Troubleshooting E58

Common Issue 1:

Motors move at different speeds as per below video

Credits : 65drones customer

 

Solution: Calibrate the E58.

It is good practice to calibrate the E58 , before every usage ,or when it suffered any previous " crashes" 

Note : Please place E58 on a flat ground before you calibrate .

How to calibrate E58

You can reset the Eachine E58’s gyro settings in two different ways, either using the remote control or through the JY UFO phone APP.

Calibrating the Eachine E58 by remote controller

  • Step 1: Turn on the remote controller;
  • Step 2: Long press the power switch to turn ON the Eachine E58;
  • Step 3: Place the drone on a horizontal surface;
  • Step 4: Bind the transmitter with the drone by pushing the throttle stick to the highest position, and then pull it back to the lowest position. Solid light will indicate successful bind;
  • Final step: Move both sticks to lowest right corner (like in the image above) for about 2-3 seconds. LED lights will start to flash rapidly. Wait few seconds till the lights are solid again and you are done.

Calibrating the Eachine E58 by phone APP

Calibrating the Eachine E58 through APP is even more easier. After you connected to drone with your phone. You need to enter the settings menu (like in the image bellow) and select the “Gyro calibrate” icon. First, the LEDs will start to flash rapidly, than steady on. Finish! That was all, you are done and ready for your next flight 🙂

 

Common Issue 2: After changing the propellers,the E58 is not able to fly up/fly sideway/fly in circle.

Solution: Check that the propeller alphabet matches picture ( as per page 2 of your instruction manual).

 

Common Issue 3: Loss of Power and connection while mid flight or upon take off

Solution : If you are using wifi to fly the E58 , ensure wifi connection is strong before you go ahead. We suggest to use the remote controller to control the E58 and using the wifi to fly it fpv.

If you are using the controller to fly the E58 and there is loss of power and connection,check that battery is securely inserted in.

* The " clasp" as circled should be fully inserted into the drone, leaving onlythe horizontal markings visible at the exterior.

If inserted properly,It should look linear at the front of the E58.

 Common Issue 4: I am able to start the drone but I do not know how to move the drone in different directions.

Solution : After pairing the drone and launching it successfully in the air,move the control sticks according to the labels below.

Please note that the front of the E58 is the front with the camera ,from the E58 perspective.  If you want to fly it in your perspective, activate the headless mode.

Common Issue 5: After a few " crashes", one or more of the motors are dead.

Definition of dead motor: There is no movement on the propeller.

Solution: E58 is a solderless quadcopter which works on a simple plug and play system. You have to unscrew the E58, remove the dead motor and insert a new motor. No special equipment such as soldering gun is required.  You will need a screwdriver to unscrew .

Picture above showing removal of faulty motor.

 

 

Plug in the new motor and screw back the exterior.

 

Common Issue 6: After calibration, my e58 is still not able to fly perfectly straight, even in low winds conditions.

Solution : After pairing the E58,please trim the E58, according to the picture below. Page 4 of instruction manual.

In short, if the quad drifts to the right, u tune to the left and vice versa according to the direction it drifts.

 

Still can't get it to work?

Hi, just purchased the e58, I can’t seem to get the controller to work the drone, I can use the app to fly it but want to use the controller. Any ideas?

Hi E58 user,

It is a flight controller ( circuit board at the centre connecting the motors ) problem.
You can try replacing the flight controller

Only one prop/motor goes on as soon as I plug battery in. It can’t be shut off unless I remove battery again. Non le of the other motor/props go on at all. Have you experienced this issue before?

Hi David,

Can you try it on IOS phone?

Recently, E58 have not been working well on android phones . Previously it is fine. Probably have to give the developer some time to update.

I crashed my e58 into water. It did not fully submerge and I immediately unplucked the battery and dried it out. All works fine except I cannot see the WiFi hotspot now

Hi Nick,

Are you using android phone? The issue doesn’t occur for IOS phones. try updating your phone, delete and download the JY UFO app again. Or download Eachinefly app.

On the phone app, there is some Chinese writing that I can not get off the screen. Don’t know how it got there or what it says.

Hi Novian,

Are you referring to the propeller shaft which is broken after crash?
To remove landing gear, it is just plugging it out and inserting a new one. You can purchase the landing gear at
https://www.65drones.com/collections/fun-fly-spare-parts/products/e58-landing-skid-set

If it is the entire " leg" that is spoilt, you can purchase the entire " leg" and screw it back .

Hi ChampMTL,

please calibrate the e58 and see whether problem exist again

My Eachine E58 crashed and the rear landing gear was broken, but I still don’t understand how to remove the damage landing gear to replace to a new one. Can you help me, step by step replacement for landing gear (rear) ? Thanks

65 Drones

I plug in the battery and one motor runs without even turning it on why is it doing this. It’s brand new out the box.

Hi Macro,

Have u calibrated the E58?

You might need to replace the parts of the E58 which are affected by the crash. If it is not balanced, it will not fly properly.

Hi. After only a few minor crashes my e58 cant’t fly with the landing gear on . Motors start running but the drone takes of and maintains very unstable at 30cm from the ground and finally falls .
Accidentally one of the frontal landing gear felt of and I noted that the drone was able to take of normally . Since then when I put the landing gear in place the dron can’t take of . Any suggestions? The bottom of the drone stats to be scratched very near from the camera lens. Thanks !!!
