KK2.0 Multicopter ESC Calibration, Motor Layout, and Auto-Level w/ Default Settings on AeroSky Quad
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- This is a continuation in a series of getting an AeroSky Quadcopter running with the KK 2.0 board. The first video walked through the KK2.0 firmware upgrade:
• How to Upgrade Hobby K...
This video demonstrates how to get your quad in the air without any tuning and flying in auto-level mode. I walk you through ESC calibration, motor layout, accelerometer calibration, and using the default settings. As you can tell from the vid the quad flies pretty well, but there is still some tuning that needs to be done.
In the next vid I will walk through tuning the KK2.0 and getting everything dialed in so that even a novice can fly the quad.

No, I haven't. Is it sluggish or non-responsive? If it's sluggish then consider turning up your gains. If it doesn't respond at all then I'm uncertain what to recommend. Does it fly okay in acro mode?
Are you flying with a 3S or 4S lipo? Also, make sure you've done the ESC calibration routine which will set your low and high endpoints. If they're not calibrated you may not be getting the full range of throttle. Are you able to get your quad off the ground and hover?
What gives an error? Your DEVO7 or KK2? I've done this with the Walkera WK-2801Pro so I would expect that you'd be able to do this with the DEVO7.
Sorry to hear that. Make sure that you have proper vibration damping as I've heard that some of these boards do crazy things when there are too many vibes. Were you hovering okay and all of a sudden it flipped over?
Thank you very much Sir! This video really helped me setup the KK2. I am a fixed wing man who is new to quads. Thanks again for taking the time to make this vid. Chris, UK
No problem, Frank. I'm currently doing a KK2 build right now and am having all sorts of problems. I just posted a vid about it. I think the board is defective. Anyway, I'm glad this helped and thanks for watching.
Have you messed with your autolevel gains at all? What happens when you do an acc calibration? Perhaps you've accidentally tweaked a configuration or a sensor has gone bad. Worse case I would reload the firmware and see what happens from there.
Good to know that your motors and ESCs are working properly and it sounds like your throttle channels is normal and not reversed. The next thing I would try is your rudder channel to see if you can arm your KK by pushing your throttle stick to the left.
What do you mean by "DJI M"? Are you referring to the "DJI NAZA M"? If so, they basically do the same thing to stabilize your multirotor, but the NAZA M is a more sophisticated flight controller. It also has the ability to add GPS. At the same time the KK2 is tough to beat for the money and you can configure it without a computer since it has an LCD screen. The KK2 is obviously much cheaper too, but there is the NAZA Lite which is cheaper than the NAZA V2.
great guide, this was truly big help for someone who is about to build quad with KK2.1.5 and has no idea what to do with it :D Thanks!
Samppanen No problem. Thanks for watching and the feedback.
Hey guys!!! This is really useful! If you have a KK2 board, make it so your auto-leveling on/off is set to aux1!
Right. Or you can use your sticks to configure auto-level should you choose to do so. But I really like being able to toggle in-air with a switch.
Dennis both tips you provide are very sound, will give them a try on my next go. Thank you very much for taking the time to research and post that!
No problem. That sounds like a royal pain. Have you experimented with using a fixed ID for binding? I know the WK-2801 supports it and from what I understand binding happens much quicker, which may allow you to get around this problem.
Hey Dennis!
Im new in this hobby,but im wonder,can this kk2 calibrate every type of esc,im thinkig of buying q-brain from hk, or do i have to buy that card to calibrate, and what do you think about that q-brain esc?. Does the kk2 came with the latest fw, if not how do i get it?
// Andreas
I'm not sure if the KK2 can calibrate every type of ESC. But I do know that you can calibrate your ESCs without the KK2 since each type of ESC has its own calibration method. I normally calibrate my ESCs manually without the KK2. I'm not sure about the q-brain ESC, but it looks interesting. Let me know what you find out. The KK2 may come with the latest firmware, but that's dependent on where you purchase it. Definitely check the specs listed from wherever you're purchasing.
