Drone Setup
Prior to connecting the modules to your drone, open the IQ Control Center to initialize (see section 3)
–
Set appropriate module settings using the pre-made settings at the top of the IQ Control Center
General tab (see section 11) or set your own
–
Set module direction (this includes both CW vs. CCW and 2D vs. 3D mode)
–
Set FC mode (2D vs. 3D). If FC is using dshot and in 3D mode, set this value to 3D. Otherwise
set this to 2D.
–
If necessary, set motor PID gains in the Tuning tab.
In most cases, the default values are
satisfactory.
Configure your flight controller to be compatible with IQ modules
–
Open your flight controller’s user interface
–
Enable Air Mode
*
This prevents the motor from shutting off at minimum throttle
*
WARNING: you may see integrator wind up when the vehicle is on the ground depending on
your FC and settings
–
Lower motor idle throttle (optional)
*
IQ motors do not require an idle throttle value
*
If you set this to 0, the motors will not spin when the FC is armed
–
Change other FC settings as you would normally
Fasten the modules to your drone’s frame with mounting screws provided. WARNING: using mounting
screws that are too long will damage the motor. See the datasheet for details.
Solder/plug in the power wires to the power distribution board
Solder/plug in the communication wires to the flight controller
When using an analog protocol (1-2ms standard, OneShot125, OneShot42, MultiShot) you will need
to calibrate the ESCs. See your FC’s instructions for the procedure.
Arming Procedure
–
If this is your first time setting up the vehicle, do this without props to test motor settings
–
Arm your FC normally
–
The motors will only arm once throttle is in the appropriate place
*
2D mode - motors arm at minimum throttle (throttle stick all the way down)
*
3D mode - motors arm at mid throttle (throttle stick in the middle)
–
The motors will play the arming tune and spin slowly
–
Once you’ve tested motor settings, disarm your FC
Add the propellers (see section 5)
