@John - The most common issues regarding a copter to “flip” are:
- The motor rotation is wrong
- The propeller type is wrong (cw or ccw)
- The motor connector pinout is wrong (ESC wiring to the Quadrino)
Eric,
I again completely dissembled the drone, checked the motor wiring and rotation, checked the propeller type and the wiring of the ESC to Quadrino. I may have had a problem between the green and brown wires… On re-assembly, it flew for the first time, albeit drifting forward. Still lots to tweak, but at least we’re flying now! Thanks for all of your help and advice. John
Hi John,
That was probably it, it fail dramatically when this happen.
The Quadrino Nano will base itself on the Accelerometer (ACC) calibration to stay level. If the table surface was not level when you calibrated the sensor, it will drift. Try to do it on a perfectly level surface with the UAV level as well.
If you cannot achieve it, you can “Trim” the ACC by following the procedure shown under “Trim” HERE.
