Hello from MavicPilots

It flies. Now I just need to learn to fly it.

Any luck?

I'm getting better with the controls, but I definitely need to raise the D values. A sharp roll using Horizon mode and then letting going will have it wobble endlessly and end up crashing to the ground.

Do you have anything softening vibrations to the fc?
sounds like vibes getting to the fc

My friends and I got together today and we tinkered with everything. It turns out it the low throttle threshold was too low by 30 points and resulted in accumulating feedback. It’s been fixed now.

Well welcome to the forum Thunder .

Question, I haven't tested this out in the fields yet, but I have my failsafe set to land with a throttle value of 1100. I also have it set to turn on the beeper, anti-gravity mode, and horizon mode, and to remain powered on at that throttle for 10 seconds, before disarming. My arm minimum ESC value is set to 1040. So why are some of the motors as the drone revs on my carpet, prop-less, dropping to below 1040 resulting in motor oscillations?

Most people set it to drop, you are basically setting up a fly-away...imo

They often oscillate with no props

My first build naturally isn't the best. It flies, and it flies fast, but the battery is strapped to the bottom. Ideally I would like it to not drops as hard. I set the throttle to a value that will still have it descend, just not freefall, and the horizon mode should level out drone on disconnect, so it won't continue it's path except for what's left in the inertia. Like I said not tested.

Okay, I get that, but why is the ESC throttle signal below minimum of 1040. Some go to 1000.

Can't remember for sure but thinking you have to set it

Where is the failsafe minimum to be set.

Been a while since using betaflight so...not even sure thats the problem. If you have a sure disarm, put on props and try it out, may be ok

Will do.

Well, it's already out of service. :/ One of the quick release prop adapters blew apart during a propless motorless rev. Contacted DJI.

 

[VirtueViolater]

How much flight time on it?

I don't know. It hasn't flow that much. It's all new.

Worst case is a simple motor swap, sorry for your loss
