Motors running same direction |
15-May-2017, 04:28 AM I just put a new FC board in my Furibee F90 wasp but the motors are running same direction any idea's? Thanks Jim If those are brushed, maybe you just plugged in the power wires the wrong way, or did you buy all cw or all ccw? PS: Brushed motors don't like running the wrong direction... While it might work, they won't last as long. 16-May-2017, 12:04 AM Most brushed motors have different colors for CW/CCW so if the wires are the same on all 4, then you have 4 with the same rotation 16-May-2017, 03:56 AM The Furibee is a small quad and the FC runs all 4 motors they only have 2 wires going to each motor so you can't flip the wire's around . I'm new to all this but maybe I need to reflash the Flight Contoller not sure any help is appreciated . Thanks I fear reflashing won't change anything. If the motor wires have a connector that you can't plug in "wrong" (i.e. switch polarity) then you probably bought 4 motors of the same direction (all clockwise or all counter-clockwise) ...

Thanks 31-Dec-2017, 06:51 AM You might be able to de-solder the offending motor connectors from the board and mount them the other way round, I'm pretty sure they are glued as well as soldered though, so it will be a PITA. The other option is to direct solder the motors to the back of the board. Otherwise it's return to seller, I'm afraid. Windless fields and smokeless builds 31-Dec-2017, 01:14 PM A brushed motor is a DC device. The direction it rotates is ONLY determined by the polarity of the input power to the motor. It CANNOT be changed in software! If a brushed motor spins in the wrong direction, the only way you can correct this is by swapping the wires to the motor. 31-Dec-2017, 02:48 PM So two motors are spinning in the correct direction and two are not. On the two that are not, clip, flip and solder the wires and you should be good to go. SoCal Kaity :D OMG, no one told me it would be this much fun!

Does it support beta or clean flight Plug it in and check that the flight controller in set to quad copter mode setting is in configuration tab in beta flight make sure it is set to quad x and save might be a software problem before you go cutting wires 03-Jan-2018, 01:31 PM (02-Jan-2018, 05:45 PM)Droning Martyn Wrote: might be a software problem before you go cutting wires A software problem cannot change the polarity of the power going to the motor. The only thing wrong here is that the motor connectors on the new flight controller are not wired the same way as they were on the previous flight controller. Seeing as the motors are connected with plugs, it's a simple matter of gently extracting each pin from the plug housing and re-inserting them in the correct order for the motor to spin in the desired direction. This isn't rocket science and several knowledgeable and respected members have already explained what the OP needs to do to fix the problem. 03-Jan-2018, 06:02 PM (This post was last modified: 03-Jan-2018, 06:43 PM by Droning Martyn.) I bow to your knowledge with greatest respect sir Although??? 03-Jan-2018, 10:22 PM |
