I bought a "parts or repair" Mobula6 for dirt cheap that was advertised as having a bad motor that ended up just being a slipped outer sleeve on the motor bell that was dragging against the base. After fixing it by pushing the sleeve back up, I eventually noticed the affected motor wouldn't start reliably at the end of a battery and thought, "Oh, that's why he wanted it gone," until I noticed all four motors were doing it. Time to start playing with ESC settings. Turns out the solution for my quad was identical, right down to the value used, so thanks for leading me in this direction.
Thank you very much for leaving this comment. Pinned. I spent quite a bit of time on this -- and it kind of flopped in terms of views, BUT I'm incredibly happy to hear that this was the video that help you fix the mobula 6, and lead to you getting in the air dirt cheap! 😎 Made my day to hear that it was all worth it now. Enjoy and thanks again~!
Very interesting troubleshooting. You were so calm through the whole process while my default position is PANIC. Thank you.
Did you also have this problem with one of your drones, and did it help to resolve it?
This is freaking awesome John. Move the music and the entire web app flash tutorial is amazing!
It's cool that someone finally made a website for it.
thank you, the motor startup power problem fix works for me. 1050/1175 was the solution
Great overview of the ESC configurator software John, and also problem solving those issues you had with the motor start up 👍
Thanks for checking it out! 😎 I'm so happy it's not "bricked."
Hellow,you just saved my mobula7 plate that had been lying in a corner for years,a hug.
Your video is really helpful.. my mob7 hd works again after i follow your instruction with the max start up power.. thank you
😊👍
Thanks, man. Helped with my th3.
That 1100 / 1200 worked like a charm on blujay. Thank you!
That's great, thanks for letting me know! It's a little amazing that this is still an issue that comes up years later. 🧐
@@JohnCuppi I had JESC ESC on that ESCs on a older build. But I think the problems are motors which are not the same in power when beginning to spin. In JESC ESC or BLHeli-S, the setting was easy with a Dropdown. But that min / max shit, you have to figure out and your video did exactly that 🙂
Awesome, thx!
Nice John cuppi thanks brother . That's awesome. I can't thank you enough. For helping me. Great video bro👍
👍😎
Hey Thanks for your video helpt me allot , i also have a question how do i get the musik from Rox Wolf on the esc it doesnt work out of the box
Thanks for this video. Similar issue with Mobula7 1s. One of the motors on startup didn't spin, although it did fly great. But following your guide here worked a charm. Great tutorial
Happy flying! 😎👌
Are you using Dynamic Idle or Static Idle when you enabled the Bi-Directional D-Shot & Dynamic Filtering? Happy Model actually recommends on their website now to use 1100/1200 on the Mobula7 X12 ELRS, which does have different ESC Model names though. I believe its Z-30 or something similar.
But whenever i armed my quad, only two, maybe three of the motors spun up for dynamic idle and they were cogging alittle and making a weird noise, i got it closer with dynamic idle set at 80 but that seems crazy.. Once raised from idle they work perfect though which is strange. They also all work fine with the motor test in ESC Config or Betaflights motor tab also.
So i had to go and put 20% idle, into the static idle box, running DShot300 btw, and its working okay now. It was suggested by someone else and i figured it would work, but thats not really how i wanted it to be, if possible. Id just rather have dynamic idle set instead, if i can get that to work.
I already tried maxing out both sliders for a test and it helps but it seems like its not enough and it just doesnt seem to like and it doesnt work correctly..
I flashed to the Bluejay really for the increased flight time and the extra features like B-direcentional dshot, rpm filtering, dyn notch filtering etc. Everything was fine beforehand but i was getting 3min flight times flying easy on a GNB 660mah Lihv battery..
Thanks for the video @JohnCuppi
When flashed with 96kHz, I had the same issue with two motors not starting, I increased the starting and max power to get them to run. However after reflashing at 48kHz the motors ran well on the default settings. (1106 motors)
0:43. You saved my arse. I was wrestling with trying to get any of the ESC FW configurators to read my ESCs all day and they kept failing. Plugging in a battery was what I was missing... Thank you for relaying your experience! Oh and the difficulties you resolved with failing to get the motors started are going to help me big time! I tried moving from BLHeli_M to BlueJay but was running into that exact issue, on all 4 motors. I think the ASync startup power in BLHeli_M was carrying me cause I had reverted it back and it worked fine.
Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate knowing I was able to help!
