SiLabs drivers for Quadrino Firmware Configuration Tool

Help & Support Apps & Software

Hey,

I installed both FCT and the SIlabs drivers (silabs.com/products/mcu/Pag … px#windows) yet I’m getting the message that the driver are missing.
Any idea what might be the issue?

Thanks
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Are you able to look at you Windows Device Manger to see if the drivers are installed ? (picture attached)

Let us know,

Thank you Eric - we managed to connect it!
Now we have another issue - we cannot arm the drone.
In WinGUI it looks like that the the RC is working properly, I think that our main issues is the the Min Command, Min Throttle, and Max Command.
We calibrate the ESCs (ESC turnigy plush 30a).Any idea what should be the value?

Thanks,
Daniel

Daniel,

Can you explain how you test the Arming exactly ?
To Arm the board you need to have the Acc calibration done and be on a level surface, each R/C channels need to be extend to about 120% in the transmitter and this is most of the time called “End Points”. The sequence is Throttle down and Yaw right.

  • Don’t setup a Arm mode with Aux as it will disable the stick Arming
  • Default FCT setting will load the board with a Not-Spinning motor at Arming

Thank Eric!

We tested arm as follow:
We calibrated Acc and we put the quadcopter on a level surface and we used the sequence “Throttle down and Yaw right”. The status led (yellow) didn’t turn on (which is, in my understanding 'ARM"), and clearly, no-sniping motors.

We are using the transmitter “HK-T4A V2” and receiver “HK T6A V2”.
A question of real beginners:
How do we extend the R/C channels (120%, “End Points”)?

Thanks,
Avishai & Daniel

That’s probably your problem, the end points are mandatory when using a MultiWii flight controller. This transmitter cannot be programmed so not compatible.

Each RC signal need to show 1000 to 2000 in WinGUI.

OK, thanks Eric.
OK, we will probably buy a new transmitter (we have a better understanding what we should buy and what we shouldn’t).
We are thinking of buying a WiFi receiver (it is good usually up to 300-350 feet.
Thanks!

We bought a new transmitter (Spektrum DX6) - reading time:) need to be config and we need to learn how to program the channels…

for the DX6 you will have to use the “Travel Adjust” setting in the manual on P.28.
Increase the value for both direction on each channels until you see values move from 1000 to 2000 in WinGUI.

Thank you!

No problem, we hope that help.
