Hi everybody.
Yesterday I've started to build my first quad-copter. after soldering everything I've plugged up the battery behind a smoke-stopper and everything was fine except that the quad just make 3 bee-bup instead of the normal 5. At first i didn't even noticed it thinking that every PCB has his own sound.
When i connected the quad to BF i wasn't able to spin the motors and here commence the drama.
I've searched everywhere on the quad and on the internet, checked the circuit but nothing, i see no damage or burning nor on the FC nor on the ESC.
Well, considering that this one is my first build I've haven't the finest soldering but i can consider myself pretty satisfied, probably some expert eye consider it a shitty work.
After hours scratching my head I've remembered that when i first plug-in the battery I've forgotten to switch the 8-pin connector from the FC and the ESC. I've connected the TLM (esc) with the GND (fc) and the GND (esc) with the R4 (fc).
May I have fried something doing that? The smoke-stopper never opened the circuit.
Actually the FC works when connected to the USB, i was even able to update the firmware. And the esc power up when i connect the battery doing the 3 bee-bup. I've tried all the possible protocols on BF but still nothing.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong and for sure there is something, I'm getting crazy about that.
FC: CLRACINGF7 MPU V2.2
ESC:Tekko32 F4 Metal 4in1 ESC (65A)
P.S. I'm sorry, English isn't my main language, so I'm doing my best to write something that it's understandable by the most, I'll hope I've reached my purpose.
Thanks
