TROUBLE SHOOTING
TESTING YOUR ANAKIN CLUB RACER ARMING
PROCESS WORKS
Ensure that your propellers are not yet connected to your Anakin Club Racer, Insert your Battery into the
battery bay and secure tightly with a strap. Turn on your Radio Transmitter. Make sure that your Anakin
Club Racer is in a safe position with nothing close by that could be damaged when you start the motors.
Ensure that your throttle stick is in the lowest position, Connect the Anakin Club Racer battery, then
push the stick, ensure that your throttle stick is in the lowest position and then push the stick which you
have configured earlier to arm your Anakin Club Racer.
If your Anakin Club Racer will not respond to your “Arming” start sequence, then you should re-connect
the usb cable, restart the OpenPilot software and check that on the Configuration -> Input -> Arming
Settings screen, a valid option has been selected and click the Save button.
If you find that any motors are “twitching” or turning when you have not yet initiated your Arming
sequence, this could indicate one of several things:
1. ESC has not been properly calibrated during the OpenPilot calibration process
(see “Manually re-calibrating your ESCs” below)
2. Faulty motor (try replacing the motor)
3. Faulty ESC (try replacing the ESC)
4. Bad soldering connection between your motor and its ESC or ESC and PDB
(resolder the connections)
5. Motor mount screws are too long and have been screwed too far into the base of your motors
(use correct length screws with a new motor)
