Lynxmotion hquad500 and quadrino nano full wiring diagram?

Hi Eric,

Im testing with no props on so the drone is on the ground so I can see the motors and when they all start and stop but I can also see the values through WinGUI. When I arm the board nothing happens until I raise the throttle to 1040 then the rear left motor starts but the other three don’t, as I increase the throttle more the two right hand motors begin to turn and the last one to start is the front left.

In FCT under “Options / Flight / Motor Stop” the motor stop box is ticket.

Thanks,

Simon

Eric,
Thank you for the profile .srm file. Which ‘Models’ page do I import this on? There is the option to import a profile on the quadrino nano FCT software ‘Welcome’ page, but it is looking for a config.h file and does not recognise the .srm file. I can find no ‘Models’ page on the WinGUI software. Thanks.
John

With that option selected (Motor Stop) the motor will now spin when you “ARM” the flight controller until you raise the throttle.
If they do not start all at the same time, raise the “Min Throttle” a little in WinGUI (FC Config / Min Throttle) and save.

This file is for the Spektrum transmitter as explained.

Eric,
Thank you. I have imported your profile in the models page of the Spektrum software with the transmitter attached (and powered from the USB with batteries out I have flashed successfully the quadrino FCT. I have connected the system to WinGUI. I have gone through the calibration of the ACC and MAG and the Flight deck images change when I rotate or roll the copter around. With the transmitter armed, the Flight Control shows Thrust, Pitc,h Roll and Yaw values changing up and down when I use the transmitter joysticks, but the motors are not doing anything. What have I missed now?

Eric,
You will be amazed to hear that I have managed to get the 4 motors turning at long last! I had to dismantle to calibrate the ESCs with the transmitter, then armed the copter and the motors all span… Off to try fitting propellers now… Many thanks.
John

Make sure you have both the motor rotation & propeller right prior to lift.
Also, you can set the “HORIZON” mode if you want level stabilization.

Hi Eric,

I have changed my min throttle to 1150 and the motors seem to be starting and stopping at the same time. But in WinGUI the readings for each motor are still different. I assume these readings should all be identical, and to make them identical do I just keep increasing the min throttle?

Thanks

This is normal when not in the air, have a look at MultiWii HERE.

Hi Eric,

I tried to fly my drone today, I put the props on and the motors all seemed to spin fine for a few seconds and then one by one they began to stop spinning, I had to disarm and arm the drone to get the motors to start again and everytime I did this they would spin for a few seconds and then stop spinning completely. Is there a problem with my motors or what is wrong?

Thanks

Simon

What’s the order of things happening exactly ?

  1. Arm the copter ?
  2. The motors spins or not ?
  3. Are you doing anything or just let them turn and they stop after a while ?

Yes so in this order:

  1. Arm the copter
  2. Give it some throttle
  3. Motors seem to spin fine for a few seconds and then stop

You might want to raise slightly the “Min Throttle” in WinGUI until it work great.

I raised the min throttle from 1150 to 1200 and now the motors dont spin at all. I disarmed the drone, disconnected the battery and turned the transmitter off (in that order) and then turned the transmitter back on and connected the battery and the ESC’s didn’t even make a noise this time. I armed the drone and the motors didn’t spin at all when I gave it Max throttle. Any ideas what the problem is?

This is not a normal behavior, are you sure you changed the “Min Throttle” not the “Min Command” ?

The ESC’s should ALWAYS make a noise when you power them no matter what is connected to them.
You might have a dead battery

Hi Eric,

I got this problem fixed and everything seems to be working.

My problem now is that when I go to take off my rear props seem to be spinning faster than my front props. The rear of the drone is lifting off the ground much faster than the front and this is making it very hard to control and is leading to lots of crashes. Is there any way to fix this?

thanks

Simon

Have you selected any flight modes ? If not then you really need to fly it keeping it straight yourself

what do you mean by flight modes? Where do I choose these?

It’s always recommended to read through the user manual to better understand it.
If you don’t know what is a “flight mode” you might have also skipped many important things as well HERE.

Can you recommend any flight modes for beginners? This is what my flight mode is currently.

First, you should remove the lower right boxes and save.
Then the first mode (if you calibrated your sensors) would be “HORIZON” and maybe “MAG” at the same time
