literally just want to bind my drone

won't work

[slate sun]

What Radio TX do you have?

[frail spoke]

Is the issue with binding or connecting to the Configurator?

[frosty gyro]

Connecting to the beta flight app

[formal oasis]

Is this your first time trying to connect it or did it just stop connecting one day?

[frail spoke]

At what step does it fail? Ie. your OS doesn't recognize it, the configurator doesn't recognize it, the configurator can recognize it but won't connect, etc...?

[slate sun]

If your device doesn't show up, and the 1st time your trying to get this to work. Please try the drivers listed below, I have had the best luck with the ImpulseRC driver when I'm having connection issues.

[frosty gyro]

can i connect my transmitter to the aircraft via betaflight

[frosty gyro]

Battery in the quad right

Just checking

@slate sun

[slate sun]

Depends on if RX is powered by USB?

[frosty gyro]

It’s not picking anything up still

What the fuck is going on :((

[frosty gyro]

First time

[frosty gyro]

First step

Doesn’t even pick it up

[frail spoke]

What FC does it have?

[frosty gyro]

@frail spoke

[frail spoke]

None of that appears to be a flight controller

[frosty gyro]

When I opened the cover

The cover takes a min

This one

@frail spoke

[frail spoke]

It looks like it's using a USB extension internally, can you check that it's not messed up?

[frosty gyro]

How should I check

Do you have a diagram or idea of what I’m looking for image wise

[frail spoke]

No clue, it's hard to tell. But it does not look like it's being connected directly to the FC as shown in this photo #1478567607211659465 message

[frosty gyro]

Oh I see

Maybe I’m missing the port

@frail spoke

Where should the port be

[frail spoke]

Hard to say without having the drone in hand

[frosty gyro]

They said same thing

I wonder if it’s the USB-C in the back

[mellow charm]

I sure hope somebody has a solution to this. I connected a brand-new X14 flight controller and flashed the new version of Betaflight. Then I built the quad and went to finish the rest of the computer stuff, but now it wil.l not connect. I've tried the boot button and the Impulse RC Driver Fixer, but the computer has no idea it's connected

[frosty gyro]

Same issue here

How do we fix

[frail spoke]

let's open it up and look

[frail spoke]

Best off creating a separate post if you haven't already

[mellow charm]

posted it now. I appreciate any help I can get. It's the craziest thing because it fires up just fine when I hook the battery up.

[frosty gyro]

I can’t even open it

I’ve been trying

Piece of shit drone

[frosty gyro]

I can’t even get it to bind

I tried everything

What’s going on

@frail spoke

Do I need to connect drone AND controller to the pc

[frail spoke]

innactivity alarm would be my best guess

Were you able to get access to the FC and see if there's anything going on with the USB connection?

[frosty gyro]

Nothing wrong

I checked

Unplugged the USBC and replugged after taking the frame apart

[frail spoke]

Was it going to the rear/side port then? Were you able to connect to the Configurator?

[frosty gyro]

It was yes, but no feedback even directly into FC

Fearing the FC is fried

[frail spoke]

1. Connect the FC
2. Go to the web Configurator app
3. In the port selection dropdown, select I can't find my USB Device
4. Get a screenshot of the menu that pops up.

[frosty gyro]

I’ve tried this

Hmm

I installed several drivers

[frail spoke]

I'm not trying to guess what you did/didn't do, I just want to see what's happening with it right now

[frosty gyro]

Basically no data came up at all

Not even a recognization of the port

[frail spoke]

If it's anything but empty, I'd like to see it

[frosty gyro]

Yes I’ll let you know

I’ll try again later

I can’t find anyone local who can help rn

[frail spoke]

I can

at least I'd like to think so

[frosty gyro]

Thanks

I appreciate

Should I take the drone apart again

[frail spoke]

If the USB extension works fine, you can use that

[frosty gyro]

Been trying

[latent crypt]

u dont have this usbc port on ur drone? cause thats the fc link u send
and the other thing how r u binding crsf, you know u need to click a button on the reciever right ?

[torpid fog]

Have you tried plugging it in and unplugging it 5 times really fast

Doesn't that enter bind mode

[latent crypt]

why do it that way there is a button

next to the usbc port

[tacit frigate]

okay what are you talking about? That button isn't related to binding, it's the BOOT button to put it into DFU mode

[latent crypt]

yea

oiiii omg

i just realized what @torpid fog meant

[latent crypt]

yea no im stupid i thought it was towards the topic of dfu sorry gng

[tacit frigate]

oh no worries

I'm confused myself

so apparently it doesn't connect to Betaflight now?

We need more details

[latent crypt]

yea, and he is using some kind of usb adapter wich i dont know why
there is a litteral usb c port on the drone?
and if it dont conect just put it in dfu mode load the firmware and done?
or am i missing smting

[frosty gyro]

Button didn’t work

Yesterday

[frosty gyro]

This didn’t do anything when I tried it yesterday

[frosty gyro]

It never did

[latent crypt]

do u even know how the boot button works?

u gotta unplug ur drone no power at all
press and hold the button
power the drone through usb
keep the button presses for like 3 secs
let the boot button go
and your drone should show up on the pc as STM32 Bootloader mode
if not get drivers
if boot button still doenst work
bridge the pads manually

[frosty gyro]

and what if I did this with power connected

@latent crypt

[latent crypt]

nothing ofc

[frosty gyro]

potential fry?

