Hello everybody this is my first adventure into FPV drones, and I sure could use your help !
Let me tell you my story !
Or skip the story and go to the bottom.
So, I bought the Rise indorfin 130 fpv racing all-in-one kit. Yeah, I know, I know, but this is litteraly my first time trying FPV drone flying !
So let me tell you what happened.
I bought this thing and had a great time flying it. It really zips ! As expected, I had a little tumble. After my little crash it didn't quite fly straight. It was turning a little bit to the right, and it was tilting a little bit to the right as well. I had to hold almost 60% on both of the sticks to the left to keep it steady.
Well that was a bummer !
I did a little research & read the manual on how to recalibrate the gyros if this happens. That it might fix the problem. okay so I have to connect to betaflight to do that.
So I literally took a few hours to learn everything I could about Betaflight.
Installed it.
Installed all the drivers.
Once done I connected the drone to BF, and all I did was push the reset calibration button. Thats it.
I watched the onscreen drone make the correction.
So, after doing that I disconnected the Drone from my computer and tried to fly it again to see if my problem was fixed.
But i cant tell, not yet, still dont know if it worked, because now I have a new problem. after the Cal Reset, I can not arm the motors !
In order to arm the motors i need to hold Lstick bottom right to arm the motors. Also a switch needs to be in a certain position. it was.
Still no arming Beep.
No prop movement.
Controller is connected.
No recponce.
I just reset the callibration.
Hmm, so i checked betaflight again to see if I could figure out if my controller was in pudding (i wont even correct that voice-rec error!) so i was not seeing any motion on the screen when moving the sticks.
Controller no workie.
So i researched and googled and youtubed to find a fix. My controller was connected to the drone. there is an indicator light on the bottom. and i tried reconnecting it several times. Still,
no input detected in Betaflight.
Can't arm motors.
So In a desperate move, I thought maybe if I were to update the firmware it might snap it out of its funk. I went back into Betaflight.
Go to firmware tab.
I can see the list of FC boards in the top selection window, but none seem to match what it said when I connected it.
And at the moment that I am writing this I cannot remember what exactly it was.
but it was like four letters srf3, maybe.
But anyway
I couldn't find that specific board name in the list I had availlable. so like a noob I chose betaflightf3 because I think I read something in the manual it said F3 so it seemed like a good idea at the time. so yeah I downloaded that firmware and copied it to the drone and now it's not happy at all !
Surprise.
it won't even connect now. I'm sure you guys are all laughing at me, but hey that's ok ! I don't know. I may have ruined the FC or I might have even bricked it. I took it back to the Hobby Shop, but they won't have their technician in until Monday, I also messaged the manufacturer Rise, on their website. But they wont get back to me untill Monday at the earliest. prob not tho.
So, I thought I would ask you guys.
If I knew which was the right firmware for my drone, (Rise indorfin 130) I might be able to get it working again !
Sorry for the long story !
Thanks for your help !
