Greetings

I am getting extremely frustrated with my recently purchased P2 with the Zenmuse gimbal and Hero 4.  When I power on the units the controller rarely connects with the Phantom.  I have tried linking the two units many, many times and only on the odd occassion does this work (light turns green) and usually reverts to a red light in short order.  The Phantom just sits there with rapid yellow lights flashing on the rear wings.

The few times that things did seem to work,  the copter would take off but after a few minutes go into RTH mode and come back, shut down and refuse to start up again.

I have only limited functions in the Assistant software when connected.

Starting to think I may have a controller problem?

Have had it out numerous times and only on a few occassions did it indicate satellite connection and flew properly for a short period of time.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Yep rapid yellow light indicate controller signal lost. You didn't say if this was a used unit, refurbished , new or what? What controller do you have does it use batteries or is it rechargeable through USB.. When you turn on the controller do you get any beeps or lights?When you hook to the assistant can you go to the RC tab and when you move the sticks do you see any responce. Give us a little more info. What the assistance can't see.

Thanks for responding.

This is a brand new unit.  
The controller is latest version with 4 green indicator lights and it does light up and beep when turned on.
When Assistant is hooked to the RC it does not respond to the sticks for calibration or assigning toggle switch action.
When Assistant was hooked to P2 it allowed change to IOC operation.

For the RC you need a different software, Phantom RC Assistant Software v1.2
this can be found here http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2-vision/download
see if it respinds in here.
in order to see if the rc responds to the phantom, use the phantom software.
see if everything works fine, Both are in the latest firmware>
then it should work. you can check if the correct RC mode is activated (new or old RC)
at last, if it connects but you try to turn the engines on and it becomes red blinking. you should open the phantom and check if the GPS cable is plugged in correctly in the Main board

After doing EVERYTHING possible - downloads, recalibration, power cycling, linking - there is still no connection between controller and P2.

On my computer screen all I get is:  "Configuration error, this may cause by firmware upgrade from old version.or abnormal Tx calibration. Re-calibrate your transmitter,and power cycle your controller and check all of the parameters."

HELP!!!!

Can you send a screenshot of your software? to see the firmware version, your rc settings and maybe one of your MC modes. like the range of your compass.