[latent crypt]

that button only bridges the boot pins

[frosty gyro]

aight

Bet

[latent crypt]

just nothing

[frosty gyro]

so no power to connect this fc

[latent crypt]

like i said on top

it basicly bridges these

so the MCU boots into the default bootloader mode

[frosty gyro]

should I configure FC without battery too

[frosty gyro]

Nothing happened

:((

[latent crypt]

can you get a screenshot of your device manager

else go quickly get them zadig and impulserc driver fixer drivers

[frosty gyro]

Which part do u need

[latent crypt]

uhhh bottom i think

im on arch i forgot how its named

[frosty gyro]

I don’t have discord on this pc

I hate this pc

It’s my laptop

[latent crypt]

further down u should see 2 more options i think

[latent crypt]

yes in the subfolders of every tab where there is this little usb symbol

somewhere you should see the drone in dfu mode

[latent crypt]

ur drone is connected?

[frosty gyro]

Yes

[latent crypt]

are you still using this usb adapter type thing

[tacit frigate]

Do any lights on the FC light up at all?

[latent crypt]

just use ur fc usbc port direcly

[frosty gyro]

Zero

[latent crypt]

y ur fc is not gettin no power

[frosty gyro]

Impossible

[tacit frigate]

Yeah, if there are no lights at all, then probably the FC is dead or is not getting power

[latent crypt]

take the frame appart

[frosty gyro]

it ain’t easy

[latent crypt]

u dont need to acces this usbc every day

[frosty gyro]

It takes 2 hrs

[frosty gyro]

Probably fried

[latent crypt]

but ur adapter is not working

[latent crypt]

the adaper is just not the way to go

[tacit frigate]

either that or your adapter is not working

[frosty gyro]

It’s not an adapter it’s just a USB-C extension

[latent crypt]

from my opinion and rather non experianced brain

[frosty gyro]

This thing is designed like shit I’m ngl

Like

bad

[latent crypt]

usbc to usbc?

[frosty gyro]

Yes

[latent crypt]

do u have a link for that

[frosty gyro]

Link

[latent crypt]

detalis

name

anything

[frosty gyro]

Oh no it just looks kinda generic

it’s on the website

One sec

I did get this drone cheap asf for what it is

Bet you it’s fried

Paid only $2K

they usually resell for 5

[latent crypt]

get the fc out idfk

then try this stuff https://shirofpv.dev/flight-controller/dfu

i would just blame this fking adapter

[frosty gyro]

uhhhhhh

[latent crypt]

yes ik 2 hours

but if ur fc is fucked u gtg take it out eitherways

[frosty gyro]

Idk if I wanna flash/update the firmware of the fc

[latent crypt]

ok go fly then

[frosty gyro]

lmao it will destroy all the tunes

If I updated it

[latent crypt]

ah ok then go save em

cli : dump all

[frosty gyro]

remind you: I just bought this thing

it came prebuilt from lumenier

maybe I should send it to them?

[latent crypt]

go for it idk

[frosty gyro]

yeaaaa :/ maybe I should

[tacit frigate]

What do you mean by this? It will depend on the board. Also if the board is in DFU, "no reboot sequence" must be enabled

[latent crypt]

ask @tacit frigate hes more educated than me

[latent crypt]

ik

it says behind

nvm

it should

wtf

im dumb

ig

lol

[frosty gyro]

I wish the fc was more accessible lol

This thing is designed poorly

[latent crypt]

or the specific target name

its just specified towards my own fc @tacit frigate

thats why XD

[frosty gyro]

My issue is there is ZERO documentation on this frame

It’s total dogshit

[latent crypt]

then id not have bought it

[frosty gyro]

yeaaaaaaa

[tacit frigate]

gotcha, but that's not even a valid official target

[latent crypt]

ik

[tacit frigate]

what frame is it?

[latent crypt]

sadly not

[frosty gyro]

You’d think they would have documentation on a $5,000 drone

[frosty gyro]

Lumenier QAV PRO cinelifter

[tacit frigate]

Idk, contact Lumenier I guess

[frosty gyro]

It’s not like a normal self explanatory quad

It’s like

A DJI ass quad

to take apart at least

I think I may need to flip it upside down to access the electronics

[latent crypt]

u said u bought it from lumiere

[frosty gyro]

and pull it like a dinner plate?? Idk this thing sucks

[latent crypt]

casue u cant buy this assembled as much as i see

[frosty gyro]

Secondhand

[latent crypt]

yea see

not lumieres fault

[frosty gyro]

Yeaaaaa

Probably fried

[latent crypt]

they will just tell u to go fk urself and buy a new frame

now take it appart or cry

u cant find the error if ur distancing yourself form the error

[frosty gyro]

ima send it to them probably tbh

I already did all this

I took it apart and tried to connect and didn’t work

I may have an idea of accessing FC

[latent crypt]

gl

[frosty gyro]

Horrible cable management

I’m ngl

Maybe the laptop’s port is bad

Haven’t tried diff computer yet

Or diff cable

[tacit frigate]

Definitely do that

[frosty gyro]

Does a Mac work

[tacit frigate]

Yeah it should

[frosty gyro]

If nothing else works I’ll send to Lumenier

Would usb A to C be better

I’ve only tried C to C

@tacit frigate

[tacit frigate]

Sometimes C to C is weird, Try A to C

I've had C to C cables not work on certain FCs

If your computer only has USB C (like a macbook) then you could use an OTG adapter (USB C to A) on the computer side, and plug in a USB A to C cable into that adapter

[frosty gyro]

Yes

I’ll try A to C

I swear the hardest part about flying sUAS is not even flying

Only thing I’m good at is flying lmao

[frosty gyro]

Fixed it

It was the chord I was using :/

It has to be A to C

I have a seperate issue now tho

Nvm it’s going

Had to plug and replug

[frosty gyro]

Should I get a new transmitter?

Drone won't connect to TX

[frail spoke]

The Tango should be compatible given some amount of software updating

An ELRS radio definitely wouldn't work without also replacing the receiver in the drone

[frosty gyro]

Just talked with the creators of the tango

They are adding Edge tx
