Works indoors, Beeps outdoors

Posted by Ruwan on January 3, 2012 at 2:12pm

Hi,

I'm trying to get my maiden flight going!.. I performed a hand test inside my house (74°F, 23°C). I took the quad outside (26°F, -3°C). When I power on the quad, it started beeping similar to when ESCs were not calibrated.

Now after coming back inside, still it beeps like in outside :(

UPDATE: it works fine inside, after everything warmed up. Is this something to do with low temperature problem with 3DR ESCs?

any help highly appreciated.

thanks,


Ruwan.

    I had the same problem, as described here.

    You should try to recalibrate manually your ESC at the outside low temperature...

    It sounds like you are missing ground between apm board and esc (signal)

    I had a similar thing this weekend. It sorted itself out after I recalibrated the radio. Something about the throttle did not have enough movement in it to make the ESCs happy. Oddly, it had been on 3 or 4 flights before hand. After packing up and heading home, it was a simple task to fix.
