Ok, then at least you have 4 channels correctly connected. I assume you have a FC with PWM Inputs, since you have an ia6 receiver. Which FC? Are you sure channel 5 and 6 cables are correctly attached to the FC?

If so, looking at your Transmitter, are you sure it really transmits on channel 5 and 6? If you have a spare servo, you can connect that to channel 5 and then to channel 6 on the receiver to verify that the channels indeed reacts to the switches.

[GAntonjo]

Ahhh, by the way… If your receiver tab does not show any reaction to the sticks, you have somethi g wrong either at the transmitter side, or for the connection between the receiver and the FC. Which receiver do you use?

None of these problems are TriCopter specific:-)

Direction of the motors may be changed by using BlHeli Suite (or the BlHeli app in Chrome). Connect the USB from the PC to the FC and start BlHeli Suite, connect to the serial port you normally use for CleanFlight configurator app, read the settings, change direction on the motors in question and write the changes back to the ESCs.

For the receiver, go to the receiver tab and verify that all channels react to the correct stick and switches on your transmitter. You may change the order by changing the order fro e.g. TAER1234 to AERT4321 if that is what you need to get all channels mapped.
A=Aileron (Roll)
E=Elevator (Pitch)
T=Throttle
R=Rudder (Yaw)
1 to 4 = AUX 1 to AUX 4

@aoym: I found your post in the spam filter. Not sure why, but at least here you see both your last messages;-)

Sure that you have connected the X4R correctly? Pictures of your receiver and connections will help.

[GAntonjo]

Resize the pictures so they are less than 512 kBytes and try again, or upload them to e.g. Google Drive and share them from there.

Which version of the NAZE do you have and which version of the firmware are you running on the FC?

[GAntonjo]

To answer that, you have to tell how your R8 resistor is mounted, on 5V or on BEC pads? This is the one that tells which BEC to use for UART2&3. R13 resistor tells whether to use 3.3V or 5V on UART1. Finally there are solderpads marked “BEC-V” that selects 6V or 8V on the generic BEC. If none of these pads are brigded, the BEC outputs 5V.

Take photo of your board showing all components and send a support ticket to David at https://rcexplorer.se/faq/ if you still have problems. That is the best way to get help directly from the designer of this board;-)

Have a look at
F3FC Description .

There you have pictures pointing to the 3.3V or 5V selection for the UART1. That is, there is a separate BEC for UART 1 in order to be able to power e.g. a Spectrum receiver from UART1. This is described further down on the product description page.

Hi, @Bentomannen. It all depends on what type of receiver and gimbal controller you are using;-) I, for instance, am using a FrSky X4R-SB to control both the F3FC (through CPPM) and the Gimbal Controller (an StoRM32 BGC v1.31 NT) through the SBUS port. This gives me channels 1-8 over CPPM and channels 9-16 over SBUS (OK SBUS actually carries all 16 channels, but using 1-8 for the gimbal controller would obviously not be smart;-) )

Tail Tune is a “pure triFlight” function for the moment. It was made by @lkaino for the triFlight version of cleanFlight. Maybe the developers of BF/CF will some time port that function into CF/BF, who know..

[GAntonjo]

A link to that LUA script would be nice 😉

[GAntonjo]

@crash: Good to hear Santa was nice with you. I would suggest you get an X4R-SB receiver to use on your miniTri, as the X8R in my opinion is way too big 😉
Good luck at the “FrSky School”.

Triflight 0.6 RC1
@lkaino lkaino released this on Nov 5 · 9 commits to master since this release

DUE TO ISSUES IN CLEANFLIGHT 1.14 USING THIS RELEASE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. USE 0.5 INSTEAD. RC2 WILL FOLLOW ONCE THE ISSUES ARE FIXED

[GAntonjo]

Ok, then we have ruled out a battery error 😉 In this latest picture I guess you have connected just an ESC with BEC and that the BEC is correctly outputing 5 V.

The problem now cooks down to some kind of shortage in the PDB (and in the CC-BEC). A weird coincidence of production errors in two different products from 2 different providers may be the cause. I once bought a STorM32 Brushless Gimbal controller board from USA, powered it on with correct polarity and still it blew up one (or two, don’t remember) tantalum capacitors. Trying to get that fixed from the provider was impossible, so I bought a new board from China, proving to be a much better buy. Not being an expert in which components are used on the board, I still believe the fried component is a tantalum capacitor, which has to be placed with correct plus and ground polarity. If this is placed with wrong polarity it will for sure blow up. However, looking at the first picture you posted, it looks as it was actually placed correctly, compared to the picture at the products page.

End of story from my side, I really don’t know what caused your problem:-(
