okay....I'll give you the rundown... so....i have a quad that was flying BEAUTIFULLY. like absolutely perfect. One day i had a charger die so i ordered a new one and the quad sat for about a week while i waited for a new charger, GPS casing, new…
"Well i hope others can learn from my problem, I for one hate having random problems noone has had and not being able to find any answers. Hopefully someone in the future will have this same problem, and have a good laugh while reading up on how to…"
"Lol your the man. Things keep getting redundant, so i am just going to wait patiently at this point for the replacement Hawk to come in haha. Please continue this thread though *Grabs Popcorn*"
"damn yall.....2swift.....can someone be frustrated? who was bitching.I love the pixhawk, i was just very confused about the issue.....and Emin...........who are you? And more importantly....who is J.Smith... and whats with all the…"
"The batteries seem healthy to me...and i thought it was a lipo issue at first because i accidentally left one charged over 24 hours (which I thought the rule of thumb was no more than 10 days) but then ordered 2 brandy new shiny ones and same issue.…"
"there is no voltage across that RCout. and by RCout i assue you mean the main out section?"
"So that rail shouldn't have 5v across the whole?...."
"At this point I don't think it's a programming error...Some power test prove some funy shtuff is going on within the pixhawk RC rails. "

"The ohm rating increases steadily, could it be the capacitor in the ESC?"
"If i touch the hot wire from battery terminal to the ground, there is a bit of continuity too....does that say anything?"
"all grounds make good contact
Tested the ground rails on pixhawk and receiver as well"
Tested the ground rails on pixhawk and receiver as well"
"So just doing some continuity tests, if i touch the ground terminal to the signal wire on the ESC, there is a small bit of continuity. Is this normal?"
"I'll post the results in a few hours"
"Already been Done. Still only stops when one motor is disconnected. But the thing used to fly flawlessly. I'm not sure what changed....thats why i'm stumped"
"I have to keep the props on. This only happens when props are attached. If i disconnect one motor (Any), the issue doesn't happen. Already sliced my hand open xD"
