Hello, I have just finished building a quadcopter and set it up using Betaflight. For some reason, I still need to use Betaflight every time I want to fly. Without Betaflight, I can arm the drone but it will disarm after 10 seconds. Only if I enter the ‘CLI’ tab and then return to ‘Setup’ in Betaflight will it stay armed when the quad is disconnected from Betaflight. What am I doing wrong? Thanks very much.

Please run both the "status" and the "dump" commands in the CLI and copy/paste the results back here.

Also, what flight controller is it?

Here's what showed up when I typed in "status":

I am using a Team Black Sheep (TBS) Powercube, but the flight controller is the Colibri Race.

Do you have any other accessories that is hooked up to the Blacksheep Telemetry (BST) communication protocol. Like GPS, receiver etc.

The only thing that is connected to my TBS Powercube is an FrSky sbus receiver, however I have not attached a telemetry device to the receiver.

There isn't much written in the BST disarm flag. It seems the solution is updating the BF firmware. Do you have TBS FPvision? Some say that not setting up the core OSD can cause a problem.

Yes, I do have the TBS PowerCube V2 FPvision. And I do not have the core OSD. How do I update the Betaflight firmware?

This is interesting. Another member on here with the same stack has been getting random disarms during flight. I wonder if there is a possible common root cause emerging here.

@MSIOU - hopefully you are following this thread.

Hi Newbie Pilot,

Were you every able to solve your problem? I am having the exact same problem and can't figure out what is causing it.

Thanks!
Ryan

Same stack?

(21-Feb-2021, 03:59 AM)bLoWsMokE Wrote: Same stack?

Yes, exact same stack (I believe). TBS Powercube FC (Colibri Race) with all the ESC and whatnot underneath.

f3 chips doesnt work with bf4,0 and above, bf3,5 should work.
