Hey fellow forum peeps,
Now, the answer might be so simple that I must have GPS sat lock to start them up, but........... it's -30 up here and I'm working on at this very moment, night time, etc..............
I installed the upgraded antennas for controller and bird from these guys.
http://fpvlr.com/shop/index.php? ... &product_id=112
During the installation of the antennas for the controller board, it got broken, so had to order a new one.
Replaced the existing one, and instead of trying to remove the antenna connectors from the board (black glue of death) this time, I cut and soldered the new antenna lead from the board to the new antenna "cable" for the upgraded antennas, taking care regarding outer and inner wires when soldering together.
Rebound controller to bird, re-calibrated IMU (advanced) calibrated the compas and suppose to be good to go, unfortunately NOT. Everything seems correct, but motors won't start up.
Re-loaded all current firmware on bird and controller (not 3.10) and rebound controller again (just in case) - still motors won't start up.
Now, the vision app has a symbol in bottom right corner - triangle with exclamation mark in it, flashing yellow to red and back, and it stated click for more details, but to no avail, no other information "pops up".
I was hoping that this would tell me something.
Another question, can you fire up the phantom without any GPS satellites, just to verify everything works?, prior to going outside and ensuring GPS sat lock. As you can fly manuallly, so it should fire up, and the LEDs are what they are, am I not correct in this assumption? (my initial statement at the beginning)
Any assistance with my troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Richard
