Motors Shut Off When Rolling

I have 2 quads setup identical as far as I can tell. One rolls great. When I try to roll the other quad, the motors shut off completely as it goes inverted. I have to cut, then punch the throttle to restart the motors and recover. I don't see anything different in the settings. What am I missing?

Check the tab that you can set flight modes. (Sounds like maybe cruise control on throttle) maybe. And check the expert tab in stabilization page and look at the cruise control settings. But I could be totally wrong. Hopefully somebody else will chime in that has more knowledge
What mode are you rolling in. Rattitude, rate or acro+?

In this mode I'm using rattitude, ratttitude, rates and I believe throttle is set to manual but I'll go in and check that. Thanks.

I'm not really sure because I don't use it. But I'll tell you a way to solve it. I run an idle up switch. So my motors never stop even at the lowest stick position. By putting it on a Switch it makes it so you can have your motors on or off after you arm.

Morning, I was having a similar issue and after checking it good I realized that my lemon RX was making contact with the Carbon fibre above it. Basicly the carbon fibre is conductive and it would shut off. Fly it calmly absolutly no issue. The mounting had come loose in a crash and upside down it would move. Just a thought and it might not have anything to do with your problem. I run a throttle hold as well. Throttle off is set to 7% which is the lowest point blade turn smothly.

Maybe I'll try an idle up setting. I just don't understand why the tweaker 180 works fine and the other 2 quads don't. Someone else mentioned the programming in the ESCs but since I know nothing of that, I'll have to do some research.

After further research it doesn't have anything to do with rolling or flipping. Anytime I push the control stick full travel, the motors shut off. Pitch, yaw or roll and any flight mode i'm in. If I let the stick off just a bit the motors start right up. Something seems to be stopping the quad from going to full rates. I've tried it in attitude, rattitude and rates. Is there some setting in Libre Pilot that is stopping me from going 100%

Please name your AUW, motor manufacturer and numbers, ESC rating, prop dimensions, and battery cells, mAh and C.

Looks really strange, please post your config file.
File > Export UAV settings
So full Yaw while hovering stop motors ?
Thanks,
Laurent

Yaw, pitch or roll. Any full travel movement with the control stick will cut the motors.

Not quite sure how to do that. I exported the file to my download folder but it saves it as a file with the extension .uav and I don't seem to be able to open it. (Sorry, I fairly new at this.)

I don't ask you for open the config file but post here.
Just bellow the area where you are typing the message there is an option for file attachment.

I fixed the problem. I cleared everything out last night and went through the entire setup again. I have the exact same settings and today I took it out and it rolls and flips like a champ. The problem is gone. I'm suspecting it was either a glitch in the programming or possibly the transmitter calibration.

You need to connect the CC3D to computer prior to export settings.