Hi, I bought a turnegy micro quad with kk2 board, but I could not find a correct setup. It is very instable when self level is enable.
I already have tried a lots of configurations, but it still instable. Do you have some suggestion to me?
Thanks in advanced.
Roge
Hi Roge, I'm surprised to hear that you're having problems with stability. Especially with a ready to fly quad from HobbyKing. If it's a small quad I would recommend bringing the gains down a good bit. Do you have a link to the quad that you purchased?
Gordon, thank you for the feedback. It's very much appreciated.
No problem. I'm glad to hear you figured it out. I had this problem when I first got my KK2, but switched to X mode and everything was flying nicely.
Ciao Dennis, ho guardato il video che mi hai consigliato ma non ho risolto il problema, o meglio non riesco a usare Alarm voltage. Nessuno mi sa dire come si fa, a questo punto penso che si possa fare il settaggio solo se la centralina di volo ha una sua batteria dedicata. Per me non c'è nessuna altra spiegazione. Ciao e grazie ancora. SILVANO
Hey, Need Help !
Even after caliberating the escs the motors are not starting at the same time. What should I do?
can you help? motos 3 and 4 are not rotating...I have calibrated the ESCs many times. Is something wrong with the ESCs or can the problem be the bullet connectors?
Please Help
Thank you for the feedback. I didn't realize how popular the AeroSky quad is, but a lot of people are flying with it from what I can tell. I have another AeroSky quad that someone shipped me to help with so I'll be doing some more config stuff. Yes, that's a mini that I built almost 2 years ago and is a great place to skate when it's too hot or raining outside :)
You are definitely right. I had the KK1 from HobbyKing and it was such a pain to tune with the analog pots, but this KK2 with LCD screen is incredible. You can argue that it's even better than Naza given the screen and low cost.
Yeah I'm actually building a fpv turnigy microquad which uses the kk2 board also. Your knowledge of the kk2 board is quite universal though. I also like that you're using like the cheapest controller ever and don't even care lol. It's all about love for the hobby man.
I personally think the KK2 LCD is the best flight controller for the money. I fly them in my AP quads and never have any problems. And the simplicity of tuning is just amazing!
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. ESCs are MultiStar OPTO 20A.
I am facing a problem that my kk board is showing armed after arming but when I give it some thorttle it did not rotate
Hello.
I have a little question.
I have KK2.1.5 flight controller and speed controller 4x RC Simonk 30A ESC Brushless Motor Speed Controller for Multicopter BEC 5V / 2A.
To connect them have I disconnect the plus wire from BEC in M2-M4 connections and leave plus just only in the M1, or can i connected regular without disconnect anything (3 wire from BEC to controller )?
Thanks
Alex
אלכס זינגר You've done it the right way by only leaving power from one of the ESC connections. I've done it many times without removing any power leads and have never run into problems, but the safe way is to do what you're doing. Good luck with your setup.
You're definitely right. I'm always amazed how you can get a cheap controller for $15 and have a pretty awesome quad. The MWC is a good FC for the money. But you definitely can't go wrong with the KK2.
hello Dennis
i have built my first quadcopter and i have installed your configurations though the quadcopter is not rising vertically! what could be the problem? thanks
Will you post this on www.garagepilots.com in the forums with some more info? Perhaps we can help you out over there. Good luck!
This is one of the best videos on the subject.
Yes. I should have it ready in the next day or two. Thanks for watching.
Sounds like that came out of nowhere. I had a problem with my ArduCopter where this happened once and never really understood what happened. It took a while to regain confidence to get it back in the air again. Hope you didn't sustain much damage.
my produced kk2.1.5 ,2.4G remote ,Asc ,and seinsar moter .only 4 I have product .but I do not set moter .
please help me
If any product not able bal me
please ask me
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?
Hii,
I have a problem I bought the kk 2.1.5 board already with the DJI F450 Quadcopter, and when I do the accelerometer calibration it always calibrates with
ACC x: 512 OK
ACC y: 512 OK
ACC z: 512 OK
In the sensor test menu, I always show the result 512 for all calibrations.
