Hey yall, I just got my mobula 8 and I cant seem to get it bound to by radio master boxer radio. When I enter bind mode, the radio automatically end the binding process like they are bound, but betaflight dosent seem to detect any of my radio inputs. This is my first drone so I am struggling to figure it all out.

Still having trouble? Have you updated your boxer or mob8 at all since you got them?

I am 🤣 this time with a different problem.
I got the drone to connect. Got it to read on beta flight. But now when I arm the drone. I can only describe this as the drone throttling, doing a kickflip, then dropping.
Throttle on betaflight when stick is down shows 980 which I think might be my problem. No clue how to fix that though.

does it get off the ground or flip immediately? have a video by chance?

Here's a video, probably a lot better then my explanation.

lets check prop direction first
I think they are on correctly but can you take a closer pic to make sure

do you have betaflight configurator on your comp?
manic spire
I do
signal bay
plug in batt -> connect to bf -> motors tab
I would take props off for anything without whoops/ducts, and its still probably a good idea if you want to be extra safe, but as long as you exercise caution you should be ok to keep them on for this
also a fan blowing air over the copter is a good idea as well
Once on the Motors tab there are two buttons below the graphic of your copter showing the motor direction and their corresponding number. Start with the motor number wizard first, and then do the motor direction wizard second. Use the corner of a piece of paper/plastic to verify the motor are spinning the correct direction.
and be very careful, a 2" isnt that big but it can still do some damage

I'm sorry for the late response. Had to speedrun a quiz real quick. Working on getting the props off now.

So I wrote down the directions of four of the motors, the order seems fine but the direction are messed messed, I dont think just motor direction will fix anything

your board orientation is probably wrong
go to where you can see your quads angle
move it foward, left, right and make sure it directly corelates to the real movement of your quad, front being the front
manic spire
yep, yeah its backwards.. oh dear
severe carbon
thats fine
all you need to do is in the config tab, spin it 180 deg
should be a drop down called board orientation or something similar
manic spire
This bit here?
severe carbon
yeah
change it to cw180 see if it works
works as is the movement corelates dont arm
manic spire
it kinda does? Turning right and left are now correct
but pitch has turned into roll
and roll has turned into pitch
severe carbon
ok from thinking about it in my head it seems like its off by 90 degrees now but its confusing lol
manic spire
yeah I am just like.. This is supposed to be a bnf? lmao
severe carbon
did you flash the flight controller when you got it?
manic spire
yes, with the happymodel file that is for this drone so that I could bind the drone on elrs v3.0, which was also an entire headache
severe carbon
it should be fine, just choose the right board allignment so that the movement of the drone in real life is the same as on the screen
manic spire

ooook so new problem lmao
severe carbon
what’s up
severe carbon
go to the motors tab and make sure "motor direction reversed" is on
manic spire
go to the motors tab and make sure "motor direction reversed" is on
now it just does the same thing before I even add throttle too it
severe carbon
okay go to the motors tab and hit reorder motors
go through that wizard
then also check again that your motor direction for each motor is correct, use the motor direction button, but choose individually instead of wizard
manic spire

alrighty, the drone, is seemingly flying now!
I will ask though, anyway to tune the power back a notch or two. Just so I dont smash this thing first flight while learning.
severe carbon
are you flying in angle mode?
manic spire
id hope to start with acro, ive been practicing on a sim for the past month or two while I waited for it to come in
severe carbon
good good, its better to go straight into acro
pid tuning > Rateprofile Settings > Throttle limit set to scale and throttle limit to what you want

Glad you got it working! Love this video btw 😆
