"On Wiki is
- try THR_MIN set to maximim 150
- check if is no connection problem (ESC, motors), main is soldered
- motor problem, bended shaft etc.
- vibration problem
Any other suggestions?

Hello everybody,I am just moving from multiwii to ArduCopter. My quad is flying fine but, at some random moment, the motors just stop for about 0.5second and start again (so, it seems the board isn't…Continue

Is there no information provided on your questions in the Wiki manual?"

Augusto Sala replied to l.ploumen's discussion Motors stop"I just tried with 125 hz update frequency (just in case the 2 ms pulses of the fast motors would be too long for 400 hz update frequency) but obtained the same behaviour.
The same escs were running fine back in the days on Arducopter 2.0.55 and…"
Augusto Sala replied to l.ploumen's discussion Motors stop"Changing the update frequency from 490 to 400 Hz seems to have solved the problem. Now the new issue is that in my Y6 when I apply some yaw, the motors slow down enormously...
By checking the logs it seems that half of the motor slow down (the CCW…"
Augusto Sala replied to l.ploumen's discussion Motors stop"I'm facing a similar problem. My motors flickers every few seconds. They run normally then slow down for some milliseconds and back up. I have no clue... it could be ESC desynchronizing or something similar.
I gave a bit of throttle and held…"

l.ploumen replied to l.ploumen's discussion Motors stop"Hi,
Here's the log file with the problem. It happens in the end (I stopped flying as soon as I got the problem)."
Darren Stan Oakley replied to l.ploumen's discussion Motors stop"If it helps I had the same problem yesterday and it turned out to be a broken solder joint on a female bullet. The wire from the motors are so thin it doesn't take much for them to vibrate and brake."

- Middle size foldable from quadframe
- 4 RCTimer 30Amp ESC
- 12"x4.7" prop
- APM2.5 with 2.7.1 powered by output rail with an UBEC

I'm not quite sure where the problem is coming from. It can…"
Mike Boland replied to l.ploumen's discussion Motors stop"I am chasing this very problem at the moment with the 2.7.3 on an APM1, which I am assuming is a hardware fault I can't seem to find.
Very 'twitchy' motors, and randomly chopping the throttle for about .5 seconds. If you have enough…"

"Sounds like a wire from the radio is broken and intermittent. If you had a Flash log I could tell you more.
130 is 13% throttle.

Hello everybody,I am just moving from multiwii to ArduCopter. My quad is flying fine but, at some random moment, the motors just stop for about 0.5second and start again (so, it seems the board isn't reset).I am equiped with RC timer 30 amp ESC. They worked fine with multiwii. The board is powered by a UBEC. Any idea what to check to debug this problem ?I'm quite sure it isn't a ESC problem so I would like to power it using one ESC (although the UBEC was OK for multiwii board) but can I keep…See More
