First post - looking for help
#1
Noob here...

I have an eachine Wizard x220s that I recently wired up a FrSky XSR receiver to the Omnibus F4 on the first set of holes. I was able to get my Taranis X9D to bind with the receiver, but I cannot get any receiver response in betaflight. 

Not sure what i'm doing wrong?

X9D is set to Mode: D16, Channel 1-16, does the External RF Mode need to be set to SBUS?

Thanks for any & all help Smile

No, external doesn't not apply. You should just be using the internal module.

Please post photos or a diagram on how you wired. And a dump file.

I wired the white, black & red wires from the FrSky XSR to the 'J7' holes on the flight controller. White went to the PPM/SBUS hole, Red went to 5v, and black went to the ground hole. Dump file attached. Thanks for your help! This will be my first flight after practicing in Velocidrone for a few weeks now Big Grin Looking forward to it! I can get some pics a bit later tonight if you need.
I'm having some issues upgrading the firmware, working on that now.

Updated firmware. New dump is attached.

I would update the firmware first.

Try these CLI commands after your update.

serial 0 0 115200 57600 0 115200
serial 2 0 115200 57600 0 115200
serial 5 64 115200 57600 0 115200
save

That worked! Thank you! After I updated to TAER1234.

Very good. Happy flying.

Basically, SBUS is on UART 6 and not UART 1 for this FC.

Noted! Thank you.

Now i’m experiencing insta-flip on take off..

Pretty sure the flight board/accelerometer was calibrated. Guessing there’s a step I missed somewhere?

It almost looks like two of the motors aren’t spinning when I try to throttle up. I did do a motor throttle up in betaflight (without props), but I guess I didn’t really pay close attention to which way the bell housings were turning.

These are the most likely reasons a quad flip.

FC orientation, 3D model in BF correctly corresponding to real-life movement
Motors direction
Motors mapping, the correct signal to the correct motor
Props mounting direction.
All radio trims are centered
Make sure your are not in turtle mode. Especially you mentioned only two motors spinning.

Ok, so took the FC orientation is correct. Responds just as it should. 

Motors 1, 2 & 3 are spinning correctly. When I try to spin up motor 4 I get nothing.

I think I was originally in 'acro trainer mode' which I have since removed. I'm assuming that when the mode switch is not on angle or horizon, it is automatically in acro?

I'm plugged into a 4S 'GOLDEDT' LiPo. Tried swapping it out. Still nothing on the 4th motor.

I guess I got what I paid for with the Wizard? lol.

Swap motor 4 with a working motor. You want to rule out whether it is a bad motor or esc/FC signal.

Gotcha. Question - can I just stick a multimeter probe into the wires leading to the motor to see if the ESC is feeding the motor with  power/signal before I desolder a motor? 

Thanks!

I don't think you DMM will be fast enough to register the changes. You will need an oscilloscope.
