Hello everyone, I need help. I've been building a quad using the Arducopter manual and forums as a reference. I am no expert, but I do have some experience using ArduPilot Mega/IMU on several planes. I have also built and flown a Tricopter, so the QUAD seemed to be my next step. I'm hoping I have overlooked something simple.
Everything is hooked up as per the manual.
APM
OUT0-3 wires going to one of my ESCs
OUT1-1 signal wire to esc
OUT2-1 signal wire to esc
OUT3-1 signal wire to esc
IN0- 1 signal wire to AILE of rec
IN1- 1 signal wire to ELEV of rec
IN2- 1 signal wire to THRO of rec
IN3- 1 signal wire to RUDD of rec
IN4- 1 signal wire to AUX1 of rec
IN5- 1 signal wire to GEAR of rec
IN7- 2 power wires to BATT of rec
I have also tried the 2 power wires going with the THRO signal to THRO of rec
All of my ESCs were calibrated individually before hooking them up.
I can connect and upload the code just fine as well as connect and use the CLI.
Here are my problems:
1. I can not connect to the Configurator. (timeout has been changed)
2. When I connect to USB for CLI, The Rear motor spins up (+ config) then stops.
3. When I use the CLI to do the motor test, the LEFT and FRONT motor alternate back and forward without any TX input. If I do move my TX stick, nothing changes.
4. If I disconnect the USB and flip the switch for flight mode, all four motors spin up until I remove power and my receiver does not seem to power up.
I appreciate any assistance in helping me get these problems corrected.
Thanks
