Sent this to DJI support, looking to see if anyone else if having this issue?

---->Link to video showing issue <----

As you will see in the video all is set up correctly, the A3 just doesn’t want to control the ESC/Motors via the “test motors” or arm thru the Futaba. I have set up dozens of Wookong’s and A2’s - I must have gotten a lemon A3, should not be this difficult?

Tested with KDE 5215 430 KV motors / KDE 95 ESC's & Tiger U7 490 KV / Tiger 80 ESC's - both drones do not arm or activate motor test - they do have signal since they do not beep contuniously after boot up.

The software did crash a number of times on the firmware update due to a faulty DJI supplied USB, maybe something got corrupted because weird things happened like:

- Bad USB cable:
would hang or fail with both firmwares available
would hand or fail at 98%

- Once I figured out the USB cable issue it updated to the latest firmware 1.3 BUT...
every once in a while on boot up, got errors stating either compass or IUM was disconnected and to redo - i’d replug it in an all is good but happened a few time which is unsettling.



Thanks, Jason

Jason,
I run KDE 4014 motors with KDE 55a esc's and I am able to do motor tests and get them to arm, but then they will not shut down unless I take the throttle to mid point then back down.
And changing the the idle speed in the assistant does nothing.
There seems to be a problem with non-DJI motor/esc combos and the A3.
Anyone else?
DJI?
Cheers, Craig

I am using DJI E800 motors and can't get to run in the test. Motors are connected to power (LEDs of Motors are on, 3 green in the back of the Hexa+ configuration, 3 red in the front). The PWM cables are connected with the orange signal wire to the bottom of A3.

What is going on? How to fix that?

Could you happen to provide a picture of your set up to get a better idea of how the A3 is connected?
