Hi guys,

I finished my fresh build and my smokestopper is sometime shutting everything off randomly before the last beep of the FC, I have the 4 beeps of esc, 1 beep for FC and boom it shuts or sometime just doesnt and the drone looks working.

I know that motors can take more than smokestoppers like and that it can be normal and not a short.

I also tested continuity of my xt60 and got nothing

What shall I do ?

Yeah

#

I just turned on 2A mode

#

and it works

#

I think it's the reason...

#

No short just bad usage from me right ?

#

the ESC beeping the motors is actually vibrating them at a high frequency, that causes a surprising amount of current draw

#

so 2A is likely not enough

#

and it trips

#

it's fine

Yeah

#

It was set on 1A

#

with 2A it works all goo

#

I also tested motors with BF and it works

#
