The damn thing got stuck in a reboot cycle after putting it back to a 500 looptime (changed it during the troubleshooting). Now it won't connect to the configurator. It powers up, LEDs light up, the port it's on shows up and connects. Plug the other V2 in and it's just fine. So I've tryed to reflash but won't connect to bootloader on first click but will on second click and flashes. How ever it still won't connect to configurator. I've now swapped back to the other V2 and the quad is back and ready to tune when the rain goes away. Funny thing, now that it's out I can flash it on the first try every time... but still won't connect to configurator.
Update:
HA! the stories not over. This other V2 I've put back in as now reminded me of another issue I originally had but never mentioned. when I plug in the USB it acts like a battery has been plugged in. Low voltage alarm goes off. I've set it to 1 so I don't have to hear it. The voltage scaling is at default 110 which was correct for the other V2. Without the battery it's reading 1.5V and with it'll read anywhere from 1.5 to 10V. When unplugging it'll shoot up to as high as 10V then settle back down to 1.5V. Looks I'm going to have to set this up just like my V1 with a voltage divider straight into the Frsky smart port.
Another update:
Arg! BLHeli passthrough still won't read set up with this board. No error just comes back with the list of ESC and --- next to them. In Betaflight motor tab calibrating doesn't get past the initial plug in battery faze. Lowering master slider does nothing. Actually motor tab sliders won't control the motors at all.
Good news is that I've yet to lose my buzzer pads with all the soldering and desoldering. (insert thumbs up emoji)
Last update:
After walking away for a few hours I remembered that when I had forgotten to reconnect the 5V feeding the FC BLHeli worked. This time isn't nay different. Motors tab calibrated ESC fine and BLHeli read setup. Turned vbat back on and it works too.
I love your detail update hehe
sounds like you need to start a blog... LOL
actually would you be interested to start a blog? I can create a blog site for you maybe a few other active individuals in our group / forum...
something like blog.intofpv.com/Trollhammered/
what do you think hehe
