Hi, I was trying to calibrate my ESCs for my Quadrino Nano, but they didn’t end up calibrating (no beeps). Here are all the components: Flight Controller - Quadrino Nano Power Distribution Board - Lynxmotion PDB Radio & Transmitter - Turnigy 9X and it’s 8 channel receiver (wo…

Hi, Thanks for your reply! Yes, we took the PWM signal wire from that ESC and moved it to a different port on the power board, while leaving the ESC’s black and red wires in the same ports. Then we armed the copter and pushed up the throttle and it began spinning without a probl…

Ok - It could be an issue of signal then. It seems that One port do not arm / turn the ESC …?

Yup, that’s exactly what’s happening. Here’s a short video portraying what is wrong. The ESC is powered, and when I plug the signal wire into port 5 (which is one of the working ports), it powers on just fine. But then when I move the signal wire into port 8 (which is the on…

Let’s verify some things first: Have you loaded a profile which use the Motor8 output ? Otherwise it will not output anything. In the WinGUI, when arming, do you see all motor outputs set to the “Min Command” ? This should confirm you that MultiWii is actually sending a signal …

Hi, I’m pretty sure I have a proper configuration loaded. Here is a copy of my configuration folder in the AppData/Local/Quadrino Tools/Profiles folder: Hummingbird.zip (1.2 MB) I’m pretty sure that MultiWii is sending the proper signal. Here is a screenshot of MultiWii when i…

That’s perfect, it does clarify a lot of possibilities. One thing i am unsure is the calibration of the ESC’s in an Octo configuration. After some investigations here, the ESC calibration using MultiWii only seems to work on Motor 2/3/5/6. We found the issue in the calibration…

Hi, I just tried MultiWii calibration using that new file, and something different does happen, but still, that eighth motor isn’t spinning. When the flight controller is powered and the battery is plugged in at the same time, it makes the normal three quick startup beeps, but t…

The “calibration” side should be good now. Regarding the motor that’s not spinning, i would increase the “Min Command” value in the FCT slightly and test.

Hi, I changed the “Min Command” value in FCT from 1000 to 1010, the ESC powered on just fine, but still, only 7 of the 8 motors were spinning. I then tried increasing it again to 1050. Then I plugged in the battery and the ESC’s made the normal 3 quick beeps, but then only made…

After all that i can see two potential issues: Connections between the Quadrino Nano and the PDB is not good. (either the cable or connectors) Quadrino Nano has something bad happened to it’s output and it’s broken. Can you test out the Quadrino Nano with the supplied wiring h…

Just curious if the problem got solved ?
