My copter does not respond to yaw input correctly, and while it does rotate it also drops an arm while its doing so.All of my props are correctly placed and setup, my engines are functioning, the…Continue

Fixed my pdb problem and everything, all the motors arm and run all right at the exception of motor 1.Motor 1 seems too be at least 20% slower than the other 3.I have re calibrated manually and…Continue

So, after finishing my new pdb I realized that it was not my only problem.Even after countless calibrations, manual, automatic, regardless, motors one and two do not respond, while 3 and 4 function…Continue

Sakar Mortalatis replied to Sakar Mortalatis's discussion Yaw problem"Ok so it looks like I've got even bigger problems at this point.
After takeoff I switched to auto mode to have the copter fly my simple 3 point waypoint course.
After reaching the first waypoint the copter seemed to reduce the throttle…"
DeveloperR_Lefebvre replied to Sakar Mortalatis's discussion Yaw problem
"Off the top of my head, you might have an arm/motor which is not straight, causing a yaw thrust.
Or, what is your Thr_Min parameter? I wonder if while you are trying to yaw, that your motors actually stop, so the arm drops until the…"

My copter does not respond to yaw input correctly, and while it does rotate it also drops an arm while its doing so.All of my props are correctly placed and setup, my engines are functioning, the copter is stable.Any ideas as to why this might be happening?Thanks.See More
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Andy Theimer's discussion 3DR Quad First Tethered Flight - Flies right + forward w/o radio input."Well things seem to be functioning fine now, I re uploaded the firmware ,reset level, and tuned my PIDS.
The copter pulls slightly forward but only a tiny bit and I trimmed it out easily.
Yaw is no longer a problem really though the…"
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Andy Theimer's discussion 3DR Quad First Tethered Flight - Flies right + forward w/o radio input."Well I just got back and I must say overall this was not an enjoyable experience.
Firstly the copter seems very unstable, and skitters all over the place.
This seems to get worse with time too, though really I blame my PID's which are…"
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Andy Theimer's discussion 3DR Quad First Tethered Flight - Flies right + forward w/o radio input."Alright, Ill post the results in video form when one of my 5kmah lipos are done charging."
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Andy Theimer's discussion 3DR Quad First Tethered Flight - Flies right + forward w/o radio input."well I trimmed to 100% and I still have lean, what the hell."
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Andy Theimer's discussion 3DR Quad First Tethered Flight - Flies right + forward w/o radio input."Hey as I'm having a very similar problem what exactly did you do to fix this issue?"
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Sakar Mortalatis's discussion Really......"I can confirm that the APM is realizing the quad is not stabilized, though it doesn't look like its making any effort to correct itself.
at 0-40% throttle the quad drops motor one by 15 - 30 degrees
at 41-60%…"
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Sakar Mortalatis's discussion Really......"I can also confirm that this is not the issue sadly"
Dave replied to Sakar Mortalatis's discussion Really......"On some motors, the shaft sticks out the bottom by a mm or so. Check that it's not binding on the motor mount.

"The real moral to this issue is not use knock-off Deans connectors. They are sold all over the internet. I have never had a defective "real" Deans power connector.
Just a thought.

TCIII"
Sakar Mortalatis replied to Sakar Mortalatis's discussion Goddamnit."The fucking deans.
Turns out the deans plugs where somehow broken so that they had perfect connectivity at the ends, but absolutely nothing on the actual terminal pieces for motor connectivity.
