Hi,I've assembled my quadcopter, calibrated the ESCs, set prop direction, and when I tried to fly it one of the motors didn't work. Here's a video showing the behavior.…Continue

Emmpunkt replied to Palmer Eldritch's discussion Strange motor behavior"Looks like one Phase is missing.
Could be bad soldering at the plugs or at the motorconnection.
Try to pull at the cables (not to hard!!) and watch the shrink hose. If it stretches, then there is the fault.
An Ohm-Meter would be helpful
Dont try to…"
Geir Engebakken replied to Palmer Eldritch's discussion Strange motor behavior"I have had the same issue with stottering motor, and it stottered on 2 different ESCs so I examined the leads going into the motor and discovered that one lead was broken. Managed to open the motor and get the lead soldered back on, and it…"

ward replied to Palmer Eldritch's discussion Strange motor behavior"I am getting the same situation on my octo. Each time I calibrate my ESC's I get a different motor stalling out or running slow. I have tried the APM2 ESC calibration and the direct-to-receiver calibration. Both seem…"

Hi,I've assembled my quadcopter, calibrated the ESCs, set prop direction, and when I tried to fly it one of the motors didn't work. Here's a video showing the behavior.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdJJSsSg3SEThe battery is fully charged. I tried to connect the faulty motor to another ESC, but the result is the same.Any ideas on what might be wrong?ThanksSee More
