I'm new at this. Long story short i wanted to add tilt to my Goodluckbuy gamble from eBay. i bought a part to add to the back of my transmitter and ended up breaking it. so i bought a new DJ6 2.4G transmitter only to do some research and figure out it would not bind with my original Phantom 1. so digging deeper i found i needed to get a new Receiver so i bought the... phantom part NO.31 2.4G dual antenna receiver.so i bout one of those and installed it. I have updated all the firmware in the Phantom and the transmitter. i also set the phantom to D-Buss in the Naza software. I followed the instructions to bind the new Receiver. push the button for 2 sec until blinking lED then turn on transmitter and pull stick to lowest position then it goes green showing they have ben bound. BUT... no go. the phantom is still blinking yellow Leds at me. the receiver is plugged into the X2 spot.
so.. what am i doing wrong?
Humm, you probably are back to flying but since someone might be interested I thought I would address your issue.
First thing is since you are installing a Spare Part 31, 2 antenna 2.4GHz Receiver you will need to plug into to ports on your Naza MC. Both X1 and X2.
To Bind a DJI Phantom, not a Phantom 2, Vision or Vision plus, but the original DJI Phantom the first thing to determine is what receiver is inside your bird. The reason is when DJI first started they put a 2.4GHz receiver with 1 antenna in the early Phantoms. Then as time went on and they determined that having antennas on 2 legs would give for a better connection no matter what direction the bird is facing, DJI came out with a 2 antenna receiver. In my opinion you also get better range from the 2.4GHz receiver that has 2 antennas. So, in the beginning with the 1 antenna receiver you needed to use the SR6 RC Transmitter.
Ok, so after DJI put the 2 antenna receiver inside the Phantom's you now used the DJ6 RC Transmitter.
I am not going to address binding either the SR6 and 1 antenna receiver, but I am going to explain the 2 Antenna Receiver and the DJ6.
So, here you are, either you are without a RC Transmitter or you have upgraded your Receiver to the 2 antenna Receiver and you wish to bind with a DJ6 RC Transmitter.
With the DJ6 RC Transmitter in the off position, with your props removed, plug your battery into the Phantom leaving the battery outside of the battery compartment. You should see a red light come on inside the battery compartment. This red light is on the bottom of the Receiver board so it is clearly visable through the battery compartment door. The Red light is an indication that no RC Transmitter is found by the receiver. Now if you turn on the DJ6 RC Transmitter the condition of the red light should change in reaction to your turning on the DJ6. Typically the light will start to blink green but sometimes it just goes off. Either way at this point we can see that the DJ6 and the Phantom can see each other. If the light is blinking green, reach inside the battery compartment and press the button for a couple seconds, it should blink red once or twice and then go off. When the red light is off you should be bound and you should be able to start your motors.
The first version Receiver had the button on top and you needed to do different things to bind.
Ok, hopefully all the above makes sense. Now, if you install a new Spare Part 31 Receiver and you can not get a reliable binding to happen. Reverse the X1 and X2 servo cables. Keep what we might call pin 1 up in the Naza MC and towards the little antenna connections on the receiver board but swap the cables. The one you have in X1 put in X2 and Vise Versa. Now your binding should hold and you can go fly.
Here is a link to the upgrade kit I have been selling for 6 months or so.
