When throttling up my drone up to full speed, I am getting some weird motor speed variances. Do you think the nano may be causing this? Or are my speed controllers failing?
Do you mean the motor output in the WinGUI when staying on the table without propellers ?
If yes, this is normal as the flight controller always react to environment.
Note: More info HERE
Yes and no. I found that when I turn off my transmitter to test the auto landing feature, the right rear motor will turn off at low RPMs. Also, when I flew the drone without the nano, my drone would flip over and crash before taking off because of varying motor speeds.
Any suggestions?
I don’t understand, you can’t fly a Drone without a flight controller.
What do you mean by “fly without the Nano”?
For the difference in rpm, have you performed the esc calibration on each of them?
Sorry, I meant to say that before I purchased the nano, I was using a multiwii flight controller and had issues with the motors spinning at different RPMs. This caused the drone to flip over before even taking off.
Yes, I have performed a esc calibration for each motor.
Thanks!
Are you using four motors and four esc’s exactly the same ?
There are two things that can lead to a flip at take-off.
]The motors are not spinning the right direction based on their location./:m]
]Wrong propeller type (Clockwise / Counterclockwise) for the motor rotation & location./:m]
]ESC’s connection to the different “pins” are wrong for their location./:m]
Most multiwii flight controller use an Atmega 328 processor but the Quadrino Nano use an Atmega 2560 and the motor pinout is different for those two controllers.
Here is the Quadrino Nano flight controller normal Quadcopter X motor connection and propellers rotation. Note that the colors should match the motor wiring harness. (top is forward)
