Edit Reason: build ) Hey everyone, I experience some death roll or flip when going full pitch/roll. First my quad (edited): • frame: 210mm nox5 • motor : r2205 emax red bottom 2300kv • ESC ltb 20A • Battery Tattu 4s 75c 1300mah • RX FrSky X8R and I use sbus. It is directly connected to the fc • PDB Core 2.3 • ImmersionRC Raceband 200mw vtx • Kingkong 5040 x 3 (and sometimes 5045 x 3) I join some Black Box Files. I hope it helps. this is the first time I try to use BlackBox. It seems that a motor go at 100% and stay there until the crash. Sometimes it's another motor. EDIT: I also add a video from the dvr where you can see the problem. I had some similar issues previously and it was the motor. I detected it by going from 0 to full power in the motor tabs on each motor. This time it appears to be something else. Also, I know this quad is not tuned yet. Any help on that based on your read of the bb files would be very appreciated Thank you for taking the time to help me.

For example, when does the unusual behavior begin, is it on liftoff, or after you're already in the air and start to apply inputs? is it always the same roll or flip or is it some sort of combo of the two carl.vegas Current Quads: Operational: Diatone GT2 200 In need of repair: Bumble Bee, tehStein, Slightly modified Vortex 250 • Posts: 1,149 Threads: 50 Likes Received: 704 in 450 posts Likes Given: 1,189 Joined: Sep 2016 Reputation: 30 First thing to try is: increase min_throttle. If in the logs a motor is commanded to 100%, this means the motor didn't produce enough thrust to begin with and the FC commands it higher and higher in order to make up for the lack of power delivered. • Posts: 947 Threads: 66 Likes Received: 350 in 248 posts Likes Given: 164 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 34 Since all the motors lock the signal at 25%, 25%, 25% and 100%, this has probably something to do with the FC. I have the same problem with my Xracer V3.1 with BF 3.1.7 and 8K looptime. Another guy I know had the same problem and by lowering the looptime to 4K the problem went away. What FC, firmware and looptime are you running? it looks like some FCs have this problem if the looptime is set too high in BetaFlight 3.1.7 • Posts: 947 Threads: 66 Likes Received: 350 in 248 posts Likes Given: 164 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 34 I just realised you are running 8K gyro update and 2K PID loop.

I can punch the throttle and do aggresive turns without any issues. It is when I attempt to do a simple roll or flip that the problem occur. I updated my first post with a video link. @fftunes My min throttle was at 1020. This was the highest valid value of the four motor. I increased it to 1070 and it does not fix my problem. @oyvinla: My FC is a demonrc Soul F4 ( http://demonrc.eu/product/demon-soul-f4-...ontroller/) The firmware is Betaflight 3.1.7. I will look into this Posts: 164 Threads: 36 Likes Received: 83 in 46 posts Likes Given: 124 Joined: May 2017 Reputation: 4 I think Oyvinla is right. Lower your gyro update. I have had the same thing happen when I had mine at 8k.

Don't see why any other cap with the same rating (4700uf 10v) wouldn't do the job? Please note these are suggestive questions not 'help!'

I know at least my problem quad is noisier than my other builds as it is a 4in1 esc with a capacitor on the battery pads • Posts: 18 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 2 in 2 posts Likes Given: 4 Joined: Jul 2017 Reputation: 0 07-Jul-2017, 09:27 AM (This post was last modified: 07-Jul-2017, 09:30 AM by Tox!cFPV.

EDIT: i'd rather look for a brownout or interference issues Hey KonradS, Thank you for your response. Here is the FC schema for reference My rx is a FrSky X8R and I use sbus. It is directly connected to the fc from com3 I have nothing connected to com2 (so nothing on 5vout) Also I use a PDB from Demonrc: the Core 2.3. I use to power on the FC 5v and the VTX 12v (ImmersionRC Raceband ) The camera is powered from the vtx. I don't have anything else on the quad • Posts: 18 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 2 in 2 posts Likes Given: 4 Joined: Jul 2017 Reputation: 0 (06-Jul-2017, 11:01 PM)oyvinla Wrote: I just realised you are running 8K gyro update and 2K PID loop.

Scroll down to "System Configuration" and you will see "Gyro Update Frequency" and "PID Loop Frequency". • Posts: 1,070 Threads: 70 Likes Received: 742 in 378 posts Likes Given: 577 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 44 (07-Jul-2017, 09:27 AM)Tox!cFPV Wrote: Hey KonradS, Thank you for your response.