And when I try to fly with the drone it doesn’t stay stable, it always tends to the right and turns upside down.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks.
Sir i am using kk2.1.5 and fs 6ct6b but the verticle range of my drone is about 50metre how to increase its height?
ok well i got the the same quad as the one in your video and i notice that it all ready came with the 5ch and auto level.i know you told me witch battery to use but what about the c rating.and when i put on the props i notice that it came with washers should i put them on?does yours have washers.oh and also do you thing i should upgrade to the 9x or just use the aerosky.thanks for the feed back.
what frame is it?
It's a clone of the DJI F450 frame. Here is another clone: amzn.to/2d14MdY
After I calibrate the motors, when I move my throttle down and to the right, my board does not ARM. Did I miss something?
Pavlo Vlastos Check that your sticks are not reversed because sometimes that happens. So down and to the right physically may end up top and to the left. Most TX models have the ability to view the display of the sticks on the screen. Another issue may be that your down position isn't low enough so you may need to trim the throttle down just as a test. There are so many things that could go wrong here, but if you feel you've done the proper calibration and everything is connected correctly then it may be a TX config issue.
The only video on RUclips witch accurate information. Thanks Man!!
can any of you please say why my quadcopter shows " Error. Self-level is OFF'' instead of SAFE . its keeps making sound while shows Error . I need to sort out this to fly the copter . pls help me
Which firmware are you running? My KK2 came with 1.2 firmware and then I flashed it with lazyzero.com to firmware 1.5 then the auto level worked much iuch better, But it has been reported the acro is not as good with 1.5
Hey Dennis. I have HK new KK2 Hard Case board. I tried ACC calibration, but I get calibration failed. ACC Z NOT OK. What can I do about that?
jerry zito Hmmm I'm not sure. I haven't messed with the KK2 in quite some time. My first thing would be to try a new firmware load and make sure everything is completely level when you calibrate. Sorry I wish I could be of more help.
Exactly what I would have said Dennis. Some gremlin could have been introduced when reflashing. Using the latest non-beta firmware should be the best and as I've been saying earlier, make sure the board, not so much the quad frame is level. Obviously your Gyro is out of range and perhaps a recalibration will fix it. Hang on... it's a cased board. I assume it's up the right way ??? The label must be DOWN. Having it up will throw the gyro right out. Other than that it could be a bad board.
Denis can you please help me in setting up my Kk flight controller as it disarms itself when I push on throttle.
hi i know its been ages since this vid was posted but I still want to ask.
I have the board and setup just like in your videos. now.. i put it on ground, calibrate the acc all good.. arming with self level on... it sounds ok for few seconds then one of the effin motors just goes nuts and speeds to max.
any ideas?
mingiasi I'd try to do an individual throttle calibration for each ESC. Perhaps that can help. If that doesn't help swap that motor out with one of your others to try and determine if it's an issue with the motor or ESC. Good luck and keep us posted.
Dennis Baldwin OK but what if i have one of those 4in1 qbrain esc? same ?
Also the throttle input is stable for 1-2 seconds then goes ballistic. it seems motors 1 and 4 spin up for some reason like it's trying to level. Ive been through the settings twice now.. still clueless.
edit: Only thing i havent yet messed around with is mixer settings. any hint how they supposed to be set?
You don't technically need a PDB, but you need a way to power all your ESCs from your battery. The PDB is generally the cleanest way to do this, but if you look around for pigtails you'll see that you can have power from your battery cable split into multiple leads to feed your ESCs. You can even make your own, which I've done a few times. It's kind of a pain but sometimes gets the job done nicely.
Yes, this could carry a GoPro. You'll need a good way to mount it or a gimbal. There's a tab on the bottom plate that you could mount it to. Yes, auto-level returns the quad back to level if you're pitching and rolling in any direction.
