Hi there,
I’ve been trying to help my father with his new Phantom v1.1.1 but we’re having an issue with motor arming.
The Phantom has been upgraded to the latest firmware.
We’ve gone through all the calibration procedures (including advanced IMU calibration multiple times), today we reset everything to default values and recalibrated again, we’ve tested the motors via the Assistant software and calibrated the tx and everything appears good.
(one odd thing is that we frequently get motor controller temperature warnings when starting the advanced calibration but it seems to work when retrying).
The compass calibration seems to work OK and the startup sequence looks normal, but no matter what we try the motors won’t arm, when moving the tx sticks to the arming position we get a sequence of brief rapid green flashes (or yellow in attitude mode).
I’ve uploaded a video to youtube showing the whole startup and arming sequence in the hope that someone can spot something, note the props are off in this video because we had just been playing with it inside but it makes no difference with them on.
The video is http://youtu.be/_W0ILZ0oPx0
Can anyone help? Thanks!
Bruce
