Hi, all..Here's the situation before i tried to calibrate:2 (out of 4) of my ESC constantly beeps after boot, like around 1 beep/second (or slightly slower). But then i just thought it just needs to…Continue

Victor Iliescu replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Setting up ArduCopter 3DR Quad without Remote Controller"Very VERY silly to try this. So many times ive flicked into loiter and it goes crazy off course for a few seconds. You'll kill someone if not yourself!"
James Y. replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Setting up ArduCopter 3DR Quad without Remote Controller"Yep, that Tx is only $23 (!!!!) and it includes a Rx. They're a good deal for the money.
Keep in mind that depending on your country, it may actually be illegal to fly a RC aircraft without it being under you direct control. Direct control…"
Derek Ernewein replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Setting up ArduCopter 3DR Quad without Remote Controller"It is a cool idea in concept to have it only controlled by the PC, but its not safe. At least get a very cheap, non-computerized 6 channel like this:

Dusty Starbucks replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Arducopter won't take off"I had the same basic problem, but mine was a misfiring of the power distribution board to the ESCs. Once I fixed it, I took off nicely. No tuning has been done other than trimming it out on the radio. I don't think your expectations are that…"
Haikal Pribadi replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Arducopter won't take off"thanks for the input guys..
I manage to fly it last week (then took a break from it for a while)
So Graham, I completely get what your saying now. So when you say "... if it hasn't been tuned", how can we tune it?"
ModeratorGraham Dyer replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Arducopter won't take off
"I think your expectations of how your quad will fly may be a little high, it generally has to be controlled most of the time especially if it hasn't been tuned, even then expect drifting when hovering and constant throttle changes to maintain…"
David Leigh replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion Arducopter won't take off"I had a similar problem last week. I found that I had one motor down on power and replaced it. But I found in previous experiences a slow increase in throttle at the start of flight is does not do as good a take off as a more…"
Haikal Pribadi posted a discussionArducopter won't take off
Hi, allI've been trying to fly my arducopter for the first time. But it just won't take off straight up vertically.The way i'm doing it, is i'm slowly pushing the throttle and expecting to see it slowly hovering. and expecting to see it stabilize itself. Instead, the copter drags lifts itself diagonally and drags itself to the wall. Does anybody know what might be the problem? Am I doing the take-off correctly by pushing the throttle slowly, instead of full throttle in one shot?edit:oh, i…See More

"Well done. Sometimes small things like that get looked so it's good to double check everything. Hopefully someone else will benefit from your experience."
Haikal Pribadi replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion ESC won't calibrate and constantly beeps"WHOOOOHOOOOO!!!
problem solved..
It was such a simple matter that overlooked. The 3-plug (white-red-black) connecting the ESC to the PDB had to be flipped, or was accidentally flipped (doesn't matter). The solution is: the 3-plug…"

"Which frame (and PowerDistributionBoard) are you using? Can you post clear photos of both sides of the PDB"
Haikal Pribadi replied to Haikal Pribadi's discussion ESC won't calibrate and constantly beeps"Hi, Don...
I've done the exact testing as you told me to, and all the motors works fine. So i guess we have came to your conclusion that the power board is the source of problem. What do you suggest i should do now.. Thank you so much for…"
