Bigquad - Not Producing PWM values

Post by Lombazombie »

Hey,

We have a BigQuad that we have been using. Recently, we replaced some parts for the big drone, but now our BigQuad does not produce a PWM.

We manually change the motor parameters in the client, and we don't get any outputs. We get a solid DC output from the signal port (I believe it was a solid 5V). We had to correct 5V and ground for the BEC through the CPPM side port. Based on the schematics, it looks like they all go to the same 5V port.

Any advice would be great. Thank you.

Edit:

For more context this is the output in the console:

Do you have another crazyflie to test with, just to rule out that there is a problem with the hardware. Also does the crazyflie calibrate? I'm can't remember but it might not send out any signal until the sensors has calibrated.
