ESC Disconnected - King Kong ET115
#16
Relinked all switches but when I attempt to arm, I get two beeps and the quad won't arm. In Betaflight, under the motors tab, I can increase the motors and they do all spin. I just can't get them to spin using the Taranis.

Update: I don't have Motor Stop on but I just attempted to throttle up and the motors did spin. For some reason, the motors aren't spinning when I arm the quad.

That is weird. Did you change anything else since you last posted your dump? Try switching the esc protocol to Dshot600.

Not sure what the ESC Protocols are so I left it at the default after reset which is Oneshot125. I found out that the minimum throttle value was too low for the motors so I raised that and it now arms as normal. Going to do a test flight this afternoon.

The only other difference I'm noticing is that I don't see a "flip after crash" switch that I can set anymore. I don't know where that went but it's not in the modes tab as it was before.

You have to run Dshot to get flip over mode available.

If an ESC supports DSHOT then there is no good reason not to use it (IMO). You also save yourself any headaches by not having to perform any manual calibration on the motors.

The ESC on the King Kong ET115 supports up to DSHOT600, so why not use it? The only reason the MATEK411 Betaflight target comes pre-configured with MULTISHOT by default is because the original Matek developed 411 flight controller from back in the day (before the DSHOT protocol even existed) used the MULTISHOT protocol, and every man and his dog just cloned Matek's design and made use of their target firmware.

I just put the quad in DSHOT600 and set a switch to turtle mode, but the quad doesn't seem to flip. Maybe there's something else I have to do as well, I haven't looked into turtle mode that much.


UPDATE- watched a Joshua Bardwell tutorial and got it working. Looks like I got this all figured out and the drone is up and running. Still not sure exactly what I did to cause this mess lol. Huge thanks to everyone for the support and help!
