The Do's and Dont's of Getting a BNF | Mobula 6 2024 Edition

[@kurtzFPV]

I really appreciate this video. I think it solved my problem with the Mob6 2024. I had not done any soldering or firmware changes outside of changing the orientation of the battery connector.The quad was having failsafe/brownouts right after takeoff and resetting the vtx to 0 power multiple times. I decided to make one change at a time, and the first thing I did was go to status and identify which gyro I had. I had the one with the 3.2kHz update frequency and I changed the PID loop frequency from 0.8 kHz to 3.2 to match. This seems to have solved the issue. After two batteries of no issues, I also added the Karate tune preset, which made it fly even better. I've flown 5 more batteries since with no issues and will fly more later today. This is my first high kv whoop, and I am loving it now. Your video saved me a ton of frustration. Thanks again.

[@sticky_ricebowl]

I'm glad my video was able to help you my guy! sucks that were experiencing these issues with these AIOs but it's good to see that there is still a chance to get it fixed. Hope happymodel also acknowledges this and make appropriate changes. Also, I think that mindset of only changing a few things at a time is great and most of us (including myself 😅) should adopt that habit too. Glad I could help! and thanks for watching!

@@shogunemperor thanks! I just think its good to get others opinions too especially from people who are more familiar with these things! yeah I actually 100% agree with this newer frame being better - personally also like that the battery tray holds batteries so much better.

[@sticky_ricebowl]

I'm glad I could help! I actually talked to several pilots in reddit and some have suggested that I go to BF 4.5 and reapply the diff on HM website. I haven't tried it since I'm a little busy with some things but a few have had good luck with that! As for my own personal PID tune, still stuck on what I have here since - seems like every time I push PIDs too far, I start getting reboots

@@sticky_ricebowl So I cranked up the PID loop frequency and it doesnt reboot midflight anymore. Now I have a different problem. When I startup it just goes crazy and reboots several times when I try to fly. I have to wait a bit before I start flying so that doesnt happen. I wait a bit and than it doesnt happen when I take off. Do you have an Idea what could be causing that?

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@Sprote1 it could be overloading the processing a little but given that you're now at a higher pid loop freq. Have you applied the other settings I've changed?

[@Sprote1]

​@@sticky_ricebowl I only changed the pid loop frequency. With Pid Tuning and everything I still wanna wait a bit. Im currently Watching Bardwells series where He explains Betaflight so I wanna learn everything about Betaflight so im going through that. But my DShot was already at 300 and the other setting where the Same from mine. But the Pid loop frequency seems to have fixed All my Problems. I havent had a reboot for 7 Batteries and it is only a bit weird in the beginning. But this has also calmed down a little bit and I can Deal with that. So again thank you really much flying is fun again and Im grinding again on my journey of FPV. It is a lot to learn but its also kinda fun. Keep up the good work man. The Intro Song is btw a banger. Have a nice day.

Great video! May i ask what is this little monitor thingy that you have in front of the keyboard? love gadgets like these :)

[@sticky_ricebowl]

and thanks for watching! ohh the white flat thing with a screen? that's my DIY fpv monitor (from my first box style goggles that I disassembled). Pretty useful during diagnostics or especially showing others my view while I fly.

​@@sticky_ricebowl I see, thanks! That does sound like it might be worth another video 😊

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@eyeflytinkerings I'll consider it! a few have asked about it tho my issue is that the circuit board is different per brand/goggle...but I'll look into that! maybe I can find a small display and find a cheap video receiver so it's not dependent on goggle guts

[@terryokada]

Thank you for sharing. At 4:45, this is exactly what was happening to my Mobula6 2024. So, was that the solution for it? Re-soldering the pigtail?

