kk2 shows the quadcopter takes off and then spins out of control. Much help is needed.

Great vid. I can see u have firmware 1.5 on, is it better than the 1.2? i ve read that the 1.5 is not so good. Wich one do you recommend?
tnx.
1.5 is way better that 1.2, especially in self-level mode. I recommend 1.6 now.
1.6 on. tnx for the helpful videos.
Great Vid, many thanks - it's helped me a lot. Quick question, under receiver test I am unable to completely zero out the figures using thetransmitter trims .Closest I can get to is about +2/-2. (It's a cheap transmitter). Are there any settings on the KK board to help trim to zero ?
Thanks Mate well explained , and the results were perfect !!!!!
Excellent video
Okay, that looks better to me too then. But then one more question, i have an dx5e en an ar600. In the video you sad switch is self level but which switch is that on the dx5e? And what channel? Aux1?
thanks so much ! never find something better explained....

Try debugging it and a factory reset
I think your videos are outstanding. Question, when plugging in the battery to FCB, does the quad have to be on a completely flat/level surface? The FCB is KK2.0 V1.5. Keep up the videos.
Sorry for the late reply! No, I does not have to be completely level, but avoid upside down power on.
Hi, i found that the value of AUX is -109 OFF when i go to the receiver test, is that normal?
Yes, that is completely normal. You see, AUX is usually assigned to switch on you transmitter so it's either -100 or +100... You can assign it to pot, but that doesn't make sense.
Thanks! Right now I'm doing this just for fun and to help out other people. Comments like yours are my pay-check. ;)

Hi there, thanks for the great videos
In step 11, I rock the quad as described but it doesn't sound to me like there is any difference in motor speeds.. could I have done something wrong?
Richard
It's relatively hard to hear the difference. Put your ear next to the motor.
First, be 100% positive that you've performed ESC calibration properly. Try to hold buttons longer before putting throttle to idle (wait for more beeps or something). Some ESC's may behave differently.
If that doesn't work, try to switch two motors on the KK2.0 board. Switch one motor that starts normally and one it doesn't. If the problem moves with the motor, then you know that the problem is with the board. If the same motor starts late, then the problem is in ESC/motor.
I mean can't get the to start. ..all settings looks closely to yours any advice thanx
simple and thorough. thank you! this helped alot!
Thanks!
Great video. I have a Turnigy 9x. Can you point me in the direction of how to set this transmitter up for use with a KK2.1? Heli or Plane mode.
I never had Turnigy 9X with stock firmware so can't help you with that. But if you flash it with er9x then it's the same as in my videos with 9XR
I have bought myfirst building quadrocopter, but I have buy the KK 2.1, is it almost the same setup ass this KK2.0?
Great Work you have doing with this quad!
Thanks!
when i do the esc calibration, everything goes well until the part where you bring the throttle to idle: the motors start running and no beeps go off.
please help
same here, did you solve it?
hi i have made a quadcopter using kk2.1.5 but the problem is that when i shake the quad so the motor that downs should speed up but that does not happens would you please help me. ill be very thankful to you.
shridhar sharma enable self level
Is it just my board or do you actually have to load the motor layout every time you want to fly?
No, you don't have to load motor layout every time you want to fly. Just once.
Perfect, just the thing i needed to get my quad going
Okay, is it possible to have 2 batteries for one kk 2 board? So you have double the flying time?
great series,thanx alot.i am a beginner using the same frame as that of urs,same flight conroller, what rpm motors should i use,using 3s 2200mah LIPPO and turnigy plush 25amp ESC. ALSO how to select the prop type,slow flying or which one
cool stuff bro many thanks for this videos , just one more thing , my quad slightly drifts to the left ,and forward what can you advise to fix ?thanks a lot!
Thanks man! It depends. If it drifts in auto-level mode check out dhdsracers video on KK2.0 auto-level to see how you can fix this. If it drifts in manual mode, then you should adjust your trims on your transmitter. Of course, make sure you're doing this in perfectly calm weather, preferably in closed area, otherwise you will be compensating for the wind which doesn't make sense.
eluminerRC thank you dude , you are the best )) keep continue with this , i learned many interesting solutions from your videos )) cheerzzz
hi dude my your fan..having a problem ..my 1 motor is not spinning. fast so my quadcopter is flipping. .escape calibrated and props in right direction ,so what could be the problem?
change the any two wire between the esc and moter
I Have Fly Sky IA6 6Ch Can I Do This Setting...? Is This Work On It..?
where do you get them prop adapter from. because the ones i got are crap
Quadcopter yaws by slowing down two opposite motors. So, it's not weird if they stop at very low throttle. You can't fly with very low throttle anyways so it doesn't really matter as long as quad flies good.
I see it. OMG thank you sooooo much ;D im searching for that thing for a month now. Thx soo much ;).
I cant spin my motor with kk 2.1 and how to celebration my esc. Please help me
please give me transmitter setup for this quadcopter.and when iam trotle up my motor that is stop.answer
I'm using a fs th9x transmitter with a kk2 how do I reverse the channels on the kk2 cuz when I go right on the left stick its going left
+george aura You probably figured it out by now, but if you go to your FUNC SETTINGS menu, it will be the first option on the list.
well made video! very clear presentation, Thank you
i have found this video very helpful but i have a problem, my quadcopters motors speed up by themselves, like if i have it on flat surface and give say 10% throttle and dont touch stick it raises motor speed itself after about 2-3 seconds, and this makes maintaining a height very difficult when im flying because it just gains altitude. do you have any ideas?
my reciever test did not work. none of my values on the screen changed when i moved the sticks they just stayed at zero
Hi! im a big fan of your videos, and I noticed something that I've been having trouble with. At 2:20 you moved the stick forward for elevator and it showed "back" on the board. Shouldn't it be the other way around? thanks
Sure. For that you need parallel connector. But stick with one battery until you gain some experience.
Can I use the setup like PI setup for 250 class quadcopter? Thanks.
To start with, yes. For further tuning, please check out my KK2.0 tuning guide.
Where do you have to put that on the quad? And it sais it makes a noice but your motors make much more noise i think? (I have the dx5)
Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't get all zeros because of the bad gimbal potentiometers in 9XR either. You can't do anything about it on the KK2.0. +2/-2 is OK, you can fly with this with no problem.
ok, ive just tried all that again, but not change, if i do receiver test and set throttle to 20 and leave it, it stays on 20 so i assume the controller is ok, the esc's are turnigy plush, could flashing them with a flash board help? i can see that you get a lot of questions so i appreciate your reply, thanks
my board is not working it will get blank no sound at all and why we need to flash the kk board
When the voltage alarm goes off, how many time do you have left before the battery is dead?
This is the the best, easy-to-understand setup for the KK2. Can these calibrations be used on a tricopter? If not, can you please make a video for it?
