wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:12 AM

#

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:12 AM

#

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:15 AM

#

sending

#

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:17 AM

#

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:18 AM

#

Yea

#

Idk why

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:19 AM

#

and did you click disconnect in betaflight?

#

before this

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:20 AM

#

No

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:20 AM

#

do that first

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:20 AM

#

Ohh there

#

Got it

#

So now what

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:21 AM

#

read setup bottom right corner

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:21 AM

#

Alr

#

I got my controller off

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

Stupid thing

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

for all of the ESCs on the right side, change the motor direction to the opposite of what is set now

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:23 AM

#

Now it won’t let me go back into the thing

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

the thing?

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:24 AM

#

Back into where I can control the motors

#

It just won’t let me go back into that menu when I click connect

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

well you have to make your changes, click write setup, and then it should disconnect or go back to that

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

It says port already in use by another application

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

that would be betaflight

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:25 AM

#

I don’t have beta flight even on

#

Now it won’t let me go into beta flight

#

Ima restart my pc rq

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:27 AM

#

did you disconnect from the ESC configurator first?

#

before connecting to betaflight?

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:27 AM

#

Wait

#

I’ll tell u when I go to connect what happens

#

Ohh yea

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:27 AM

#

multiple tabs of the ESC configurator would also probably not work

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:28 AM

#

Dude what is happening

#

It’s not working man

#

@honest thicket

#

It’s not letting me go into betaflight anymore

#

Idk what to do at this point

#

I can even connect to betaflight

#

@honest thicket

#

U still here man

#

?

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

oh yeah sorry @wet bane

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

Alr

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

still not working?

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

Yea

#

It just won’t connect

#

Dumb thing

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

try closing betaflight, disconnecting drone from everything

#

closing esc configurator

#

and reopening everything

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:41 AM

#

I am turning on my pc up again

#

Alr

#

Alr it worked

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

nice

#

so try connecting to esc configurator again

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

It says turn off radio but last time I did that my esc crashed out

#

I’m in esc

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

you can / should turn off the radio yeah

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:45 AM

#

wet bane I’m in esc

try again to connect, then click on "read setup" in the bottom right corner

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:45 AM

#

Ok

#

Now what I’m in read setup

#

All the buttons are grey

#

Ok I’m in here

#

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:47 AM

#

why did only 2 ESCs show up?

#

are there all 4 now?

#

because that's a bit weird

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:49 AM

#

What pwm should I choose

#

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:49 AM

#

hold on you don't need to flash firmware

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:50 AM

#

Wait ok

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:50 AM

#

to reverse the direction you can just change the direction using the dropdown and then click "write setup" in the bottom right

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:51 AM

#

Like this?

#

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:51 AM

#

yeah

#

weird that only two showed up though

#

you can try the things it says down there which are turning off radio and clicking read setup again

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:52 AM

#

U sure?

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:52 AM

#

yes

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:52 AM

#

Do I disconnect and go through it again

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:52 AM

#

you don't have to disconnect

#

just turn off radio if it is on and click read setup

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:53 AM

#

It says it’s getting failed reading

#

Only 1 this time

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:55 AM

#

do you have the battery plugged into the quad?

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:55 AM

#

It just keeps getting failed readings idk what’s the problem with this thing

#

Yes

#

Now there’s no esc

#

It’s trying to read 4 and they are all failing

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:57 AM

#

strange

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:58 AM

#

Ima try disconnecting

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 5:58 AM

#

is your battery good on charge still?

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 5:58 AM

#

I’m wondering does the yeast

#

Zdag

#

Thing do anything

#

Zadig

#

I rewrote a while back someof the bulk to winding

#

Winusb”

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:00 AM

#

I wouldn't think this is a USB issue

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:00 AM

#

Ok

#

What u think it is

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:01 AM

#

well the fact that you saw two escs then one then none kind of sounds like there isn't enough power getting to the escs

#

which is why I asked about the battery

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:01 AM

#

Lemme change it tour

#

Out

#

It’s reading them

#

Right now

#

It’s reading the first one well

#

Failed reading esc2

#

I have my goggles on?

#

Would that be a problem?

#

@honest thicket

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:04 AM

#

no that's not a problem

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:05 AM

#

Now nothings working 😡

#

So idk what to do at this point

#

I’m tired

#

Can we do this tommorow?

#

Idk at this point should I just buy a new drone?

#

Cause idk the problem

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:07 AM

#

wet bane Idk at this point should I just buy a new drone?

worst case just swap the props it's not all over 😆

#

but yeah it is pretty late

#

when you work on this again now you know what you have to do

#

which is reverse the motor directions

#

(or swap the props)

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

Cause idk how to even take the props off

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

you'll figure it out

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

These stupid things have such a tight grip on the motor

#

I looked at videos

#

I don’t have the tools

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:09 AM

#

the tools make it a lot easier but you can take them off by hand

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:09 AM

#

Any videos u recommend

#

Cause I didn’t see any

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:10 AM

#

I've never seen a video about this but I just searched for "how to take off tiny whoop props" and there seem to be a lot

#

a lot with tweezers

#

but like I said you can try with your hands first

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:11 AM

#

Should I just pop em all of off and swap them

#

Cause idk how I’m gonna know if I have them the opposite way

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:12 AM

#

just swap them left / right

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:12 AM

#

I just flip them upside down and pop them back on?

honest thicket Mar 20, 2025, 6:13 AM

#

#

not upside down

wet bane Mar 20, 2025, 6:15 AM

#

Wait how I put them on then

#

Just flip them over?
