It’s a bit of a stab in the dark but any chance you have the V1 not V1.2 version of the FC as the Buzzer pads are in a different location for that one.
Main distinguishing difference I can see easily is that the V1.2 has just 745AIO in board writing and V1 has GN745AIO instead.
Take the yellow wire of its pad and touch it to GND (ground) if it buzzes the Vifly buzzer unit works if it doesn’t then it’s either faulty or the built in battery is flat. Using a multimeter check the 5v pad is actually providing 5v, you’ll probably need the LiPo battery connected for this
Ten minutes of 5v power is enough to charge the battery to make it sound.
Fair point. It’s defo the V1.2 board. All the markings (e.g. board orientation arrow) and pad positions match the images of the V1.2.
I tried this - no buzzing.
Confirmed, the pad is giving 5V. I checked at the JST connector that plugs into the buzzer as well, which is also giving 5V.
I’ve had a LiPo plugged in2-3 times for around 10-15 minutes. The onboard battery does warm up and there is a red LED that lights up too, so I assume it’s receiving power correctly.
I’ve emailed Flywoo to see if they can shed some light but they won’t be back from celebrating the New Year until 17th Feb.
From the troubleshooting steps it could still be an issue with the buzzer or the flight controller user/manufacturer setup?
maybe go the cheaper option and just buy another buzzer to try? Worst case it still doesn’t work best case you prove the buzzer was bust and send it back
A new weekend a new issue to troubleshoot (love this hobby ). Btw, the buzzer issue is still pending a response from Flywoo and Vifly.
What reasons might the quad be bouncing up and down on the ground when I arm it and leave the throttle at zero? See video link below.
I’ve run through some suggestions I’ve seen online, e.g. I’ve double and triple checked the props and motor direction and order - they’re defo correct.
The board orientation is correct.
I’ve checked for shorts between any of the motors by checking for continuity between the windings and the frame/motor screws - there are none.
The tuning is the default Betaflight 4.4.3, which I thought would be just ok.
It’s worth noting, after doing 3-4 short arms/disarms (as in the video) all four of the motors and even the motor screws and arms feel very warm.
Is this just a tuning thing or is there a deeper issue likely to be at play?
EDIT: sorry gang, I feel like every weekend I’m posting on here for help! I’m very thankful for the help!
Can watch now (if I click through to youtube anyways). Ummm Is that angle mode? In ACRO I wouldn’t expect that, but the props and motor rotation look fine. If angle then yeah air mode!
Its because its a sub250. You could try and lower your idol throttle value to reduce the effect. Basically because its so light your idol throttle is producing enough thrust to lift the quad off the ground slightly then when it bumps back into the ground air mode kicks in and is causing the bounce effect.
Turning off permanently enable airmode seems to have made the issue go away but doesn’t necessarily confirm if the previous behaviour is normal.
Similar to gunja99, my Mobula7 doesn’t do this when I arm it or when I land and throttle down to zero.
I have.
According to the Betaflight tip for motor idle (in the screen grab below), this is disregarded if Dynamic Idle is active but I can’t find that setting to check! I can do some trial and error to see if reducing it has any effect.
