Leds blinking green and red in flight

[ccase39]

I fly in Naza mode and just got back from a flight where my Leds would blink twice green then once red. It went away after a few minutes. Was in GPS mode. I didnt see this color patern on the chart included on the TX. What does it mean?

The GPS mode, rear arm LED, flashing sequences:

Green, Red, Red, Red= <5 Satellites (SV) acquired
Green, Red, Red= 5 SVs
Green, Red= 6 SVs
Green, Green, etc.= >6 SVs

Ok so mine is going Green, Green, Red. I had only noticed it flashing Green in the past, after the initial startup.

Sorry.

Typo.. Green, Green, Red =6 satellites

It's the minimum sats required for GPS related 'assistance'.

The chart attached to the remote is for phantom mode only! Naza mode has it own set of LED patterns.

Thanks for the info guys. Makes sense now. GS was showing GPS mode but it must not have had 6 sattelites.

Exactly.

Just be careful with 6. It can drop to 5 & if you do not pay attention on the app, you will be in atti. Easy to drift away without you knowing it or if low enough, can hit a obstacle.

I do keep an eye on it usually. I have been happy to see that most places I go I usually have 9 or more sattelites. I have not had one drop yet. This last time it was right after start up so I guess it had not had time to connect to 6.

Yep normally that is the way it is. I have never lost enough to put me in atti, I do know it happens though.

I didn't see this answered here really. What I think it is: In NAZA mode, and GPS mode, two green flashes followed by one red means you have 6 satellites and the sticks are not centered. When the sticks are centered and you have 6 satellites and in GPS mode, you will get one green and one red.

Yea BT.

I may be partially at fault here too as I was not as clear as I'd have liked.

Should have just posted this link, it's pretty clear there:
