Hey guys,

I have a problem,
Lightbridge 1
DJI A2

So I changed my system a bit, after the troubles with the Futaba recievers.

Now my drone is controled completely via Lightbridge and Lightbridge Only

So Lightbridge to RC/TX of A2,

Everyting is setup correctly, it flies good, all i want
EXCEPT 1 problem

Range,
it's verry small, between 100 and 150meters,
and then it goes into failsafe, and comes back bcs of RC/TX loss...

The antenna's are mountend correctly on my drone,
all is running,

All is up to date with latest frimware for lightbridge 1
Any solutions ?

thanks
Julien

Thanks for reply
Ok, and how to solve it ? or ? what to do ?

change the unit ? or ? reset or ? ...

Is it possible it's all caused by a faulty antenna ?
I investigated a bit more  on the app where you can see the antenna connection thing

I get a verry low on antenna 2 . deep in red.But when i move the antenna, so turn it, or hindge it,
it gets changes a lot, gets better, then worse,
you know the deal

Any how ordered new antenna's,
but please don't hesitate to launch new idea's,

Gosh once the zenmuse gets to a "usable" megapixl number, i'll go Inspire, that's basically all i need...
like 22 or 24... More than enough.
16mpix is just that little bit to low for a double page...

It's a quad copter,
on a frame of Quadframe,

Uses a DJI A2 flight computer
4 DJI E1200 motors-system with 15 ich Tmotors carbon props,
( works amagazingly well)

A Sony A6000, a 2axis gimball ( don't need the 3th one realy)
Hoocked up via HDMI,  to lightbridge,

Then the normal DJI hookup between lightbridge and A2,
F1 = tilt ( not in gimball mode, the gimball has its own basepath computer)
F2 = shutter
F3 = zoom for camera


on ground i have the ground station on a Android tablet, and a futaba T14sg,
Thats basically it ...

You do not have any additional accessories such as the 2.4 Datalink?

No,

only A2 and Lightbridge,
no other radio frequencies on there

Based on the information provided, it may be an antenna issue on either the ground end or the air end. Just to rule out another possibility, have you also checked the training cable and ensure that it is plugged in on the appropriate sides of the RC and ground end? Does the physical connection seem secure? Is all the firmware up to date?