[@sticky_ricebowl]

I think it was because of something regarding filtering and Pids since it was "solved" when I set PID loop freq to 3.2 khz and having my filtering and pids set as shown in the video. I think it's "solved" cause playing around with the master slider (increasing it beyond 1.1) increased the chances of the whoop randomly rebooting. feel free to try my backup file but yeah - be careful. in some of the links I've included in the description, someone suggested a faulty regulator but I noticed I would get random reboots even in the start of the flight so I'm not sure if that's what I had.

agreed man, it's annoying and at that point, it would've been easier to build a custom whoop. Thanks for watching fam!

[@Trippydozer]

Hey man is there any tune you recommend? Just got mine today and loving it except it’s just a tad jumpy sometimes and I might try some expo first but my thing is when getting out of power loops around my room or a matty it can be a bit tricky getting out of it sometimes but again could just be bad piloting since I’m mostly used to outdoors😅

[@sticky_ricebowl]

I agree the tune is a little off and the other reviewers did mention that too so it's not just a new batch issue. I know Nick burns is using the karate whoop preset (or smth like that forgot the name) and Infinity Loops went straight to quicksilver

[@Trippydozer]

@@sticky_ricebowl yeah I just tested out the karate tune out and I can feel some difference But id like to test it in a tighter area tomorrow hopefully to try pushing my limits. Was also texting with infinity loops thru his discord and he’s also running the karate tune he was helping me thru it getting it set up which was awsome

so far, reflashing (firmware shown in 4:21) and changing the settings shown in 6:28. thanks man I appreciate it! hope it works but please make sure you've done the things I've mentioned in this video like making a backup...never know what could happen yknow

[@matt_mega]

Have you heard about the motor noise issue in the video signal of some mob6 2024? There are white diagonal lines in the picture when the motors are running. It is very annoying and I am desperately searching for a solution. As it seems your model was not affected. Do you have any idea what could be the reason for that or a hint where I could find other users for discussing this issue? Thanks!

[@sticky_ricebowl]

my model actually has it too 😅 I think the dvr kinda has lower resolution but it's very obvious on my fatsharks. I did manage to lessen it a bit using the settings I have but it seems to be caused by some other issue. Some have also suggested replacing the camera but that has mixed results. I'm just at a point that I don't want to tamper it anymore 😂 while it's flying well

[@matt_mega]

@@sticky_ricebowl What do you mean by replacing the camera has mixed results? Has anybody tried it, if with a different camera the noise lines are still present? I ordered a caddx ant lite and hope that this will help. The original camera of mob6 2024 is a nightmare anyhow. :-(

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@matt_mega I personally have changed between the runcam nano 3 and the 199c cameras and I still get those lines. However some other pilots say changing cameras fixes it. side note, not sure if you want to use the caddx ant lite for this since its a fairly large camera compared to other whoop cameras - essentially gonna take the bulk of inverted crashes and is a little heavier.

[@matt_mega]

@@sticky_ricebowl Have you tried to shorten the camera wires as much as possible? Besides that a small capacitor on the power lines of the camera either on the aio side or on cam-board side could help as well. I will test this when I got my ant lite and the problem still persists. Is the ant lite really so much larger? The diameter of the lense cover and the size of the board seem to be the same. Weight is almost the same or even less then from the original cam fx17-b .

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@matt_megaI did not try to shorten the wires as mine already has short wires and I don't want to stress those wires when I disassemble this. I also don't want to modify anything with the circuit given that a. this is a bnf that shouldn't be tampered with that much b. I don't want to risk it (as mentioned in my video) and c. I don't really mind the lines at this point - as long as she flies fine and those lines are minimal. my ant lite is coming at 1.6g without any wires or connector. You're right, compared to the 2024's camera they're the same size but you will need a diff canopy. idk, I'd prefer the 199c, pinch cam, or the betafpv c03. any of the smaller lighter cams

[@Fos-ti2yt]

Dude my hdz 2024 was great but then the receiver started having issues that I couldn’t troubleshoot, saw you were having similar issues, anything in particular that you think fixed it?

