Hello guys. I have upgraded my A2 firmware to the latest version and I have saw after compass calibration strange behavior on the LED module. Detailed description :

- A2 boots normal
- 9 staellites locked
- LED only purple blink before takeof
- After takeof between the purple blinks there are green and yellow series of blinking !!!
- The aircraft is flying perfect, but all the time there is this green and yellow blinks

The strange thing is that happens only when it flies, never on the ground which will mean abnormal compas data refered to the manual. Also it is first time I am seeing this LED signal, never before.

Please help if you know the reason
1st part - before takeof - everything looks fine
2nd part - in the air - green yellow blink
3rd part - when landed again fine

Hum...thats weird...the Yellow/Green on the A2 indicates Abnormal Compass Data...dont know why you get a home point indication then it goes to abnormal....did you do a compass calibration before flight? Is there a possibility of some interference up there?

Thanks for your reply dennismurry08
Yes, I have made successful compass calibration just before the flight there. This place is aroung 500m. away from civilisation, close to small local village. I guess there shouldn't be much interference on this location, exept high magnetite level in the rock around. I made a test today without recalibrating the compass at another location and the green & yellow blinks came just before the end of the flight when a person near me picked up mobile phone call. The day from the video I had mobile phone + hands free communication with the camera operator all the time during the flights. Is it possible to be that ?

Todays flight test update.
- I have recalibrateted the IMU in a perfectly horizontal copter frame.
- Recalibrated the compass on the flying field

After the procedures above I took the bird up. Flying perfect and getting the green/yellow blink only on one exact spot of the field I fly and in only one direction of the aircraft - South. When I hover there and rotate the nose to a different direction the green/yellow blink disappears. My Compass MOD values are 1487-1503 and I am using the latest firmware. Also on my iOSDmkII  a blinking arrow appears in the center/bottom of the screen, which by the manual means "For NAZA-M user, Blinking arrow will apper when compass has errors, please recalibrate your compass". I did that and I am still seeing green/yellow LED and arrow blinks from time to time. DJI Support, please respond to that and open our eyes about this misterious blinks., Thankn you in advance

Yes. I did firmware upgrade 3 flights before the green/yellow situation appeared.

Let me know if you get this figured out and what it was...I tried to duplicate it on a 1000 I have that I use for testing....I live up in the mountains so I tried granite rock areas, old gold mines, even a Cable TV repeater tower and couldn't duplicate it. Just curious, have you checked the end limits in the assistant for Atti and GPS? I've seen weird things when they aren't correct and are you using a 3 position switch for that? Other than that I'm clueless...hope you find it...gets frustrating when you dont know and dont want to crash. Cheers Mate.

Hey dennismurry08
Thanks for your reply. I have checked the end limits of my 3 position switch and they are fine. I am checking them almost before every flight because of the fail safe, just want to be sure if I have lost the signal that everything will work fine. Thanks for your support. It is really frustrating like you said. I hate problems that are not constant and are hidden behind the FC brain, just don't know how to act. For sure if I solve this will share the reason. I will try to replace my COMPASS PRO with PRO PLUS and see if it is still there. Cheers Dennis

Your compass mod values are fine.  My only input is what you first mentioned that there my be a significant amount of magnetite in the area.  Are you seeing this in other areas that you fly.

Same issue here.  All was fine before upgrade to 2.7.  now in same flight location, after compass calibration, on the ground, double purple, once airborne, green/yellow compass error warning.  Once back on the ground, return to double purple flash.  Warning led does not change when I switch from gps to atti.  Switches checked, IMU calibrated after upgrade.  Annoying...

Hello!
You may need to degauss the GPS Compass module with a magnet.

Does anyone have a fix for this issue? I am set up the same and I cannot calibrate the compass because of the Abnormal Compass Data error. Is it the 2.7 upgrade that's the problem or what?
