Yesterday I upgraded all the firmware and charged the two batteries. Today I went out for a flight. Landed it after twenty minutes. Stopped the motors. Changed the battery, and now I am unable to restart the motors. The LEDs blink green and when I try to start the motors they blink red

Does that happen with more than one battery inserted?

Kind of weird that was the solution. I will find out more tomorrow. I only started the motors after recalibration

I'm glad you got it running again.

I'm sure you'll figure it out all by yourself. Good luck to you.

Do you have more than one battery?   Because that is what he was asking.  Does it happen with ALL your batteries or just one?

Resorting to name calling will get you zero around here.  There was absolutely no reason for that.  If you did not understand what he was asking, better to keep your keyboard silent.

Good luck in the future.

A flippant answer deserves a stupid response. I have two batteries. When I put the second one in the motors would not start

You still have no clue as to what you did.  Your first post you said you updated but didn't do any calibrations.  That was your first mistake.  Read up on how this machine works grasshopper and you might avoid a crash in the future.

Good point Master Po. It is odd it fired up one time after the firmware updates and not after a battery change
