Are you pushing the props on this one, or using adapters of some sort?

cheers,

Have been using the collet adapters that came with the motors. Making them fit on props with 3mm.

Have also used these: http://www.leaderhobby.com/product.asp?ID=9394001226924

I would disconnect all the cables between your KK2 & RX. Then connect only 1. Put it on the throttle channel, and test it to see if just the 1 channel receives signal.

I would also check to make sure you do not have CPPM enabled.

Please double check the RX ground connections. On my Futaba Orange RX the ground connection is located on the channel label side. If that is the case on your RX, it looks like all your RX connections are turned upside down.

NOTE! Don't change it unless you are 100% sure!

Please help me

Bind the receiver to the transmitter
Turn on the DX6i and then wait 5 seconds
Power on the KK2 (quad)
Perform the receiver test
Perform the acc/gyro calibration
Etc.

With the DX6i and the OrangeRx, the transmitter needs to be powered on first.

They're correct for the DX6i OrangeRX. The ground cable (brown/black) is opposite the channel label and the signal (orange/white) is closest to the channel label.

Thanks all done. I just click in restore default and everything just start working. Thanks.
What is CPPM?

Google CPPM.

i was waiting a more simple explanation

OHHHH Is like s-bus. Ok now i understand

Nice job! You're handling it very well.

Thanks it's a hand full

Success! First flight of my tricopter tonight :-). Pretty tentative because it was in a small pool of light in a small dark back garden. Need to make some skids to get it off the ground a bit too. Also first successful flight with my old Airtronics Vision radio that I converted to 2.4Ghz using the FrSky DIY module. Can't wait to try it tomorrow with more space.

Many thanks to everyone here, because I followed all your experiences the KK2 setup was pretty straight forward. Just used the receiver test to get things going in the right direction, had to reverse the yaw channel, and that's about it. Lots of bizzare tones during the ESC calibration, but they seem to be working. Using the 1.2 Firmware with all stock settings right now. Have the tail prop spinning opposite to the "official" directions just because I didn't have a reverse orange prop.

The tail lifts first, despite being tail heavy if anything, but a touch of pitch to correct and all is good.

I am also really glad I got the little v929 quad to fly first, it was a good trainer.

Components heavily influenced by hallstudio (big thanks). RCtimer 2830-8 1300kv motors, GWS 8x4 props, f20A ESC's (stock fw for now, will flash soon ... just wanted to see the difference), 2200 3S battery. RCexplorer yaw mount using the nose gear mounts.

cheers,
Andrew

for Mr KK: this post could be on you Q&A?

like some other here,I get a bad batch of LCD....

I find a cheap alternative to the JHD12864-COG06B stock LCD on ebay,this is the JHD508:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/Graphic-COG-LCD-M...item2c5117cd57

not the same plug,not the same pins but it work!!

you need a 0.8mm iron tip for doing this job and have solid experience in micro work.

it is not a newbie job!!!

first you have to prepare the JHD508 with 0.12 to 0.2mm insulated wire:

(note the way pins goes 1 to 21,also you have to remove 2 small corner of the plexi with cuter on the stock back light piece to properly install the JHD508 on it,I also glue(both side) the ribbon to the LCD)

then joint it to the KK PCB using this:

(note that it is the JHD12864-COG06B pins on KK board)


(JHD12864-COG06B pins(on KK board) to JHD508 pins)


I decided to test it without the pin 8 cap and.....it work!!!

done:


note that pin 2 and 8 of JHD508 are not connected(don't forget to jump it).

final test


with back light


enjoy
