I have had a never ending list of hurdles on my first quad build. I probably should have bought my armattan straight from the manufacturer and been flying already. But, I am here, and I have learned a TON, but still need some help to get in the air.
I had big troubles with BOTH of my XRacer F303s connecting to the ESCs (Aikon 30a BLHeli-S). I couldn't do the motor test (spin up) when plugged into a storage battery and following all steps. I ordered a different FC, the Motolab Cyclone and soldered it up. Instantly the new FC let me spin the motors up in the Motors tab of BetaFlight. I think I am set. I go to BLHeli to reverse two of the motors but then BLHeli pumps out the error message (attached). I have restarted the computer, leaving Chrome and BetaFlight closed, tried both of my USBs and no fix. One thing to note, I am using Wine on my Mac to run BLHeli and I am not sure if this could be a problem.
And, I cannot reverse two of the motor wires since they are too short to swap over.