[@sticky_ricebowl]

I kinda wanna be honest, I tried a bunch of things and I don't know which one fixed it lmao. I think you can start with verifying that you're getting good signal when the drone is stationary and the controller is close by (check rssi LQ and dBm). You can also try messing around with packet rates in the lua script.

[@MrDfsafdsafds]

I'm having the same problem with rebooting. I tried changing the PID but no improvement

[@sticky_ricebowl]

have you tried changing PID loop freq to 3.2 khz? that's what made the most difference to me....unless your issue falls within the other issues in the links I've provided in the description

[@Dmytro_99]

Received 2 of such mob6 and both have noise when you arm motors. When you disarm picture clear. Tried to solder runcam nano3, same issue. Very dissapointed with quality.

[@chorchecze]

Have noise in video after koderate crash. Resolder everything, try different camera. No luck.

[@sticky_ricebowl]

same here I had higher hopes for this one but I think it's a matter of the aio. Gonna try to use this camera on a different drone

​@@chorcheczeseems like happymodel has a lot of things to fix. We're gonna have to wait a little longer for this to be a viable whoop

Same. Noisy video on arming. Seems to be an established pattern here. Anyone found fixes?

[@gtc7160]

How did you manage to change the gyro update frequency? My 2024 came with BF 4.4.2 and the frequency is automatically locked. That is a new feature of BF. Mine is locked at 8.00 KHz

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@gtc7160 I believe gyro is locked but the PID tune is what I changed. Also, you may have a different superx version/gyro cause it's locked at 3.2 for mine (I believe mine is superx V1.0)

[@gtc7160]

@@sticky_ricebowl I do believe we have the same board. I checked your backup file. Mine is version 1 also. The manufacturing date is probably different. In your video you are flying very quickly. Not mine. Maybe they swapped in a gyro which isn't doing so well. I see yours is locked as well. The number underneath (PID loop freq) should be at 1.6 according to BF. It is supposed to be half of the gyro freq. I have a Mobula7 1s with ELRS and out of the box it worked just fine. I have a Tiny Hawk I & III. The 7 is a breath of fresh air compared to them. I have a small space to fly so was hoping the 6 would be even better. I found a place which still has a regular Mobula6 with frsky even. So hopefully it will be more NORMAL

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@gtc7160 can you go to cli and type status? perhaps we do have a different gyro. Mine says BMI270

[@Sugar_K]

Never use dump from the cli.. use a diff all. A dump can over right hardware settings while a diff is only things that are different from stock. Dump can be unsafe if you don’t know what your doing. I’m a BF dev and wouldn’t use dump for a backup 😅

[@sticky_ricebowl]

hmmm but wouldn't using happymodel's actual dump from their website be exactly what the settings should be? also, may I ask if saving a preset counts as diff or dump

[@Sugar_K]

Prolly a diff.. preset save is a diff.. it’s 100% what you should use

8:08 - Motor poles 12 goes for this specific drone or ? how exactly does it work?

[@sticky_ricebowl]

It's specific to the motors and you can actually count the number of poles on the motors, but it's a standard for whoop motors to have 12 poles

[@Braincho]

@@sticky_ricebowl Are poles - magnets? Was a general question. So I just look at my motors and make sure in betaflight in this section the amount is correct?

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@Braincho yupp betaflight actually states it as number of magnets if you check the motors tab. Most times you dont have to check as motor sizes usually have a standard number of motor poles. I believe smaller motors like for whoops have less poles mainly cause of the limitations of manufacturing at this scale

How did you get the mid air death to stop? I have the same issue with myne dying mid flight

I changed my betaflight settings entirely. I changed PID loop freq to 3.2 khz which helped alot then I changed my PIDs and filtering to what you see in the video. I'm still playing around with settings but it's working well so far and I have not had random reboots. though take in mind the things I've mentioned in the vid and make backups before making any changes

[@jeffmcclain]

@@sticky_ricebowl I think you should not have to reduce it if your system utilization isn't too high??? Not saying this isn't a great fix, just seems odd. I would expect that FC to handle 4khz easy and possibly 8khz if you don't have a lot of filters and other things running. I mean MSP plus one serial is all it is running.