@@JohnCuppi More than that is helping me. Default settings weren't working with my Meteor 65, the motors wouldn't all spin up on arming. The "Maximum Startup Power (Protection)" setting of 1176 you found was also my magic number. Thank you again.
Good Info !!
Thank you so much, I was having this issue with my Mobula 6 flashed with JESC 48khz firmware and was wondering why 1 particular esc channel kept having issues trying to spin up, and it only worked sometimes, and when you reached close to the end of a pack, it just started going down very quickly like losing power. Thank you so much man , appreciate the tips from this video
I'm so happy this helped you out! Thank you for letting me know!
Gl thank you for sharing! I had to flash my Mobila because I was getting crazy oscillations like if I had a bad tune. I’m having some trouble writing the melody though. It just gives me the option to play. Does ESC configurator need to be connected when I open melody editor?
Thanks a lot bro - you do a magic 👍👍 thanks again for this solution - it 100% works
Welcome 👍Thanks for commenting!
hi i have a Mobula and i tried to update the firmware in configurater called BLHeli Configurator 1.2.0 Jazzmaverick Edition Beta-4 and I changed the ESC type to the one that comes from Project Mocking bird S-H-40 and i believe thats not what was in my mobula. Well flashed and was able to see that was updated afterwards , like reading the Escs but when i unplugged the bat and plugged again the motors start to tilt infinatly and now i have no access to the configurator, cant read the Escs.... So what i can say more its ... - - - ... Someone could have a call for this? thank you !
Great video bro.
✌
thx had the same problem with my meteor65
lil late but I have the same problem with my meteor 65 hd. Only 1 motor spins. And another problem is that betaflight gives me error when trying to activate bidirectional dshot (mixer mode problem detected) I ve only tried 96hz so maybe 48hz is the key?
Thanks for putting this together, John. When things are working on my quads (a miracle in my mind), I tend to leave everything as is, but I'm glad you took the risk for us to learn from. 😲
Good tip about using a laptop.
Honestly, I did not expect this to happen. I've flashed ESC firmware many times before and never encountered anything quite like this. One thing I did not talk about in the video is that I attempted to flash back to JESC 48khz, and it still didn't work! I had to reload settings using my Mobula 6 HD and then it functioned again in JESC. Either I'd gotten lucky, or this issue was something that would repeat itself. So, I attempted it again in this video and it did. I hit it head on, hoping I wouldn't break anything and it worked out. I'm glad you appreciated it, thanks for checking it out! 😎
@@JohnCuppi That's crazy! 👍
I've already tried to change the frequency with BLHeli-M, I ask why I downloaded it from the G-hub but when I turned on Diamond f4 the option did not appear, so I tried it with Bluejay and my escs disappeared ....as well as the Mobula6
Sorry to hear that. Did you manage to get this resolved or are you still having issues with it?
Hey there so one of my ESCs is missing and I no longer hear a boot up sound. Could have flashing my SB f405 mini to bluejay be the culprit?
Did it occur immediately after right after flashing? If so, then that certainly could be the culprit but if it just happened out of nowhere then that's less sure.
@@JohnCuppi I found the problem. I blew a power regulator on the board which is responsible for the ESC that is missing. Probably blew it up when I flashed Bluejay, so it was faulty hardware caused by me when I squished my stack a little to tight to fit my build.
Hello John, after I flash my Mobula7 1s ELRS the all motors won't arm. When I tested, all motors working in one direction (CW) although I set reversed in Betaflight. I've reverted back to BLHeli_S but the problems persist. Help 😢
still having problem or how you solved it ? thanks.
@@pault9593 solved it. Reversed the directions from esc configurator. Reconfigured from cmd after taking default configuration from Oscar Liang.
Just subscribed recently based or your help with a mob8 question I asked on another video. My son's mob6 ELRS is having the same issue where one motor will not spin up after flashing BlueJay. I can see it stutter but not spin up. I tried to change start up power to what you suggested but it never spins up? Any other ideas?
Can you spin each motor up on the bench individually?
@@JohnCuppi The same motor does not spin up indivually but the other 3 do. It twitches though
Man, I have no idea. The startup power method has always fixed this for me. I’m assuming you’ve tried raising the startup power a bit more than what I have here? Is it a possibility at all that the motor itself may be slightly separated from the bell? This sometimes also stops it from starting up.
