After buying an Hubsan X4 H107L, used H107D off ebay then stressing over a build list for weeks. I finally pulled a trigger and purchased a ZMR250 kit and take the build one step at a time.
I picked up the Dragonfly32 pro for $22 during the black Friday sale. It shipped incredibly fast from Multirotor Mania and I immediately recognized that my Naze32 certainly malfunctioned.... its already beyond the point of return and soldered so i can't RMA back to fpvmodel.com.
Its likely I kept the iron on longer that i should have... who know's? Maybe it was a manufacturing fault. Also, immediately connect your FC to a computer and confirm its functionality.
If you want the best bang for your buck try the Quanum V2 headset at HobbyKing.
I have a few problems. The gyro sensors don't appear to work on my naze32 afroflight rev6 in cleanflight or baseflight. Flight controller movement isn't detected at all. I used the "unbricking" tutorials and re-flashed the firmware and restore defaults. Rebooting also seems to be an issue in CLI and Putty. I have to unplug the usb and reconnect to get back into cleanflight to continue with the configuration settings.
Another issue I'm having is with motor #3. The motor can engage in low Rpms in cleanflight but it won't spin when I'm applying 50% throttle though my Taranis. I've also tilted the quad toward and away from the motor and still no luck. The other motors appear to have no issues.
I believe my issues is with my flight controller and not the ESC because of my gyro issue. I' don't think I can return it since I've already soldered the pins so I've ordered another naze32.
I found threads with similar issues but they were all remedied by either the fc firmware, cold solder joints or ESC calibration.
Assembly wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
Any thoughts?
I have a Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6-Amp LiPo/NiMH Charger. I'm assuming i can use it to charge the Lumenier lipo's if I purchase a "XT60 male and 4.0 Banana Male Cable".. right?
This build is nearly complete. I’m just waiting on a few screws and also need to decide where to mount the minimosd.
I ended up ditching the Naze(wish it worked), DYS sn20a ESC's, FRSky X8R(too bulky - maybe i'll build a larger multi), the Sony effio FPV cam and the ZMR 250v2 PDB. The PDB shorted an ESC and even my VTX. I swear the polarity was correct and my VTX accepts a wide voltage range. Thankfully the VTX still worked but the power cable melted. I ended up direct soldering cables to the VTX until I can find a replacement cable.
