Rx problem, lights on but nobody’s home

[JohnnyNotech]

Yeah I’ve tried that, all the motors spin in the direction written on them & I’ve put some blades on & nothin doin, it’s still exactly the same. This is really starting to frustrate me, I just want to go flying!

can you post fresh screenshot of your Rx tab, now that you've made adjustments?

I tried calibrating with no joy.

here is the screenshot of the receiver tab after adjusting the values

Stick low threshold is too high

Awesome, what should it be & I’ll change it? Also, excuse the noobie question, but what does all that stuff on the right mean & do?

Bring it down to 1000 and up the higher value to 2000

No change.

Are you sure you have the proper version of betaflight loaded onto your fc?

Something not right there, in that video there is too much throttle change when you flick switches. IMO

I just tried to flash the fc & it keeps failing to connect to serial port & the light on the fc goes out. Why would that be happening, I must be doing something wrong

The first two are angle & horizon & then when the idle speed drops, that’s when it’s in acro. This is my first racer & I didn’t know that was not normal.

Go into your CLI screen and type BL then hit enter. It'll disconnect but now you'll notice that instead of whatever COM you see in the top-right corner (mine is COM 3) it'll show DFU. You're ready to flash

Ok cool, I’ll give it a go, cheers.

Says “unknown command”

 

[RENOV8R]

OK do the same but type DFU instead of BL (it can be different depending on what version of firmware you're on)

Just tried that & it didn’t work, I also just updated betaflight & still nothing.

Can you do a video of your Rx tab, with your DX6 in shot showing the bars moving whilst you’re moving the sticks on the DX6?

So let's update this: Your motors idle but won't respond to throttle inputs from your radio, however you can see the throttle channel bar moving in BF. Also, when you tilt the quad, the motors respond. Seems the only answer is that for some reason your ESCs aren't receiving any commands. #1 cause would be that your ESC signal wires are connected to your board incorrectly. I've had this exact same issue happen to me before and it drove me crazy for days. Turned out that I had the white signal wires from my ESCs connected to the ground row on my flight controller instead of the signal row

His esc's were receiving pitch and yaw commands

Try not to get discouraged @Squiggle, any one of 20 or so things not set properly and.... you know. We have all been through it. It all comes together and gets easier, just takes a while
