Motor Vibration + Unable to launch copter

Posted by Nicolas-Michael El Jamal on February 15, 2015 at 10:21am

Hey Guys!

I am building my own quad-copter. I was able to calibrate everything and finished building it. Unfortunately, you can see in the video attached that one motor stopped and the others did a lot of vibrations.

Also, we witnessed vibration of the motors even before the shutdown of one of the motors.

Can anyone tell me why those vibrations are happening? Is it a calibration error, propellers, motor, pixhawk? Power?

Thank you!

What material are your booms made out of? In the video it looks like the booms are oscillating. This could just be a distortion in the video, but it may also be that they aren't stiff enough.

Also what ESC are you using?
