I will explain my issue to the best as I can, please ask me any questions if you need more info.

Basicly, this whole issue started on my first flight where every time I pushed the power past 50%, the drone would spin out and fall out the sky. I have done lots to try and combat this but nothing has workd.

Im using the xilo phreakstyle JB budle for this (its my first 5") for anybody wondering, aswell as a 4s battery.

The issue has evoloved into now whenever I test the motos (no props, flat table) they just go crazy. Motor 3 is almost always the lowest f the 4, but all the motos just go crazy. It happens quite often that during these tests even after I bring the stick back down to 0% power, some of them keep going higher and higher and higher.

Below I will have some videos and blackbox files that some of you may find of use.

Also please ping me if you respond otherwise its unlikley that I will see it quickly.
Thanks so much!

Keep in mind that when I power the motors uring betaflight itself, I run into 0 issues.

mid throttle oscillation typically esc PWM frequency is too low, I will glance at the blackbox soon

#

@old zephyr yeah test what happens with By-RPM setting (whether the firmware is AM32)

your esc is a xilo stax V3 yes?
●plug in FC to computer with a data usb cable and head over to https://am32.ca
●power up the esc with a lipo
●set default match YOUR motor kv and PWM type click ```fix
-save-

●disconnect everything
●hover test

one at a time

old zephyr
#

ah alright

old zephyr
lunar geode
#

very good, go out and fly
one hover without disarms blackbox log will be helpful

old zephyr
#

its quite dark out current. Would a test on the table work well enough?

lunar geode
#

understood

lunar geode
old zephyr
#

alright ill do a table top test, and send you blackbox data from a flight tmrw

#

went crazy on the table, no clue why

#

at this point im thinking it could be a faults esc or fc or something. I've done so much with no result!

lunar geode
#

went crazy on the table (rising motors at idle throttle)
I-term windup without propellers is normal

also could be a diffrent issue but its wierd. I often have to plug and unplug the battery a few times to be able to arm the drone. The reciver and everything connects but it just wont arm.

Right before this I balanced the accelerometer and everything

old zephyr
#

here is the blackbox file from most recent flight in my yard.

#

it basicly flew up and spun in random direnctions the seccond i armed it (even on 0% power). only way to get it out of the sky was de-arming it, i had 0 control

#

pretty sure we diagnosed this as a bad gyro/fc before?

Any recommendations for what new fc / esc I should get?
