What's a beginner do with his Flysky transmitter?? 

congrats!

only one problem /when arm the quad the motors run as soon as i move any stick on the tx it starts to accelerate gradually to full throttle and i have to disarm it/any ideas,regards john

I dislike motors keep spinning do u ?

same problem did you get it resolved in the end?

TheFPVnoobtube no prob just recently got the x220 my self as first quad some awesome fun to be had keep up the good work

Buster. Lol. Find yourself homie. Don't be someone else.

cant learn to fly without a few crashes

Not sure what video your commenting on, (studio doesn't show) but it's got to be a really old one. Sorry whatever it was that didn't work out for you.

What’s a beginner to do with flysky fs i6 transmitter, I wanted to see flight mode and it was in sport and tried to put in in normal mode. I tried to restore to factory on drone and reset transmitter as well.

Unfortunately the FS-i6 requires all switches up and throttle fully down to start. That means your throttle is armed as soon as you switch on. Each to their own but I'd prefer the throttle to be disarmed at start-up and throw a switch (or 2) to arm the throttle.

Alright. I have solved the problem on my own. When the flight controller is connected to the computer via the USB port, we power it the same way when it's not connected, namely, by applying 5V voltage to the power pins of the ESC connector. The receiver in turn gets powered via the power lines of the iBus connector. I figured, it had to be this way, because I could not see any other one. So, even though I still had a slight fear of burning up the equipment by connecting it simultaneously to two different power supplies (the computer and the battery), I took a chance and, oh miracle, the control indicators in Betaflight started responding to transmitter control inputs. However, while the quad representation in Betaflight configurator responds to the x-mitter controls, the actual motors don't. They just jerk twice when connecting the power and then remain still and don't react to any of the controls. Also, with the ESC connectors connected to the FC, when connecting the battery, the PDB issues a different beep code, than when they are disconnected. Sounds like three short ones (the same as when no ESC connected) and then two long ones. And when the throttle is all the way down, the red light on the flight controller goes off, but when the throttle is moved up it starts blinking. And after sitting powered up for about 4 minutes, the PDB starts beeping - sound like one long beep and two short ones. What could be the problem this time?

TheFPVnoobtube man thank u I'll do this when home. thumbs up

Adam Mennella Art I'm having the same problem. Did you ever get it figured out?

im having the same problem as well anyone know how to fix?

I figured it out. Go into the System menu, then RX Setup, then PPM Output and turn it on. Save it and try it in beta flight again. You should also gain all controls to your quad.

Adam Mennella Art plug the reciecer in on the other side of the spf3 controller board

Mustache Man 21 so I'm guessing you would recommend ibus over PPM? Idk whats better help a noob out lol currently I'm using ibus from what I've read this is supposed to be faster communication to the rx?

The 220 HV is going to be a more modern solution for you. None of these as without problems. But you're shooting yourself in the foot by using old hardware. One of my buddies has the 220 HV and even runs for us on it. The trick to that is to put the right props on it. With 4S, you're going to want to use a very aggressive prop, like a 5152 or something of that nature. but, then you also have the option of running 6s at which point you can prop accordingly.

@@FPVnoobtubeChannel thank you very much. I have since decided to build up my own 👍 for a few reasons

it seems like a scary thing to do for somebody who's new to this, but you're going to learn a lot of things that you're going to continually use in this hobby. If you need anything reach out to any of us!

@@FPVnoobtubeChannel thank you. My old man is into electronics. I've bee exposed to that and soldering my whole life. Background in rc cars and mechanically inclined. I do have a lot to learn. Retired from motocross and need a new hobby. All of you guys have bee very helpful. I appreciate all of the help 👍👉 I'm so pumped on this whole thing deal 👍👍

Well then...welcome to the addiction ;) find us on Facebook if you need help. There are lots of ppl willing, in our group.

No problem! After you bind the RX and tx you need to "arm" your quad. This can be done by holding the throttle stick down and right for a couple seconds. OR you should follow these instructions very carefully and set it up on a switch. Also if you're quad sits for too long it will twitch it's completely natural, please DO NOT let it sit plugged in for that long though. They can over heat

i really appreciate it. yeh i didnt know if stock radio shows rate 100 and expo 0? mine even though i have the arm switch top left like you did, when i switch it and look at radios dual rate it shows normal then sport and theres different values lol so unarmed it had different rates and expo and then armed shows sport and is 100/0 all channels

flysky just like the one in your video. if you go to functions and then dual rate/exp. it shows your channels rate and expo mine since the arm switch is swa switch if toggled i show normal and when switched for arm on swa it shows sport

nope i havent just got switch for disarm motors swa and then swc ive got setup for flight modes like u did. still trying to figure out all this stuff

lee man the motors without proppeler spin all the timer faster And faster. Its all good

Icky we want you back homie!

same issue

Rest everything and start fresh with and start with this video I just set mine up

Hmm, shouldn't have anything to do with that ESC. Sounds like either your reciever wire could be a little loose. Or possibly your transmitter is accidentally on the wrong channel. Have you made sure it's o the right channel and tried rebinding it?

Ethan hunter you need to install the driver for conection its on the help page in betaflight as links to web sites with the uptodate drivers

+The Noob-Tube alright im ganna give it another try right now and see what happens

Nothing wrong with flying in Angle mode or Horizon Mode till you are use to the controls. Especially when LoS. I started out the same Flying level till got use to how the drone reacts. then practised doing my flips and roll in horizon mode all LoS. Through Fpv I only fly acro as you stated flying acro LoS is nearly impossible at the moment. As Fore AirMode as Kris mentioned... isn't a mode like acro or Horizon or Ang;e/Self Level. Airmode is the option that allows to keep the motors spinning and gyros active when you throttle down all the way, Giving you the control to keep the quad stable in the air while doing your rolls and flips. People Say start off in acro and learn that way, and that might work for them but everyone is different. I do belive its best to get off Self level and Horizon as soon as possible but only do it when you feel ready and comfortable to do it.

I am new to quads myself and used a sim to get the hang of flying every chance I had and I think that has helped alot making crashing cheaper

take it from someone whos been there. Fly around in your sim and get use to the control build your muscle memory. even if your flying in level mode. Once you understand how the quad operates and your comfortable with. switch the sim over to acro mode and fly around like that. I told my friend the same thing that i'm about to tell you now, and this has saved himself alot of $$ and has made him a better pilot. But this is a challenge. Once you start flying in acro in your simulator Time your self.... If you can fly around in acro mode performing just the basic tricks such as flips and roll, and fly for 5 ~ 6 mins straight WITH OUT CRASHING!! Then you should be good enough to fly a drone out in the real world in a safe manner. Keep in mind that a simulator is just a game and the mechanical physics don't quite compare to real life. A simulator is just there to help you build Muscle memory that's it. Flying a real drone will feel a lot different as each quad handles and behaves in its own way. Just takes time to get use to the feel of your machine and know whats its capable of doing.

Sorry didn't mean to Rain in on the parade and throw in a novel of what to do. lol

Sadly there isnt a Betaflight app yet. There is an app Called Ez-Gui that will allow you to connect your Quad to an I-Pad or tablet. that will allow you to adjust your pids and rates. as well as have some other cool features you can play with. You will have to buy an OTG cable. cables that converts usb to micro usb other wise your ipad wont reconize anything being hooked up.

Thanks

Does Betaflight open? If your board isn't connecting, make sure you have all the drivers installed for the flight control. You can click on the links in the left menu in Betaflight to install them. If that doesn't work, try a different USB cable. I have found some cables don't work.

Faisal J check the windows system if you see it by the com ports!

Don't hate...
