Board only powers up if plugged in after drone is done booting #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. plug board into usb port
2. power up drone
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? expect to see board power 
up. No power to board 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ardu.Drone RC V0.2.1, Drone 1.3.3

Please provide any additional information below.
If I wait for the drone to boot (green LED's) then plug in the board to the USB 
port, the board gets power, but still the drone does not respond to the takeoff 
command. Also, after this I get many motor failure notifications.
I have built a new cable, rechecked all file transfers and drone file 
modifications.

Thanks.

It seems this is a problem with a defective motor esc!?
