Why my drone cant get off the ground?

[halcyon goblet]

.

Dont mind the backround 😂

[cosmic parcel]

Motor direction or props on wrong

[halcyon goblet]

Props is good but motors idk

[cosmic parcel]

Then check the motors

[halcyon goblet]

How to change motor direction?

[cosmic parcel]

Just swap any 2 of the 3 motor wires

[halcyon goblet]

Its a prebuild

[cosmic parcel]

And see if it matches the thing in betaflight

[cosmic parcel]

Then your props are on wrong

[wet pulsar]

@halcyon goblet get a photo of the drone and a screenshot of the motors tab

[halcyon goblet]

Wait

[cosmic parcel]

I think you have the props in a props out config but the drone spins them props in

So you literally have every prop on wrong lol

[halcyon goblet]

really?

[cosmic parcel]

Wich makes it look correct

I would try

[halcyon goblet]

so i need to change everything?

[cosmic parcel]

Because it really looks like that’s it

[wet pulsar]

get the screenshot, then we can move on

[halcyon goblet]

okay

[cosmic parcel]

Swap the props and get the screenshot yes

[cosmic parcel]

No he meant in betaflight

[halcyon goblet]

oh

wait

[cosmic parcel]

My bet is that if you uncheck the motor direction is reversed thing and swap every prop it will fly

[halcyon goblet]

okay ill try

[wet pulsar]

let's do it more methodically... take off the props and slowly spin up the motors with the slider. Check if they spin in the same direction as shown in the diagram

[halcyon goblet]

when my dad will be home

[halcyon goblet]

it did yesterday

[cosmic parcel]

Also FIY the motor direction is reversed switch doesn’t reverse the motors

[halcyon goblet]

okay

[cosmic parcel]

It just tells bf if the motors are reversed

[cosmic parcel]

This is a good idea

Vitroid is smarter than me so probably listen to him instead of me lol

[halcyon goblet]

can i do it whit props??

[cosmic parcel]

No

[halcyon goblet]

i hate taking them off

[cosmic parcel]

You will die if you do

[halcyon goblet]

nah

[cosmic parcel]

Ok no but seriously

Please take them of

[cosmic parcel]

Off*

[cosmic parcel]

Yup

[halcyon goblet]

😂

[cosmic parcel]

Take the fucking props off

[halcyon goblet]

okay ;//

should i?

[wet pulsar]

yes

[cosmic parcel]

YES

[halcyon goblet]

its pain in the ass

look

[wet pulsar]

I don't feel like helping until the props are off

how about that

[cosmic parcel]

I know but your fingers are worth more than 2 minutes

[halcyon goblet]

okay okay

[cosmic parcel]

Take

Them

Iff

[halcyon goblet]

ok ok

[cosmic parcel]

Off*

[halcyon goblet]

wait thenm

i cant take them off i dont have the correct screwdriver so ill wait for my dad

but can you help me whit one more problem?

[cosmic parcel]

Sure

[cosmic parcel]

What is it?

[halcyon goblet]

There should be a button on the beeper somewhere

Press it and it should stop

[halcyon goblet]

[native crater]

Get a BetaFPV Pavo 20 and add an O3.

[native crater]

If this is gonna be a gore thread

I have a submission

But not from drones

[icy ruin]

I don't understand why working with props on (at least on like 3.5" and up) isn't nearly as shamed as jokingly waving a gun around. They're both just as foolish especially on larger quads https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/toddler-blinded-by-out-of-control-drone/EUVPLFM6HXH6MSST3D3BJVSGRY/

I don't mean to shame OP specifically, but it seems that the prevalence of owning larger quads is skyrocketing while the safety factor is being left behind completely

[wary fulcrum]

Ouuuuuuch

[carmine iron]

Fuuuuuuuuck me. That is unforgivable. That wasn't an "accident" it was fucking stupidity and ego that half blinded that poor kid.

[dapper dock]

Been seeing a lot of YouTube videos pop up for me with $200 10" quad builds. Maybe others are seeing the same thing

[wary fulcrum]

I only ever do it on less than 75mm as they are a pain to get off and the danger is minimal.