Hi i have a HJ-Y3 Glass Fiber Tricopter, fitted with kk2 2.15 flight control, sunny sky x22045 2300kv motors, 6x4.5 props and voltech magic 30amp simon k BEC and my transmitter is a Devo 10 , my problem is when i try to take off the trycopter flips to the left on to its back, all motors and props are turning the right way and are fitted correctly and the BEC.S are in the correct place on the KK2 Board can you help please ty
Anthony Dixon Hi there. I haven't setup a tri before so I don't know if there's something specific to the tri configuration, but one thing that may be worth checking is that your ESCs are calibrated. Otherwise that could cause one motor to spin faster than the others and cause the behavior you're seeing. Have you done the KK calibration routines? Those are a couple things that come to mind.
Dennis Baldwin Hi ty for your reply , yes iv dun the ESC calibrating with my kk2 iv also re set everything to factory setting started agine from the start seting everything to make sure i nt forgot anything but still when throttle only is used it flips still to the left
Could this carry a gopro? And what exactly does auto level do? Does it make it to where when you let go of the sticks it returns to level? I would appreciate your help. Thanks
Hey Dennis, could u pls hlp me on how to make all the ESC's of my dualcopter to run at the same speed???
am a new flyer ad really its confusing on the connections of the KK 2.1 board and the controls on the transmitter....
Jithin Mohan It's hard to say without knowing more about your setup. Perhaps you'd be willing to post in the forums at www.garagepilots.com and share more info.
There are a few videos on RUclips which give tutorials on how to calibrate ESCs with the KK2 board. The usual word of warning, remove the props first. It involves holding down buttons 1 and 4 whilst powering up your quad, with the throttle on the TX at maximum. Wait for the booting beeps to finish and then lower the throttle to idle, wait for the beeps to finish and power off you quad then your TX. .. It's a rather awkward procedure to carry out with only two hands. I made a power lead up which goes between the quad and the battery. Another trick is grabbing an interested bystander to power up the quad for you. Others use the old washing pegs to hold the buttons down :-) Good Luck and happy flying.
My KK2.0 is working 100% but my quad wants to yaw to the right, should I just trim it out with the radio trim
***** I do normally trim if the movement is pretty subtle. If it's too aggressive then I would look at your gains as well as make sure all your motors are level. If you're flying a tri then obviously the rudder can cause problems :)
Dennis Baldwin
Thanks I just gave it a few clicks of trim works great. thanks for the response......
How do you trim? Mine only goes up on one side when I take off
When you switch on for a fly try making sure the quad is sitting as close to level as you can. Other than that, I've seen two H8Cs behave in a similar fashion. Both of them had one bad motor. Once they were replaced everything behaved as it should. It was probably coincidence, but both were motors Number 3. A CCW type.
propfella I ditched the KK2 board and went with the CC3D board Now my Quad is alive.ruclips.net/video/yhK6cwzk1QA/видео.html
Good to know. I just posted a vid where my PI settings where pretty close to yours (75/40). Good luck with your KK firmware upgrade and rebuild.
Help! mine will not arm? it was working fine, i put a new anti vibration mount on to attach the board to. it powered back up and motors worked but altering and rudder seemed to be swapped. i went back through everything to sort it out and now it won't arm so i can check it? went over receiver and motor connections many times now. it powers up but no arming? I'm stumped.
+Rampage I would do another sensor calibration if you haven't already. It's hard to say what's going on without seeing the problem, but hopefully a calibration can get it to where you at least arm it. Let us know what you find out.
+Dennis Baldwin Hey Dennis thanks for responding. It was as usual, something simple. Throttle trim was not zeroed out on the transmitter lol.
i have the kk 2.1.5 board on a f450 frame with 1100kv motors.. i have tried four or five different gain and limit values for P and I.. from various tuning videos.. with no avail. my x-quad still wobbles uncontrollably in the air. i don't know that to do. please help. :(
Najibul Haque Sorry to hear that. It really took me a bunch of trial and error to get my KK tuned in. All I can say is hang in there and lightly tune your params. I've found that making too large of an adjustment can make tuning a big hassle to get to values that work. The 450 size frame is a very common one so you should be able to work from the gains in this video. Hang in there and don't give up.
