Re: Bad soldering
Did you happen to unplug the GPS so you could remove the top shell? The motors will not start if the GPS is disconnected.

oh mannn i didnt plug the gps !!!!! lol gonna try that in a bit here. Ya i really dont think i would fry all 3.....and yes its my first time soldering !!! good thing is i sent it to a high tech place to get the soldering done right.......now i need to tell them to plug the gps in lol
You should watch Youtube reviews of T-motors... Some people have had all kinds of problems with them. You need to also make sure when installing them you get the wiring correct (they're not color coded, all grey) so the motor spins in the right direction!! Unlike DJI-2212 motors, they are not CW/CCW spinning. The wiring configuration determines the direction of rotation.himo said:
Why are you changing the motors anyway? Genuine DJI-2212 motors are cheaper and more efficient.
In relation to CF props. Retailers claim they are pre-balanced, but generally are not. I only use CF and balance them all before even attempting to fly with them. If you are not a confident flyer, avoid them as they make the Phantom 'twitchy'. Particularly in windy conditions and they are very sharp & can cause serious injury in the event of an accident when spinning at 15,000rpm
I definitely like the T-Motor CF props, pristinely perfect. But not worth the 5x price they cost, perhaps 1.5x tops. I also really like the T-Motor motors, significantly more powerful and quieter, although roughly 2x DJI cost, I thought reasonable.
Hey no i havent yet. I think one of my ESC boards is fried. i got my soldering redone at a tech place. Still no motors are spinning even with gps plugged in. Im getting green flashing on the led lights but nothing happens when i switch motors on. any ideas?? there is no way i fried 4 of them. I have ordered 2 just incase should be here by today or monday . but im gettin no spinning
Now if i remove the ESC board and try to test nothing works it beeps. i think there has to be 4 boards there to test. i have to wait till monday to receive ESC boards. Im so bummed its nice out and i wanna fly so bad lol ....

be careful with those gains. i would recommend you keep them default, even with T-motors. i've had a couple P2s flip on me because i wanted a faster drone!

unfortuantely you do have to have all 4 ESCs soldered in place or craft will not function properly. if even 1 ESC is broken the craft will not power on! luckily the ESC LED indicators show which one is ****.

Hi Phixer,
That was why I tune my gains down and not up. If I have stayed with the default gains, my craft will be faster and stronger. The default gains gave me high freq oscillations, causing the camera to shake too much. Was afraid it would damage the cam. I have since retune my gains and the numbers are as follows now.
Basic:
Pitch: 100% Roll: 100% Yaw: 120% Vertical: 200%
Attitude: both 220%
hey guys ...quick question... if the led is not flashing on 2 of the legs is that an indication of 2 defective escs? i know for sure that i have messed one up coz i ripped the plate of it.
im getting good at this ...luckily i ordered 2 escs before diagnosis lol i just felt it man....me and my phantom have a mental connection already!!! ill be up and flying on monday hopefully!! then i got tiger motor calibration to worry about lol
