Q500 Multiple issues

[WTFDproject]

So any way of fixing it with out putting more money in

One on blue flashing lights I can put it back flat then tilt forward to go to binding and all and on laptop everything checked right

Can you bind to the controller now?

I'm still waiting on the new remote control. The one it came with I can't get the settings button to work only the volume works on the screen

 

[Darren88]

I don't know if that is what a bricked remote control does but I can't get it to do anything

You never explained which settings buttons work and which do not. Do any of these settings buttons work?

 

[Darren88]

No

 

[Darren88]

I clicked all over the screen even on them 2

 

[WTFDproject]

No

Sounds like a dead touchscreen instead of a brick. But not much more useful. I don't know of any practical way to revive it.

 

[Darren88]

Okay thanks I guess I will just wait for the new remote control and go from there

Could it be because I'm in a travel trailer messing it up?

The Z-value of your accelerometer is too high it should be around 1.000G instead of ~1.200 when the drone stands on table.
The z-axis is perpendicular to the earth thus it should be 1G. Magnitude is the sum of X, Y and Z axis and should be always around 1.000G no matter in which position the drone is.
This means depending on temperature drift the out-of-range problem may happen again from time to time.
Try a accelerometer calibration and check if it comes near to 1.000.

 

[Darren88]

It wasn't a level surface. I was doing it in bed on the box

 

[Darren88]

Could that be the reason

 

[h-elsner]

Could that be the reason

No.

I got it flying. Thanks for your help

I got it flying. Thanks for your help

Good job. But what was the final verdict on the cause?

 

[Darren88]

I don't know I still have to turn it on the side and all when I turn the drone on. And on the second flight the battery swelled up and the engine's were all warm

 

[Darren88]

Might of all happened because I flew it out in 100degree weather maybe. But other than that it seemed to fly pretty good. Took it up to a 1000ft then back down to 200 ft and flew it around. All functions are good. Don't know about the home or smart functions yet but in angle mode it flew great

Did you try the accelerometer calibration?

 

[Darren88]

Not yet

 

[Darren88]

Is that were you do it on a computer

Is that were you do it on a computer

No. It's on the controller.

1.) Place the drone on a flat surface that won't move or shake.
2.) Turn on drone and controller.
3.) Press the Settings Icon near the lower right of the screen. (It looks sort of like a gear.)
4.) Press "OK" to the warning that pops up.
5.) Press "Calibration"
6.) Press "Accelerometer"
7.) Wait for the calibration to run its course. It should only take about 10 or 12 seconds or so. You will hear lots of happy sounding beeps and the beeps for starting back up. Wait for the drone to come back to its normal acquiring/ready state.
8.) Press the return key to return to the normal flight screen.

Then restart both drone and controller to see if it helped anything.