hey maybe this will help???? check out were you live? and see if there is a Parks were people Fly Quads I have a F450 Quad.. here in San Jose, California there is a Park close by they fly ever Sunday and I have BUGGED them a lot and learned many things... I am real new at this.. but these people will help you!!! do not be afraid to ask!!! they been were your and at... give it a try... people that Fly Quads are REAL nice people.... remember this hehehehehe some of these people will talk you ear off about Quads hehehehe Just be kind and listen heheh Hope this will help? Best of Luck ;O)
A few possibilities:
1. Your Self-Level "P" settings are too high. Essentially your quad overcorrects one direction, then overcorrects the other way. I fly a 450 X-Quad with a KK and I've got my P settings down to 30.
2. Your props are wildly unbalanced.
3. You're using ESCs without the SimonK firmware and they're not responding quickly enough to throttle changes.
That would be my list of off the top of my head.
thanks for replying guys. i tried a couple of other values but it didn't work. it still wobbles about its axis violently in the air. to check if there was something wrong with the setup i hooked up the old kkmulticopter v5.5, and it flies fine. the motors, props and ESCs are all working fine.
its only with the new 2.1.5 that im having the wobbling issue. it wobbles with or without the self-level function on. id rather have it fly stable first and then turn on the self-level.
I haven't heard of the SimonK firmware for escs tho. i wonder if its only required for the 2.1.5 board. ill have to look into that.
but once again thanks for the insight guys :)
One tip I always give is, NEVER EVER use other people's settings. They can cause more trouble than they're worth. I find it better to try the quad out before adjusting anything. Just a good level when setting up the basics and suck it and see. The calibrating of ESCs many people have trouble with. Follow the DHDSRacer's (I think that's his ID) video here on RUclips and you should be OK. Then test using low throttle to see if the quad is going to behave and then start adjusting. Just remember to take the settings a little at a time. It is an art of sorts, once you get the feel of which does what it gets easier. I've managed to do the basics setup on a KK2 and then take off and fly pretty well. A few minor adjustments and everything seemed to slot into place. I just wish they were all so easy. Yes I've copied those settings into an almost identical build and it flew like a house brick. :-)
Yeah you're the man for this video. Is that a mini ramp in your garage? You're like the coolest guy ever lol.
A 25-30C rating should be okay. The AeroSky that I have does not have prop washers. I definitely recommend upgrading to the Turnigy 9X at some point. Just keep in mind you'll need to get a new RX because the AeroSky RX isn't compatible.
How to couple or syncronize 2 kk board... Or is there some motor oitput extension board... For more than 8 motors
Dennis you must have the best much watch how to video on RUclips for the KK2 board..... I thank you.... God bless
What size props are you using? Is it 450 frame?
10x4.5 props. Yes, it's pretty close to a 450mm size frame if I recall.
Thanks Larry. I'm getting close to having it dialed in and then I'll ship it back up your way and let you have a maiden flight with it.
glad I've found your channel Dennis your info is invaluable to a newbie like me..a big thumbs up!
Man thanks :)
Jose, thank you for the feedback. For the time being we're going to stick with the AeroSky TX but I do plan on doing more vids with the 9X and my other quads. I plan on doing one more vid that shows how I got my PI settings for the AeroSky quad.
Hi, i have turnigy multistar 30 amp esc and flashed it with simonk. Now i am wondering should i connect all 4 escs to the kk2 board with hot and negative wire on. and also from kk2 board to the receiver with all three wires(servo wire)X4 wires. Hope i can make u understand with my little knowledge of English.Thnks
Hi, I've connected my KK2 many times with ESCs that have a BEC. I've done this without removing the power and ground cable on the servos so you should be fine. I know some pilots recommend keeping only one ESC w/ BEC and for all others only using the signal pin, but from my experience it should work without having to do that. I haven't used Multistar ESCs but my ESCs did have BECs and SimonK firmware.
is it possible to do this with different esc's? i have one Turnigy Plush and 3 turnigy mutlistars. not sure if that is a good idea, but so far the only probrlemy i have is my flight time is 5mins :( and the whole thing shuts off at 8 volts (including the kk 2.0 board) ??????
