3.8 Check and Debugging

Warning

The subsequent steps can be implemented only after checking and debugging all the items listed in the chapter below. Besides, the remote control prompts that each state is normal and the aircraft indicator light flashes green.

Tips

It is recommended to set the display image of remote control as video preview mode before taking off.

Check operation condition. Please debug each component to make it operate normally when both remote control prompts abnormality.

It is going to list common calibration items, abnormalities and solutions in the following chapter.

3.8.1 Remote Control Calibration

Caution

If it isn't turned to maximum value end, it may not respond to operation, operation is not smooth, and the aircraft may even explode after calibration.

Note

  • After calibration, view "3.6.5.1 Dashboard", and turn corresponding buttons to confirm if calibration is successful. After successful calibration, each parameter is about 1514. Turning the endpoint, maximum value is 19XX while minimum value is 10XX.
    • The remote control can be normally used about 30s after calibration.

Step 1 Select "Settings > Remote Control Settings> Joystick Calibration".

The system displays "Joystick Calibration" interface, as shown in Figure 3-28.

Step 6 Click "Complete Calibration" after turning the rolling wheels and joysticks.

3.8.2 Accelerometer Calibration

Dahua Technology X650CS - Accelerometer Calibration - 1

Caution

Pay attention to levelness and perpendicularity during calibration. Non-standard posture during calibration will lead to abnormal flight and even explosion.

Select "Settings > General > Other > Accelerometer Calibration" to enter "Accelerometer Calibration" interface, as shown in Figure 3-29.

Accelerometer Calibration Press Calibrate to start IMU calibration. Ensure drone is placed on a FLAT surface before beginning the calibration process. START CALIBRATION

Place the aircraft on a flat surface, and click "Start Calibration".

  • The remote control will prompt "Calibration Success" if it is successfully calibrated.
  • The remote control will prompt "Calibration Failure" if it fails to calibrate. Click "Retry" till it is successfully calibrated.

3.8.3 Initialization Failure

Abnormity Prompt

Remote control prompts "Initialization Failure".

Possible Reasons

After power on and before taking off, it may result in initialization failure if you move the aircraft.

Solutions

Power on the aircraft again after the power is cut off, and keep the aircraft horizontal and static during initialization. Please contact our company if initialization fails for several times.

3.8.4 Geomagnetic Abnormity

Abnormity Prompt

  • Aircraft indicator flashes ● ● ●
  • Remote control prompts "Geomagnetic Abnormity".

Possible Reasons

  • The use position has changed a lot, which means the geographical location is quite far away from the last geographical location where the aircraft is used, causing big change to geomagnetic field.
  • There is another intensive magnetic field or abrupt change in the environment, affecting geomagnetic field.
