Drone doesn't work

[justin-luoma]

The android app doesn't work. Is there a way to actually use this?

The app doesn't work, it will connect, the drone's light flashed green, but doesn't respond to the app.

@justin-luoma Please check your log to see if there are any pre-takeoff check failed or power supply issues

What kind of battery does this drone need?

[livigni]

did you solve somehow?
I am myself struggling with motors not being operated. The esp-drone boots up and motors spins at the self check, but when connecting with mobile app and playing with touch controls nothing happens. I have enabled the "DEBUG_UDP" in config.h of the firmware and I can see that when moving the virtual joystick udp messages are received by the firmware, but still motor do not spin (no voltage a the motors pins, so I don't think is a low capacity battery issue). Any hints?

@justin-luoma
The drone is blocking in I (5200) STAB: Wait for sensor calibration...

It could be that the drone is tilting at an Angle, or is being shaken during sensor calibration (such as being held in the hand), so the calibration cannot pass.

Please place the drone on a stable plane before takeoff.

It would be ready to takeoff after:

I (6478) SENSORS: isBiasValueFound!
I (6479) STAB: Ready to fly.

Hello friends, my esp drone not get action from the app, i can connect to the drone but motors not work

[mqbluesky]

Yes, after the motors are turned on, they start rotating one by one, but no commands are received from the mobile app.

[Vaibhav2012-blk]

Try giving power seperately in my case it was a power issue give the esp 3.3 v or 5v and connect the motors to different power source

[mqbluesky]

The motors are connected to 5V. Have you had a similar problem?

[Vaibhav2012-blk]

Yes in my case it calibrates and i can also able to connect it but whenever i tried to do any thing it restarts or just dosent respont so i used a buck converter and now everything works fine btw if you want you can msg me on my discord ( discord username - vaibhav_59485 )

[mqbluesky]

I already message you on discord.

If anyone has had a similar problem and solved it, please let me know.

Hi,

There are two things you can check here

1. Turn on flight mode on your phone and then connect ot the drone again using wifi, make sure ther is no data connection available for your phone from your mobile network provider
2. I am not sure if you are trying on an iPhone or an Android, but the esp-fly app does not work well in the latest OS versions. So we have built our own mobile app when we ported this project to LiteWing, it will work for all ESP Crazyflie drones. you can try using our app - https://circuitdigest.com/articles/litewing-esp32-drone-gets-new-mobile-app
