Thread: Help setting up KK5.5 controller

I bought one of e x525 v3 quads off eBay. Been trying to set it up but I'm struggling. I want to fly it in the x configuration, so flashed the firmware to xcopter and I think I have everything plugged in correctly, but the props don't move the way I would expect.

Thing is, I can't work out if the re-flashing of the software has done anything, or whether I have a motor in the wrong socket.

Could anyone post a pic of the rx connections, and maybe a few links to the correct software to use to reprogram my controller board.

Think I've got it sorted. Can see why people get ****ed off with these things. So many variations of software, conflicting instructions etc.

Only thing now is I've been supplied with 3 normal props and only one counter clockwise prop. Guess the maiden will have to wait.

Cheers,

That's where I found out that the newer 4.7 firmware had a different motor order to the original x configuration instructions.

Messed around with it for a few batteries this morning. Can't get it trimmed out, seems to have a mind of it's own. Not very successful to be honest.

Turn the gains up Si and make sure you balance the props.

Will give it a go.

All sorted, out of frustration I tried reversing the yaw gyros and hey presto she flew practically hands off. Everything was set correct to the instructions, but again it looks like they have changed something in the 4.7 software which I have not spotted. Gains are 40% roll, 0 % on pitch and 50% on yaw. Says something about tweaking the pitch pot to suit your style, but at the moment I have no idea what it is supposed to do ( something about I and P values? )

Thanks for that. Quite amazed how well it flew, it was only seconds away from being kicked over to the next door neighbours !! Will have a look through that info.
