Hello all currently attempting to configure my metero 75 pro through betaflight , I am brand new to fpv and really could do with some help , before my drone arrived I was using ai to aid in writing my settings and then when I go to input through betaflight I have ran into a number of problems if someone could literally mentor me through this basically answering all my questions and helping me that would be great 👍

Ask away and various people will respond here as we're available

#

Also joshua bardwell on YouTube is good for beta flight

cedar lantern
#

Okay thank you to start I have watched so many videos and was really confident going into this but now IAM COOKED!

lost umbra
#

Lmfao

#

Theres a learning curve

#

Youll be really confused for a few months and then suddenly youll be an expert

cedar lantern
#

So i was running through deepseek settings and creating everything so i could basically bind the drone inout settings then fly but rn ive binded my controller to the drone it works my headset idek and the settings i have no clue how to work

#

Uhhhh im not at my pc rn and ill be in and out so I'm probably not the best person to troubleshoot with you right now, but i would start with binding the reciever

#

The communication between the receiver and controller is step one, then you need your bf settings to talk to the receiver

cedar lantern
#

Yh so i used a binding phrase for both the rc and drone and there both work together

lost umbra
#

Ah ok

#

In bf your ports tab is important

cedar lantern
#

So on beta flight it picks up everything okay

lost umbra
#

Oh ok

#

In the receiver tab?

#

It works?

cedar lantern

#

Well we can ignore it if its already set up

#

Do you have betaflight open?

#

Bf is betaflight

cedar lantern
#

Yh rn i just regularly close and unplug my drone as its getting hot and i dont want to damage it before ive even flown

lost umbra
#

Ok, plug it in and go to the receiver tab

#

There, the channels respond to your controller?

cedar lantern
#

Yes

lost umbra
#

Ok, have you got anything in the modes tab?

#

Youll need to set an arm mode if its not in there already

lost umbra
cedar lantern
#

So yes i have got stuff in modes but not what i wanted ! I have already set an arm switch and its auto done both an angle and horizon along with a beeper and turtle mode

#

No acro 🥲

lost umbra
#

Oh

cedar lantern
#

And in my settings when typing in the cli i tried doing a switch to adjust power for inside and outside flight

#

But that didnt work either

lost umbra
#

So first of all, you havent mentioned it but ill say air mode is not a flight mode, its totally different from angle and horizon and acro.

#

Second

#

Acro mode is default

#

Theres no switch or mode

#

It will be enabled if horizon and angle are disabled

cedar lantern

#

If theres no mode at all for them itll just be acro

cyan meteor
#

you should also just unbind horizon mode, there is no reason to ever use it

cedar lantern
#

Okay good done that

#

Just got arm , beeper and turtle

cyan meteor
#

you should have angle mode tho

cedar lantern
lost umbra
#

Thats good enough to fly with. You can add the vtx power switch but its kinda confusing so definitely follow a video.

cedar lantern

#

My arm is actually a 3pos with angle in the middle

cedar lantern
#

I see

cyan meteor
cedar lantern
#

I see

#

So if your bad ?

#

🤓nah id win

lost umbra
#

Yes but no. If youre bad you should just practice acro lmao

cedar lantern
#

So watch a video for the switch

#

All of my other settings seem to have worked i think

#

Idk tho tbh

cyan meteor
#

also just to make sure your arm switch is on aux 1 in the high position (2000)

lost umbra

#

Is it a toggle button?

cedar lantern
#

@lost umbra so just watch the video and follow that?

lost umbra

lost umbra
cedar lantern
#

🤔

#

I see

lost umbra
#

Does it stay clicked in?

cedar lantern
#

Yh

#

Then unclick

lost umbra
#

Yeah i wouldn't use that imo

#

But itll function

cedar lantern
#

I see

#

Okay i see

#

And so watch the video then follow ofc

lost umbra
#

Yeah

cedar lantern
#

Also when i was about to test it

lost umbra
cedar lantern
#

Armed the drone all good it began spinning before throttle was touched i see sometimes armed drones dont have properler spin is that a setting i sound fix ?

lost umbra
#

So heres the problem

cedar lantern
lost umbra
#

If you go upside down to do a flip

cedar lantern
#

Yh

lost umbra
#

And you lower the throttle to zero

cedar lantern
#

Yh

lost umbra
#

The propellers stop

cedar lantern
#

Nah

lost umbra
#

Youll be in a totally uncontrolled freefall

cedar lantern
#

I see

lost umbra
#

You need to keep the propellers and the control pid loop running

cedar lantern
#

So you want to have them continued going

#

I see

lost umbra
#

So as soon as you arm, its gonna go

#

Yeah

cedar lantern
#

👍

#

Okay that makesense

#

Another thing was the goggles on race channel one

#

How tf do i do that

lost umbra
#

What goggles

cedar lantern
#

Because i tried connecting and it was just black not even static

lost umbra
#

Check the Manual i guess

cedar lantern
cyan meteor
#

should just be a button labelled channel to cycle through

lost umbra
#

I have no idea off the top of my head

#

Lol

#

Long press for band maybe

cedar lantern
#

Even when the drone was given some throttle

cyan meteor
#

i would either pick race 1 or race 8 depending if there is interference from wifi or not

#

race 8 gets you above wifi

lost umbra
#

Was the drone on the right channel?

cedar lantern
#

And then it decided to do its own thing and the drone literally went to max throttle even though my throttle was at the lowest on my controller

lost umbra
#

I use r8

cedar lantern
lost umbra
#

What channel is the drone on

cedar lantern
cedar lantern
#

I think its 1

#

So i should change it to 8 then

cyan meteor
#

do you get a grey screen with osd but no video or just nothing?

lost umbra
cedar lantern
#

No connection static , when it got to channel one / 2 it went like black

cedar lantern
#

So its on raceband , channel 8

#

So its working but its wrong

#

💀

#

My goggles connect to channel 6 not 8

cyan meteor
#

so the drone is on raceband 8 but the goggles get signal on raceband 6?

cedar lantern
#

Yeah

#

And now my damm arming isnt working
