Unable to Arm the QQ190 after a small crash
Hello, I had my QQ190 out today and a very minor crash and dumped it in the long grass. since then I have been unable to arm the quad via the usual switch.
The whole quad checks out ok on the start-up self check splash screen. In beta flight I’m able to spin up all the motors and see all the stick and switch movement from the TX. Everything looks good in software and hardware even after a recalibration and firmware re-flash I just cant arm. Any tips as I am completely stuck for ideas at the moment.
Thanks
Andy
Most likely you have a dead accelerometer. You can check the sensors tab .they should all move when the quad moves. Your account hardware is set to auto “set acc_hardware = AUTO” so it sounds like it’s not detecting the accelerometer. You can replace the colibri with minimal effort. We have them in stock in Denver .
You will also want to pickup the special install tool available here:
Hi Anthony,
thanks for the advice, i tried resetting everything i betaflight and it looked like it was doing something. I then physically moved the craft but there wast any movement of the virtual craft in betaflight. I’m pretty sure something on the flight controller has gotten damaged, would this be a fair assumption?
Thanks
Andy
Hi, here’s the dump form the CLI, am i correct in thinking that everything ACC is to do with the accelerator?

Hi sorry to hear about the trouble. This can happen from time to time. The thing I would try first is to do an accelerometer calibration . The qq190 will not arm in angle mode if the accelerometer is tilted more than 45 degrees. You can do an accelerometer calibration by setting the qq190 RTF on a level surface and while unarmed, hold the left stick up and to the left while simultaneously holding the right stick down and middle. (see the manual on page 39)
You can also do an accurate calibration in betaflight. The key is to make sure that the motors are level when you perform the account calibration so that it hovers well in angle mode after the calibration.
Let me know if that helps .
Well that’s tied to the accelerometer, so can you post a dump? You can do so by going to the command line interface and typing dump and enter. Copy and paste everything that it spits out and post here. If your acc Hardware is turned off in the software that you won’t see the model move