But yea anything… anything open prop. They coming off

[icy ruin]

yep, and as far as I'm aware, eye transplants aren't a thing yet

[icy ruin]

Probably the sequel to those $100 5" builds you'd see in 2015ish. most likely they're just bare minimum cheap things that end up being common among beginners who have no business owning that size of a quad lol

[icy ruin]

yeah I could understand ducted/guarded things (incl. cinewhoops) being safer in that the main danger would be the edges of the prop striking something vital like an eye

[wary fulcrum]

Nah the actual main danger is that. And it death jumping into you after arming, so if it’s above a 2s or open prop no thanks

[icy ruin]

yeah, I think nobody realizes how quickly out of control an otherwise docile drone can become when the PID loop gets agitated in one way or another

a day at the shooting range can be perfectly calm but that doesn't mean that you can change (delete) a life in zero time

[winter portal]

Can we like get spoilers on photos like these 🤢

[naive ibex]

Whoopsy daisy

[cosmic parcel]

This might seem weird but now i’m curious

Tf did you do?

[native crater]

Removed most of the end of a finger on a woodworking power tool

[cosmic parcel]

Damn

[cosmic parcel]

That sounds painful

[native crater]

The thing with injuries like that is... they don't hurt right away. Your brain doesn't really register what happened and the immediate adrenaline dump keeps you going. I honestly didn't feel much more than a dull ache until well after they stitched me up--like what you'd feel if you bonk your finger with a hammer. The lanacane injection into my hand so they could stitch me up felt like someone plunged a white hot knife into my finger though. -100000/10 would not recommend

[sacred glade]

ive had similar happen cutting my finger on glass at a junkyard. It really wasn't that large of a cut but it was pretty deep. I had no problem bandaging it there but I nearly passed out when my dad was redoing it at home.

i agree with the props off thing, my whoop I don't care so much about but 5" props are coming off no exceptions. my toothpick ehhh props are coming off if im touching esc firmware. or maybe i toss a shirt over it.

only 5" motor injury i have had was from a plane with a pwm rx and bad failsafe settings. leaned over it, tx failsafed from being too close, motor spun up in my hand.

[wary fulcrum]

I had almost exactly the same thing happen to me with a Swiss Army knife, I opened the scissors funny and ran the nice new sharp point down my thumb. It was kinda deep but I was fine, didn’t feel faint or anything

Change the bandage like 2 days later and had to lay on the sofa for 15 minutes 😂

[sacred glade]

Its so strange how that can happen lol

[cosmic parcel]

had the same while sawing wood once. Didn't actually saw in my finger though.
Basically, it was a fine saw and rough/course saw that you could switch out onto the same handle. Because it was really floppy though i didn't like the handle, and used it without the handle. Turns out the top of the saw was really sharp, so i had a deep cut in my finger. Took a while for it to register.

also i fainted

because of that

kinda weird because i had never fainted befor

e

and usually i can handle injury and blood/gore pretty well

[native crater]

The vasovagal reflex is a real bitch

[cosmic parcel]

who in their right minds sharpen the top part of the saw though

like that part

the non teethy side

watch out when using cheap saws ig

[wary fulcrum]

Probably not sharpened, sheet metal just is sharp af

[crisp bridge]

Should I take off props whenever I plug in the battery and it’s on my table

Or only when do motor stuff

[cosmic parcel]

Ideally yes but if you keep your distance a bit not neccerily

Just don’t put your face above it

[icy ruin]

Should you unload your rifle before cleaning/working on it?

Only toothpick/tinywhoop and below are safe to work with props on. Anything else is asking to be injured

[icy ruin]

And even if youthink you're not working on motors, misunderstandings and mistakes are a very real thing

[sacred glade]

if the battery is plugged in, the escs are powered

[cosmic parcel]

This is incredibly active thread for what it is

[sacred glade]

i didnt even realize it was a thread wtf

[icy ruin]

this is simply an annexed channel

[crisp bridge]

Noted

[wary fulcrum]

No no no no ALWAYS

[wary fulcrum]

ALWAYS, if there’s a lipo plugged in there should be no props on, unless you intend on flying

[crisp bridge]

okay!

i shouldnt need to anymore

[sacred glade]

Im guilty of doing it in betaflight for vtx work but you really shouldn't. If its esc configurator work absolutely not ever.

Beta flight has extensive protections against arming with usb, but its not perfect and esc work will bypass it anyway

[icy ruin]

I mean, there's a whole popup when you try to spool up the motors in betaflight but evidently some people just ignore that regardless