[@sticky_ricebowl]

@@jeffmcclain the original was PID loop freq was at 1.6 khz actually and the highest you can go on this fc is 3.2 khz which is why I went to that. Now that I think of it, weird how the superbee f4 can do 8K

Heads on infinity loops flys it on quicksilver makes it more locked in

[@Oldemonium]

@@sticky_ricebowl it seems like they had a hard time in production ! I just received mine without any antenna, manage to plug a TBS unify pro, But now the reception is all black & white, and after a minute there is a reception degradation until I only see snow. Plus the board is getting really hot on the FC... They promised a lot but failed to keep up the production.. How does yours hold ?

My VTX went out after a crash, I replaced with a zues nano, but now I can’t get it to connect to my controller when it was already binded before? Can’t get to go into WiFi or anything. tried dump from HM and re flashing. But no avail. Think the board is just toast at this point

[@sticky_ricebowl]

if the Vtx wasn't connected, would rx go back? I also want to ask if the Vtx was set to it's max cause that vtx is probably more towards toothpicks and larger drones and may be using up your entire 5v rail

I also have video noise the same as yours after I arm my Mobula6 2024. I didn't see this problem when I watched the reviews on KZbin. Are we getting a lower quality product when we buy this drone? My drone can reboot after a hard landing. And it reboots twice in the air during a calm flight.

[@sticky_ricebowl]

Exactly! and atleast from my own testing, changing some betaflight settings also affected it. Though I don't know which ones. I hate to say it but it's possible. Especially since they're probably rushing with so many pre orders. Carefully try my settings. Idk if it'll help and I can't guarantee if it'll work but I've crashed mine tons and have reached voltages around 2.9v without those reboots occurring so far. so from my own understanding, it's not a regulator issue, but it could be either a software issue or qc issue. idk yet which one.

@@jayzzz1234ok it’s more of a big drone thing but have you thought about soldering a small capacitor on to where the pigtail attaches to the board? It made a huge difference in my 5” drone, maybe would help here too?

[@Dmytro_99]

Did you find the way to fix this issue? This all in one looks so promising but the issue with noise dissapoit me a lot

[@rubberonasphalt]

If it was just video noise, I'd say it could be the antenna. You may want to re-seat the antenna, or try another. Also worth trying setting video to Raceband 8, if you're not already on it. But rebooting after a crash sounds more like a board or power connector issue. Check if the battery connector's solder joints look normal, if it does, then I'd probably try to contact seller for a replacement/ refund

[@jeffmcclain]

I'm not sure I understand what was the root problem of it dropping out of the sky and rebooting or not saving/using your custom rates????? Nothing you were doing looked wrong or seemed to be unreasonable on expectations. I'm now wondering if you have bad/buggy hardware or what? Please let us know! Sorry for your frustration with this model!

[@sticky_ricebowl]

Im unsure too sadly. This is just what worked for me and changing betaflight settings completely to a custom one was my only solution as of right now. It does seem weird since the things I did was what I've been doing for other BNFs I've had in the past but I think it's just that this hardware is so new that it's likely a mixture of qc issue and software issues - based on a number of responses here. It's flying well right now so atleast there is that. No worries!

[@DronePsyche]

Return of it doesn't work out of box next time. Unacceptable to have to troubleshoot something that is brand new. It's called defective

This is a rushed, broken product. I'm convinced the first wave of reviewers got a quality controlled batch. If this was my first quad, I'd be tempted to blame myself. But I was extremely careful with it, no crashes and no major changes. I added flight modes, flew it stock settings for 5 minutes and the camera is dead.

Sucks that we get this kind of product given how much hype was behind it and the fact that it honestly had the potential to be a pretty great bnf. Have you tried returning it? or talking to the person you bought it from
