KannikaP Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 From where did you buy it, and for how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Check the manual Has all been turned on in the correct order ? Has the correct channel been selected on the tx is the tx pre programed ? Ps Are you familiar with rc equipment ? Was there a binding plug with the receiver ? Did you use it ?

KhunLA Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 To add, all switches on the FlySky TX need to be in the proper position. Try re-binding. Also test on your other drones, to eliminate the TX as the problem. Assuming new drone uses a computable protocol with TX. Check to make sure the RX wire/plug hasn't come loose since initial binding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Op Quote leds are flashing but nothing Usually led's go solid when rx-tx are bound correctly. check your manual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I suggest go to a drone forum, if possible for your model or controller, etc. I don't have any up to date links. Last time I played with BetaFlight a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejets Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) 16 hours ago, quake said: Usually led's go solid when rx-tx are bound correctly. Correct...... proceedure is place the binding plug supplied in the "battery/bind " socket in the receiver.(only one place it's obvious by the markings) power up the receiver with the rx battery plugged into any of the remaining servo sockets..... watch for correct polarity, you don't get a second chance if it's wrong. Receiver Led will flash.......... turn on transmitter and select "bind" in the menu. Wait for receiver Led to go solid then remove battery from receiver and turn off transmitter. Remove binding plug then repower, transmitter first, Led should be solid. NOTE:...........Best to do the binding with at least, all propellers romoved. BTW.......make sure you have the appropriate licence/permit.....penalties for operation without one can be rather stiff...........remember you are operating where manned aircraft fly at times.

3NUMBAS Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) i recalled i had a collision with an object so ordered some new motors and ESCs think i may have done damage to an ESC or motor so going for a rebuild Edited April 17, 2023 by 3NUMBAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3NUMBAS Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 is the binding plug just a simple cable that goes to 2 pins so used a plug in cable ,no polarity?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3NUMBAS Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 the tx says rxbinding but it never completes and the red led is still flashing on the controller .it never goes solid red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quake Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Op You crashed it, so could be many things wrong. As suggested by an other poster have a look round utube plenty of tutorials on stuff, just find your model and watch a few. Here is one on a Flysky transmitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a2Op7Zbqm8 Also mentioned by an other poster, remove props before working on it. Also watch some utube stuff on battery charging, battery fires and storage of batteries. It does sound like you need to bring your understanding of RC up a little bit. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quake Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 You could do with looking at calibration of ESC's again loads on utube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3NUMBAS Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 the new ESCs have different wiring , a red and a black for power but signal wire has only 2 wires in stead of 3 wires ,what do i do ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at this clip. At a guess it's missing the telemetry wire. But not 100% sure. You could just put them on and see what features don't work. maybe they are just things you don't use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_pLCGmSW2c and this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTGlZSgtKVA Edited April 24, 2023 by quake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Can you exchange the ESC units for the correct ones. or are you stuck with them ? what was the cost of them all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to show photos of the before and after (old and new) so people know what you are referring to. Crystal ball gets very cloudy when info is scarce. Binding plug is a servo plug with a short wire across the two outer terminals. Edited April 25, 2023 by bluejets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3NUMBAS Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 the 3 wires are yellow red and brown supposed to be for 3 phases of motor ,,now new escs have 2 wires white and black and have shielding,technology has moved on in 8 years ,but where to? on youtube clip it says you dont need these wires if you dont want em .cant figure that one also old drone has a decoupling capacitor of 220 uF at esc power and signal but now has no capacitor so wondering if i should move em across? or are they no longer needed??ile get some photos organised ,,thanks for your input flight controller is a Naze 32 type which may have been updated by now .i have a spare controller which is a CC3D which i can change to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your latest statement doesn't make any sense. Primarily as the 3 motors cables are power wiring and never seen or required any "shielding" If on the other hand you are referring to the "servo" plug, yes, they do many times only run the signal and common ground as the bus power is already there, fed via receiver. There can be many variations so show what you have there........ Example of 2 wire signal below....... Edited April 25, 2023 by bluejets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejets Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) JR cable (from controller).......red = positive supply......... brown = negative supply .......... yellow = signal cable 2 core from each esc ( blue and black........... depending on esc brand ) would normally be (but you need to supply a link to where you bought the esc to be certain) blue = signal line and black = negative common.( as above....check with the specs on your esc to be absolutely certain......... you don't get two goes at it if you are wrong) There is no need for the red from the controller to be connected as the controller already has supply and the esc gets it's supply from the battery leads ( heavier red and black cores) I've already shown this above so if you cannot follow it, suggest you get in touch with one of the blokes that fly models up there in Udon. Don't know if the club is still operational, last time I saw them was around 5 years ago, but the blokes will surely be around somewhere.

quake Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Op, did you establish that the esc unit/units were the original fault. and not the main control board ? just a thought. Ps you could push the boat out and buy the correct parts. Sorry, could not resist it. Edited May 11, 2023 by quake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