sir which wires are you using to connect your kk to receiver
i was looking to buy this quad but do you think i should build it my price range is $300 and if you think i should build one what transmitter and receiver shuold i get i was thinking of going with the orange t six..please reply.
great vid, however if I try to switch on my radio (DEVO7) with throttle up it gives an error. Kind of stuck on esc calibration with kk2 beacause of this. Would you have any hint to bypass this issue? Thanks
thanks fore the help, wounder about battary setting, i set up mine and i looks like i dont get the power ihave , juse 5000 45-90c bat, the quad feels like its have no power even when the batt is full. hav i done any setting wrong?
My team already setup like your setting, but the quadcopter is not flying vertically when we just pull up the throttle. It will just rotate right itself. If we then adjust move the rudder to the right, it will also rotate right itself. Do you know how to adjust it?
Have you checked your motor rotations and that you have the proper props for the motor - clockwise vs counter-clockwise rotation. That sounds like the problem to me, but if that's not the case then check out www.garagepilots.com and post your question in the forums over there. Thanks.
There is no way a quad would ever get off the ground if a motor was reversed or a prop not correct. I do wish people would stop giving that advice. I know of one guy who was told the same story and he reversed what he thought to be the offending one and his quad did an immediate flip and broke two arms and a motor mount. If a quad is able to lift off it's neither motor direction or props upside down. It sounds to me he has either his sticks set up incorrectly. His board definitely isn't getting the right instructions from his TX. Or the board has been set up incorrectly, possibly not being dead level during calibration. I prefer the latter.
I would say a good battery would be something like a 3S 2500 mA or 3000 mA battery. You could probably go a little larger, but you'll need to consider the weight that this will add to your setup.
Are you using the AeroSky TX and are you able to arm and fly? That would at least tell me that your sticks are operating correctly. BTW, please checkout garagepilots . com and post in the forums. We can help you out over there. Thanks!
Have you verified that your rudder channel isn't reversed? A simple test would be to go down and to the left to see if it arms. Another check is to make sure your throttle isn't reversed or no arming sequence will work. Let me know what you find out.
Thanks for the input. I set 60/30 on the p &i gains and it does good. I still need v1.5 though for quicker response. I crashed today so now I really have problems. Rebuild!
Thanks for posting this video....it helped me solve one small problem with getting my board going!!
whenever I give throttle the drone lifts from one side on self level mode also. please help me out .I'm using kk 2.1.5 with transmitter fly sky fs ct6b. plz tell the solution
+Hariom Aggarwal It's hard to say without knowing more about your setup. I would try ESC calibration and re-calibrating your gyro/compass. It's been a long time since I've flown with KK so I'm not entirely sure how to get it dialed in anymore. Good luck and let us know what you discover.
Dennis Baldwin thanks for the suggestion I would do the changes that you've told and let you know about my quad.
+Dennis Baldwin thanks mate . I've done the changes that you've told and finally my quad is also flying . I'm very thankful to you. I'm so happy that I cannot tell. thanks
Auxillary is 'off' how do i turn it on? I've connected channel 5 to Aux
Pls help me, if you now know how to
Thanks
To power the board, when you have all 4 motors connected, does the power come from the first motor, coming from the battery
Yes, the ESC plugged into M1 is what powers the KK2. Hope that helps.
Right :) Arming is necessary and you only need to learn how to do it once. Unless you switch to a different flight controller where the arming sequence is different. Hope you're in the air now.
Sounds like a plan. Good luck and keep us posted.
No problem at all. Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad it helped.
tank yoy sir, i have been having issues with my hex, but you set it straight.. WELL DONE and thank you TU
+Mishal Alkhodair Appreciate that. Thanks for the good words and glad you got it working.
Hey there! do you need to have a power distribution board always for a multicopter?
Hi Jack, thanks for the feedback. I just subscribed to your channel and will be following your mini quad project since I'm doing the same right now. Best of luck with it and look forward to seeing you get in the air.