I have ruined my mobula 6 completely by flashing bluejay on BLHeli-S. It played the music and I tried to fly but it didn't get off from the ground. I had one motor not spinning beforhand which I ignored initially. I took star wars theme for music. Now it doesn even want to connect and read my setup. When i wanted to flash the BLHeli-S 16.7 firmware as it was originally for this ESC, blheli configurator yells at me that unknow 0.16 bluejay frimesre is on the ESC and I can completely damage the ESCs by trying to flash a BLHeli-S firmware. What should I do now??? Terrible experience. It didn't show me any more options in betaflight either. I should mention that I choose 96mhz for rpm when flashing.
Friend, did you get any resources? I'm just like you on two plates... regret has seen!! I wanted to go back to BLHeli-S but I can't even do that because it gives an error... And I put Bluejay because in BLHeli-M there was no option to change the frequency....
Just flashed my new Beta 85 pro and motor 3 will not spin up on arming. Spins fine with pwr in Betaflight so seems like an esc info problem .. Is there a way to wipe BlueJay ? I'd just like more flight time, and of course, for my quad to take off now ....
Sorry to hear that. Yes, you can downgrade from bluejay back to BLHeli using BLHeli configurator. Have you tried bumping up the power as I did in this video? Any luck with that? It sounds exactly like my situation.
@@JohnCuppi I didnt want to do that as it seemed as tho pumping more start up power into a struggling esc would be a bad idea... I flashed bk to BL Heli and all's well now, but going to try again on 48KHZ . Maybe I'll have more luck!
Hey checked your video! Using aio board and after flashing to blue jay and writing a melody my esc2 cant be found anymore....cant reset! Cant flash back, because esc2 is not listed anymore. Any idea to bring back my second esc? Have this issue now with 2 aio boards....2nd was replacement because i thought esc is bricked....no idea how to fix.....will try tommorrow if the changes you did can fix it!?
Which AIO board has this issue currently?
@@JohnCuppi jhemcu f411 40A BMI
@@JohnCuppi in the actual esc-configurator the sliders u played with arent exist anymore....dont know how to fix it that my esc2 will be read again...
for some reason my crux 35 it wont read the escs, my other crux35 it does. only diff is i flashed one with latest r3.1 and that's the one it wont read the escs but it flies fine on betaflight set up just cant add fliltering any ideas?
Which flight controller are you using? I have two crux35, one comes with an FrSky SPI board and the other is ELRS SPI. I’ve flashed both to bluejay without issue - but need to know which you’re on to see if I can advise further.
@@JohnCuppi spi, this is mr snake btw lol
Ahh okay I did not know it was you lol. So I have a question, when you did this flash, did you have your radio turned on? I am seeing in the groups right now that apparently if your radio is on and transmitting while you flash, it can corrupt the esc flash process big time...
@@JohnCuppi it May have been hmm i dont think it was when i flashed the Board but when i was trying to do ESC stuff yes.... Ye Mr Snake came from me wanting to feed a Snake by drone and Discovering fpv... Life change forevever
I tried on my squirt succex stack motors spin in config but won’t arm
I got it I had to lower min
@@timmytson1 Thanks for letting everyone know the solution 😎🤘
Nice try dude ! Thanks
Hey John, Bluejay 0.20 is about to be released soon. Improved commutation and variable pwm. Would you like to try it?
Sure! I’ll have to look into that
I always get port already in use
I get this occasionally too, and when I do, the first thing I do is reboot. Usually resolves it. If it didn't, I would just reinstall/refresh the drivers with the ImmersionRC Driver Fixer tool.
Great stuff Coop, I am gonna send you my stuff to fix and add tunes just need for you to send me money for shipping...lol (jj)
👀 I have enough of my own stuff to fix! Lol! Thanks for stopping by.
When I flashed my esc’s to Bluejay I used a stand alone configurator & didn’t have any issues.
Did you ever go from JESC to to BlueJay? A friend of mine just had this exact situation happen on his mobula 6, and he went from JESC to BlueJay 0.12 just like me.
@@JohnCuppi as I recall I went from Blheli to Bluejay. There's so many of these now it's getting confusing. There's JESC, JazzMavrick, Bluejay & Blheli. Appears Blheli isn't as active as the others at least for the Whoop escs. At least you found a solution when you had motors not starting.
@@GeezerGramps It does get so confusing with everything for sure!
@@JohnCuppi I just saw today that JESC isn't being developed any more. Heard it from Quicksilver one of the Emu developers.
@@GeezerGramps I didn’t know that but it honestly makes sense, thanks for letting me know. The magic that JESC used to unlock has been made free through open source solutions. Still... I wonder if the developers of blueJay are aware of any migration issue with JESC settings. Or maybe this is just a unique issue with Mobula 6. 🤷🏻♂️
