MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?
Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?
I've notices it is often the Y axis on the accelerometer that breaks (left and right movement of the Crazyflie). Since there are actually moving parts in the silicon I read that when it breaks it is often because it gets stuck in an end position. An interesting test would be to bang the the Crazyflie on the M2, M4 motor side and see if it possible to get it working again. Preferable without the motors and mounts attached, but doing it with should also work, with the risk of damaging the motors.

Hello, interesting update/idea.
Before packing up the CF for its return to China for repair, I did in fact tap (rather than bang) the assembled CF on all 4 arms out of curiosity, but it did not help.
Too late now for me to try to 'bang' instead, will be curious to hear if this works for others.
The Seeedstudio Customer Service folks were very prompt and helpful in their replies, and the CF began its journey 'home' yesterday.
Cheers, Leland

Thanks Tobias, this solution worked at least for metobias wrote:An interesting test would be to bang the the Crazyflie on the M2, M4 motor side and see if it possible to get it working again.
I have detached the motor and mount from M2 and and banged the Crazyflie a couple of times on the table and after restarting, the self tests passed again!
So for everyone having this problem, I recommend trying the solution described by Tobias.

So... sometimes violence is the solution Too bad I already sent mine away, I'd really love to try that right now
Also: AR.Drone 2.0 (RC-enabled thanks to self-soldered MiruMod) and Hubsan X4 H107

Wow, didn't really expect it to work, cool!Thanks Tobias, this solution worked at least for me
Can you also report back if it is flying as before and especially when hovering?
Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?
Tapping/banging worked for me, too. Flies as before, with hovering still being somewhat difficult.

I would also say, that the flight behavior is like before. Hovering wasn't really easy from the beginning and there is still some drifting I cant't get under control. But I am still playing with the trim values for role and pitch...

I managed to "repair" mine with big dose of luck and re-soldering/re-heating MPU6050 pads. Now it works as new - hope it will lastseba wrote:Possibly have the same issue here....After power off-on sequence it won't start, flashes about 5 times in red all the time. Don't have CF here to check console now, but after reading this thread it can be broken gyro problem.
Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?
I've returned the crzayflie to Seeed and they repaired the IMU. It arrived today. The selft test now runs succesfully. Hopefully I can get to play with it real soon.
