fervent plover im new to to this and i dont know anything on how to and why to and i just want ...

what receiver do you have in the drone?

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:19 PM

#

its a meteor65 i believe

#

the model

#

i dont know what the reciever is

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:19 PM

#

you bought it, no?

#

do you not know what version you bought?

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

i bought it used

#

from a guy

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

okay

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

just want to start this u know

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

does this "guy" happen to know what receiver it may have?

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

asking him right now

#

i know about betaflight and how to connect my drone to it

#

can i know somehow from there?

#

or maybe i can look on the drone to see what it is

#

?

#

the guy said frsky

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:26 PM

#

fervent plover the guy said frsky

okay

#

set the radio protocol to FrSkyX D8

#

then in Betafight Configurator set the receiver to SPI FrSky_D

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:27 PM

#

do i set to internal rf or external?

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:27 PM

#

internal

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:29 PM

#

ok did that

#

now what?

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:44 PM

#

sorry had some stuff to attend to

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:45 PM

#

no problem

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:45 PM

#

now that you have both sides set up correctly, it should bind

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:45 PM

#

and how do i do that?

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:46 PM

#

there should be a bind button in the receiver tab in Betaflight Configurator

#

and the radio should have a bind option a bit below where you set the protocol

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:46 PM

#

do i need my battery connected?

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:46 PM

#

most likely yes

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

i dont see a bind button in the receiver tab

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

can you get a screenshot?

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

yes

#

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

okay

#

there should then be a physical bind button on the AIO board in the drone

#

if you get a pic of it we can probably find it quicker

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

there is like a yellow one

#

golden

#

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

any higher in resolution?

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

fervent plover

okay yeah should be it

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

well the green light is flashing and a purple at different intervals the button doesnt react to being pressed

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

unplug USB and the battery, hold down that button, and plug in USB

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

oh

#

will do

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

actually maybe not USB, try with only the battery first

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

and then what

#

now only the red is on and the purple is flashing

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

no blue light

#

i tried pressing the bind button on my controller but it just beeps 3 times and stops

#

still doesn't connect

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

hmm

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:18 PM

#

and when i connect to the betaflight it resets my selected reciever options that you said to input

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 4:18 PM

#

#

I found this, try that

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

how do i know when the system load is complete?

oak bane Jul 26, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

fervent plover how do i know when the system load is complete?

all beeps finished I would assume

fervent plover Jul 26, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

okay

#

i tried pressing that button but the green light just keeps flashing

#

seems like it doesnt respond

#

#

maybe its something with the status?

cinder sparrow Jul 26, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

Let me know if you still need help, I have a little bit of time I can use to help now if you still need it.

fervent plover Jul 27, 2023, 8:57 AM

#

i still do indeed

cinder sparrow Jul 27, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

Did you get any further with this connection problem?

fervent plover Jul 27, 2023, 11:00 AM

#

nope

#

but i think that my whole board could be fried or idk because i checked my motors on beta and only 2 were spinning

cinder sparrow Jul 27, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

OK, if you have time now - AND will accept us doing this via a call and screen sharing - I can take a look for the next hour or so. Cannot guarantee we will fix anything, but can have a look over everything. Two motors not spinning could mean a Firmware issue - I have had something similar before where two of my ESCS appeared not to exist at all on a certain firmware version, but then came back to life on another version.

fervent plover Jul 27, 2023, 11:03 AM

#

yea ok i will in a sec call u

cinder sparrow Jul 27, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

OK, you let me know when you're ready, and I will call (I have to move into another room to do the call, so let me know when you're good to go). I'll send you a direct message, let me know there.

fervent plover Jul 27, 2023, 11:04 AM

#

ready

cinder sparrow Jul 27, 2023, 11:05 AM

#

OK< with you shortly.... Can you momentarily allow me to call please - you have a setting that only allows friends to call/message you.
