Hey guys - new drone pilot here! I just finished building my first proper drone (ummagawd 2fiddy).
I clipped some leaves in a tree yesterday and quickly disarmed the drone when I realised it was 'stuck'. Drone fell to the ground (maybe 10ft) had a soft landing. I retrieved the drone, pulled some leaves from the motors, and everything seemed fine. I took off again and after landing, it won't arm. When I plug in the battery I don't get any beeps - but the FC LEDs light up.
In Betaflight I get stick input, but in BLHeli Configurator it won't show any ESCs being recognized (yes battery is plugged in).
I've checked continuity from the neg and pos battery terminals to each motor pad - no continuity.
There's no visible damage to anything.
Would doing a full erase and reset of the FC firmware be a potential fix?
I just noticed - with everything disconnected except the battery leads, when I have it plugged in, it gets quite hot.
Any ideas on what to do from here? Any other steps I can take to rule out what the issue is?
