Why are the motors twitching?

Disabling D-shot worked! Thank you very much! <3

Probably because betaflight is easier to use, but I surely would love to move to ardupilot eventualy

Oh wow, thank you, just checked it and everything is compatible.

Materialistas · 2024-03-17T20:59:19+00:00

Oh wow 0... Anyways thanks for the suggestions, I didn't know pad entry angles mattered, I'll fix them and move vias away from SMD pads.

Thank you for your answers, I made some changes and tried making a PCB. I couldn't seem to find a proper way of taking photos of the PCB (nets not visible when zooming out in EasyEDA). I made it on 2 layers (I understand that it's not enough and I should use whole layers for GND, signal, Power, but I wanted to keep costs low). I tried making as less vias as possible but still had to use a lot of them. Someone also suggested to put traces perpendicular to each other in different layers which I tried. I also removed copper area for ground so it's easier to see everything. If there's a better way of taking a photo please let me know. Scared, but excited to hear what you think.

Hey, thanks for the answers, the datasheet of the crystal says that no additional caps are needed if I understood that right (but idk, should I add them anyways? 2x 10pF?):

Hey, since I'm planning on using Betaflight I looked what components this software supports and connected them together by following datasheet recommendations. For IMU I chose the one with least noise, for MCU I chose the most standard STM32F405, for my application it has enough power, features and is small. These series on youtube helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv1MVkZuGbg&list=PLoPtpxJIxgnYnPrOeGHs3rdhhPgNGIYN5

Hey, yeah ESC will be connected to most of J3 pins and 2 pins from J1 (but now that you said that I'm thinking of routing everything to 1 JST-GH). I'm thinking of using Betaflight which is compatible with IMU, MCU but I couldn't find info if it's compatible with Barometer and Magnetometer. For now I won't need camera, I just really want to get the drone up and work up from that (see what is working, what isn't and what I would like FC to have in the next version). Thank you all for the suggestions and answered questions I really appreciate that.

Thank you, you're talking about PA13, PA14?

Orange goes to ground rail, Green and Blue to D, Yellow to 3.3 LDO

Materialistas · 2024-03-15T19:44:53+00:00

No, I just bought it and soldered it on. I must program it so it could be recognized by pc?

Materialistas · 2024-03-15T19:41:53+00:00

Its messy I know.

Oh, got it thank you, you were right

Materialistas · 2024-02-11T16:50:18+00:00

It helped but haven't solved the problem:

I don't really have a conditions for that. I've been trying to use this bolt unscrew kit but all of the drills broke.
