Okay so this is my fist post to this forum and I can't figure out what's going on with my FC's software. So I guess just bare with me while I write a short novel. I'm going to try to get all the info out there at once so you guys can help me faster.
Okay so I'm more or less a total noob to this hobby I have flown quads before but this is my first build. I think I bit off a little more than I could chew here but that's how you learn right? My flight controller is a SPracing f3 deluxe, the motors I'm running are Hobbymate 2204-2300kv they work great I'v tested them and I really like the motors. I'm planning on using 5x4.5x3 Props but I haven't even gotten that far. The ESCs that I'm using are Hobbypower 30 amp. I've done some reseach on them for documentation and according to the internet they are a clone of the Hobbywing 30 amp ESCs. Don't know if that will help but I'm putting it put there anyway. My PDB is a Matek Systems PDB XT60 Idon't think it realy matters but I'm putting it out there anyway. So back to the FC, I flashed it with CleanFlight and got it connected to the receiver using PWM. That all when pretty smoothly, I know they're talking because I can turn it on and see values jump around in the receiver tab of clean flight. when I plug the battery in the ESCs make the normal starting BEEP BEEP BEEP and then repeat a single beep with a 1-2 second pause in between them. I think that means that ESCs aren't getting any signal from the FC, but I'm not sure how to check/fix that if it is the case. I have tried going to the motors tab and playing with the sliders there to see if the motors do anything, but still no response. I tried it with every different ESC protocol option in the configuration tab.
So the biggest question is how do I get he motors to turn on and spin?
Thank you in advance.
