Title: Drone Not Working....Please Help!!!!
Post by: DivyamGoel2005 on October 19, 2020, 09:44:16 AM
Hey everyone,
I am making a beginners drone using f450 drone frame, kk2.1.5 micro-controller, ct6b transmitter and receiver, 1000 kv brushless motors and 30c ESC's.

I have done the programming of kk2.1.5 using various videos on YouTube, but no one is working. Whenever I fly the drone it flies at 10-15 cm for 1 second and then dances and loses control and crashes(every time). I have tried changing everything from frame and motors to esc's and micro controller, but nothing is working. I hope anyone of your great community can help me resolve this problem.

Thankyou

Motor directions are clockwise for the 1st and the 3rd motor( opposite ) and anti-clockwise for 2nd and 4th motors (opposite ).
There is CV propeller on 1st and 3rd motor and CVV propeller on 2nd and 4th motor.

Check if the flight controller's orientation is correct.

Hello DivyamGoel2005,

The video you have shared shows the propeller, at rear right side (on white arm) is spinning in wrong direction. I mean the propeller is CCW and motor is spinning in CW direction. Please check carefully the motor and propeller combinations.

Please check and thanks for your help

Do we have to put propeller with CW to motor with CW and propeller with CWW to motor with CWW???????

When you setup the KK board, there is a page where the motor layout is given. You have to set the motor rotations accordingly. The rotor are spinning correctly in the last video you have posted. Just double check the layout as per the KK board. Calibrate the ESC, and calibrate the accelerometer.

Also make sure you've done ESC Calibration.

Can you please tell me how to check flight controller's orientation?

there should be an arrow on the flight controller,make sure it is pointing towards the front of the Quadcopter

I have double checked the motor layout....And ESC calibration.
Can you please tell me how to check accelerometer settings?

KK boards are most forgiving boards, how you mounted your FC on the frame? You can use 3M double side tape to mount your FC exactly in the center of your frame. If possible use two layers of tape. Then put your quad on flat leveled surface and calibrate accelerometer. Correct motor direction with correct prop on it and correct channel assign to your tx is primary requirements.

I think there is also layout to choose (x , plus  etc) inside kk software based on how your motor placement is.
I remember I had this very same issue, when I built my first quad using kk.


Title: Re: Drone Not Working....Please Help!!!!
Post by: DivyamGoel2005 on October 20, 2020, 09:15:01 AM
So which layout you think we should choose?

So which layout you think we should choose?
Since mine was x layout, I did choose that.

Does it matter if we use 1000kv motors with 30C Esc's ??

check the motor specs if max amp draw with attached prop is less than 30A then there will be no issue

Post by: DivyamGoel2005 on October 23, 2020, 02:52:44 PM
I did everything.....but the same problem is arising. I noticed the flying of drone carefully. Whenever the drone flies, the speed of the motors changes which leads it to roll and crash. Can you please tell me a solution for that. I have replaced all the 30C ESC's Thrice.
Please help🥺🥺🥺

I think you have to unplug everything and put them back again step by step by creating check list and ensuring it's done correctly.

1. mount FC properly, facing front arrow between two red arms.
2. Select Quad and X configuration in FC setup and motor direction as per on screen display.
3. Calibrate ESCs.
4. Setup radio, map channels AIL, EL, TH, RUD correctly to the receiver and to FC also check channel if channels need to reversed in FS CT6B software.
5. Plug ESC signal wire as per correct configuration.
6. For first few flights fly in Self level mode.

same problem is acquired in my drone. after that I understand some hints.
hints:
1. First I connect the ESC wires in KK board is in my wish not in Order :banghead:. connect the esc wires in order as per diagram.

2. I thought CW and CCW props are mounting on motor in upward direction (1045), But it is in Downward direction. Before mounting propeller please note down which rotation it rotates gives downward Thrust.

3. First I don't know what is the purpose of Self-Level settings :banghead:. my first flight is ended with crash. turn on the self level settings in you FC. then only it gives stabilization of your quad. stabilization is less than the other FC's which has GPS.

4. check the pointing nose of FC. fix it with the perfect direction in your quad as per your motor configuration.

This video very helpful for me.

I hope this will help you!!!
