after arming .. the tail motor starts at 75% throttle, the left motor starts at 80-85% throttleand the right motor starts at 90-95% throttle when i trim the throttle to max.. otherwise only the left and the tail motor start at 85% throttle..
what to do ??? ??? :hatsoff:

What about ESC calibration?

Darshan for multirotors

i had told you about the esc callibration thing.. there is a continuous beep like tetetetetete from the esc connected to ch2 and while the esc connected to ch3 is spinning.. when i bring the right stick to bottom left.. the sound stops and the motor spins as it is..

I think the way you calibrated is wrong.

Actual procedure was(do this for each ESC):
1) connect ESC to throttle channel(normally CH3 For mode 2) and leave all other ESCs Unconnected.
2) turn on transmitter + push throttle to max
3) power up ESC (you can hear just two beeps like tee tee)
4) push throttle to its min(can hear sound teee)
5) you can check motor speed now after that just Disconnect ESC.
Done.

Then connect 2nd ESC to the empty channel( I mean a channel for battery in receiver).

Still it is not powering up...

Might be a faulty Rx?
Did you check the BEC's supply?Even the BEC could be faulty?Try checking the supply from the BEC using a multimeter!

You can power it up by connecting a bec to any of its channels, bind port or power port.

If you are trying to calibrate each ESC separately, connect each at a time to throttle channel and calibrate. But calibrating through multiwii is easier than this separate calibration procedure

If you don't know how to calibrate with multiwii or you are having some trouble doing so, I can send you the ESC calibration code. You just have yo load that code on to your multiwii board, connect escs to respective channels and power up, no need of RX and tx

kk 5.5 is equally hard to set up. You should have just bought a kk 2.1 and saved yourself the trouble.

kk2.1 is the best for starting out with multirotors

Even i was of that impression, but since when I owned a CC3D, I never recommended a KK for beginners :giggle:
