Is my Flip 32 broken?
#1
Hey All,

I've run into a very strange problem.  I'm guessing my FC might be damaged.

I was doing some acrobatics and flew the copter towards the ground, it wasn't too bad of a crash.  After this it stopped flying properly.  I always have this problem of the quad wanting to roll towards motor 2 (roll right, pitch forward)  

At first, one would think that it's an esc or motor problem.  I went ahead and swapped out the motor and esc from a different arm only to find out that it's doing the same thing.

I went ahead and reflashed the latest version of blheli, betaflight and recalibrated all esc.  Did another test and still doing the same thing.

At this point I'm now very confused since none of this makes any sense, so I did another test of just plugging in the fc via usb to cleanflight and spun up the motors (with props on)  I carefully spun up the motors and it seems to be lifting up properly.  I also used my tx while the usb was plugged in and it seems to be spinning up properly.  

After power cycling without the usb connected, the same problem occurs.  I should also mention that whenever I throttle up with my TX, it seems to be throttling up by a lot. Does anyone have any solution for this?  Everything else seems to be working properly.

Here's my settings:

Any footage??
By the way you are posting you settings from the wrong source... Should just type dump in CLI, and copy the output there

I can take some footage but I actually narrowed it down to something very specific. But It really doesn't explain much. When I try to take off in acro mode, the quad will start to drift towards motor 2, I can correct it but over time it will continue to fall towards motor 2. I'm guessing the gyro broke?

This is my most recent discovery:

I switched the signal pins for motor 2 & 3, ran a test and this time around it starts to drift towards motor 3. This lead me to believe that motor2 header pins on the fc might be faulty.

Then I plugged motor 2 signal to fc header pin 5 (motor 3 signal is put back to fc header pin 3) and used custom mixer to set it up. Same problem still happens, quad drifts towards motor2 using fc header pin 5

I also tried stick calibration on acc and gyro, doesn't help.

If I plug in the board and load it up in cleanflight, power up with lipo, unplug cleanflight then it will fly properly. Basically every time I want to fly, I HAVE to plug the quad on to cleanflight.