Dennis thank you! With DEVO7 I get THSTK error on powering with throttle up. If I power and then raise the stick, impossible to bind afterwords.I actually gave up with the DEVO7 since my post here, and moved to a turnigy9X. I am still not flying though, for a "little problem". Posted a full report of my experience on my website, should it be of any interest.
Still interested in tips for the THSTK/throttle up issue on DEVO7 as I might want to use kk2 board with this radio on other quads. Thanks!
Just about to build my first 250 quad and found your vid. I got the kk2.1.5 board and was looking for set up info, thanks
snowy511 You bet. Thanks for watching and good luck with your setup.
Hey there....needs some advice on the esc's.....more specfically esc's that are linear. I blew up a KK board when I removed the
middle red wires from 3 of them. Im a little hesitant to install the esc's with all the wires in as I have a different quad. With different esc's. But the esc's are linear. I just dont want to blow up the esc's and the board again.
So this is where your advice comes in. So I have plush 25amp esc's. From what I know they are linear. Which means built in bec's. From anyone's experience would I be safe to connect the esc's without removing the middle (red) wires on 3 of them?
+drone19730602 This is probably my favorite thread on the subject: fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?29139-Why-disconnect-redundant-power-from-esc-s-bec you should be safe without removing the power lead....at least with CC3D I've done it many times over and over....with linear regulators.
My kk 2.1.5 is not showing any text.. please help
My drone move one side when fly what can i do please help me my flight controller is KK 2.1.5
Yeah that would be pretty tight. If you haven't seen it already check out the intro to Pretty Sweet. A lot of it was filmed with a quadcopter. If you search my channel for "FPV Quadcopter and Aerial Video for Intro in Pretty Sweet Skateboarding Video" you hear my commentary on it and see part of the intro.
Hi I followed up this tutorial and it's awesome, I just have 1 problem with the transmiter, right stick is moving my quadcopter, so If want to start to play with it, my right stick must be down, How can I fix it? thanks!
Diego Vera jimenez I'm wondering if you want to be in Mode 1 or Mode 2? Mode 2 is what I fly in and it means the throttle is on the left. So the throttle is all the way down and I can arm. Hopefully you have the right mode transmitter and just need to configure it.
Dennis Baldwin Thank you Dennis! The mode 2 works as expected, I just have one last problem now, looks like my motor 1 is spinning slower than the others, I alredy calibrated my esc many times, and I also are testing my quad in self level but I still having rhe same problem, if you know how to fix it, just let me know :)
I have just got one of these boards and it's great, but ONLY output no. 1 works.
Does someone know how to fix it???
can this controller be used for acrobatics and racing ?
What flies better, this or naza in your opinion?
do you have a video on how to bind the module to the tRX???
Turnigy 9xR to FR Sky Djt rfModule
I don't. I was helping a friend with his 9XR a while back and if I can get a hold of it again I'll definitely put a vid together.
Great video. I got mine flying because of your video. Thank you.
Micro Quads No problem. Glad you're in the air!

I have one of these, and getting it dialed in and then today messing with hight hold it did a front flip and I didn't do it??????? Any idea's??
Definitely...and it works nicely. Thanks for the comment.
Would anyone recommend this to a beginner for their first quad? I'm looking for something not too expensive to get started with that I can use on a few different builds while still being decent and easy to use for all of them.
My personal preference for a beginner is something in the X230-250 class. The Diatone 250 is a decent frame that can take hard knocks. You can even get a complete kit from Hobbyking that has everything but the radio, flight controller and charger.... Total cost with EVERYTHING is between $180-$240.
Here is an integration tutorial I made for that kit:

Good luck!
Viizzai It's not a bad setup for a first quad, but is largely dependent on what you're looking to do. The 450 size frame is popular, but I normally recommend smaller. Here is a build I've been working on over the years:

Event if you're not interested in the frame the components are good for a 250 size build. BTW I haven't flown the setup that @user/gadgettts recommends but it looks pretty good. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
please tell me about setting my 250mm quadcopter. i cant fly. please help
