Crazyflie 2.1 is not able to take off
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2021 7:13 am
Hello! As the title describes, I'm not able to fly my crazyflie 2.1. This is mainly because one of the propellers (M3) is slow to start than the rest of the propellers. This causes the drone to rotate around the M3 propeller. I recorded the issue in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sldY38y4aIA
I'm following the normal flight guide https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/t ... mal-flight where I control the crazyflie using the app with full thrust while not touching other controllers.
This is what I tried to do to fix/troubleshoot the problem thus far:
1- Check that the propellers are assembles according to the documentation (and they are assembled correctly).
2- Blow on each propeller individually to confirm that they spin in the correct direction. I did notice that M3's propeller doesn't spin as easy as the other propellers.
3- Loosen the M3 propeller from the motor holder. This didn't help much.
4- Replace the propeller on M3 arm with a different B1 propeller, same problem kept happening.
5- Balance the weight of the battery connector. According to the CF client, my drone is tilted slightly to the direction of M3.
I ran out of ideas of how to troubleshoot this problem. Should I replace the motor? Has anyone been faced with this similar problem?
