I have an issue with 3.1 and MOT_SPIN_ARMED.
I'm seeing 1 or 2 motors turn off a few seconds after arming and the motors are idling.
If i throttle up those motors don't spin at all but the other ones all spin up so of course if i try to take off that would be a big problem !
If i apply throttle quickly after arming then they all spin up and keep going no problem but if i let the motors idle again using there's a 50/50 chance 1 or two motors will again stop and only way to start them again is to disarm then arm again. This seems to reset the problem.
Now i have disabled MOT_SPIN_ARMED and after i arm and throttle up all is good so there's definitely a gremlin with this.
Anyone else see this ?
Hex with 30A Multistar esc's.
3 Cell 5000mAH LiPo
APM2.6 from 3DR
APM Power module
MOT_SPIN_ARMED was set to 130. For me using 3 cell LiPo and 700KV motors means i needed 130 to get the motors to spin at all.
THR_MIN is 100.
thanks

Hi my friends
I'm beginner to APM and I have a problem with MOT_SPIN_ARMED.
How can I spin my motors when APM is arm? default value of MOT_SPIN_ARMED is 70 and it's not spinning!!
What is the relation between MOT_SPIN_ARMED and THR_MIN?
Please help me.
thanks everyone
Hey Harald thanks.
Hard to imagine we are the only ones with this issue.
Did you enable then disable MOT_SPIN_ARMED ?
Exactly when did you see this issue and how did you overcome ?
Once again if i disable the MOT_SPIN_ARMED i have no problem.
Randy help ;)
Hello
unfortunately, I can't really help, but confirm this issue.
However I am not really sure if this is related to MOT_SPIN_ARMED.
I am using Multistar 20A Opto ESCs and often notice that some of the motors don't start spinning if I raise the throttle slowly. They do spin if I reduce throttle and raise more quickly and I get a stable flight afterwards.
Edit: I am using the the original firmware - no SimonK.
Kind regards
Harald
