Need help drone won't connect to betaflight

[broncosdad1317]

New drone won't connect to betaflight. What is this newbie doing wrong please help

So you have downloaded bf to your computer? You may want to download impulse rc driver fixer.

 

[broncosdad1317]

whats that for??

 

[Wayno52]

It will diagnose and fix any driver issues and then you will be able to connect to bf

 

[broncosdad1317]

Says searching for flight controller. Doesn't find anything

 

[broncosdad1317]

Drone just beeps and doesn't stop

 

[broncosdad1317]

Now I uninstalled betaflight. I'll if it was a bad one or not. I'm so confused and overwhelmed and I can't figure this out . Uhg

 

[Wayno52]

Yeah mate we have all been there and I am still overwhelmed by the techy stuff. I’m afraid my very limited knowledge is not enough to figure this one out. I’m sure one or more of our tech gurus will chime in soon and help you get that bird in the air.
Hang tight

bird was i the air already i want to hook up to betaflight so i can tune my sticks sensitivity and throttle sensitivity and min and max as well as other stuff. and thank you for your time though

 

[Wayno52]

You may need to download zadig.
This is a good helpful vid.

I got it connected to betaflight finally. Now I need help figuring out some other stuff. Like when I go in my reciever section the little picture of my drone and it's slowly spinning and my yaw and throttle bars on the screen are constantly moving slightly. What's that mean. How do I calibrate my sticks or controller I don't think their right. Also need to know a good throttle limit and max as well as the idle %setting

 

[Wayno52]

You really shouldn’t need to do too much until you find a problem or want to up your rates. This is a great vid for first set up, bit long but very helpful.

Any luck?

Yeah I got it connected and did most of what I wanted to do. Now I just can't figure out how to get acro mode on there. It came with horizon and angle and air modes. No acro. The manual says it came stock with switch g set to lock,horizon and manual mode(which I would guess is acro but there's nothing on bf that says acro or manual mode

Acro is actually when you have no self leveling mode selected. Go into betaflight configuration and make a switch position that has no leveling mode selected. That will be acro
