Problems?

Can´t start the

motors/propellers

Motor starts, but

can´t lift off

• Is the micro:bit on the drone receiving the

radio signal? The dots on the screen should

move when you move the remote. Check

and re-upload code for transmitter and

receiver. Make sure they are on the same

radio channel. You can try with ready made

code for both transmitter and receiver."

• On the drone, is the control board and the

microbit connected? If the text say “No

Gyro” or “No Motor controller”, the

connection is not stable: thighten the nuts.

Disconnect / reconnect battery. Look for the

letters G and M during startup.

Have you placed the correct propeller on

the right motor? (Page 23)

Are all the motors working and spinning?

Can there be a damaged motor?

Have you placed the drone the proper way

and given enough throttle? You need about

50-60% to lift off. See page 52.

Is the battery charged

and is there a

green light?

Place drone ﬂat on ground, connect battery, wait until “C” (calibrating) is done.

Press A+B on remote and release quickly. Press a couple of times and watch

the propellers closely to see if they starts and stops to spin.
