    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    You're amazing! D-BUS was it... I didn't see that in the instructions. Thank you so much!

    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    I used the magnet and got the mod values in the right place. I disconnected it from the computer, did a power cycle and tried to calibrate it. The phantom kept flashing red and yellow and will not turn to stay a solid yellow. I still cannot calibrate the compass at all nor can I fly it. Does...

    Also, moving the toggles on the Remote Control does not move the sliders in the software. Maybe the remote is at fault??

    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    Thank you for your reply. I will try to use a magnet and re-calibrate, but without the compass calibrated, it should still fly in ATTI mode, right? Because I can't even do that....

    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    I applied the default configuration file and it went OK. The software just said the GPS needed to be calibrated. It looks like this Wiki article - http://wiki.dji-innovations.com/en/inde ... d_Receiver - shows how to bind the receiver and the transmitter. Perhaps I'll try this next. I'm not sure...

    I can't move my hand any faster. That's not it.

    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    I have spent many hours watching videos and reading. The manual is only a few pages long. In this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEN3MBYnFZs - he unboxes the Phantom, assembles it, calibrates the compass and flies it. I cannot get the compass to calibrate because the light never turns...

    OK. Thank you for the explanation. Any ideas on why the Remote Control doesn't seem to communicate with the Phantom??

    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    The problem lies somewhere in the communication between the Remote and the Phantom, I think. This seems to be the case as it doesn't respond to the calibration and the propellers won't turn on when I put both sticks down towards each other like he does in the video, so I can't fly it at all. Is...

    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    Thank you for both the replies. The problem is that when I take it outside and do the toggle 8-10 times - nothing happens. That's where I'm at... Also, what doesn't make sense to me is that in the instruction videos it shows the toggle stick stuck down and he keeps mentioning that as necessary...

    Compass Calibration and Other Issues

    I just bought a brand new Phantom from Amazon. I am new to all of this, and the instructions and online tutorials are poorly written at best. I am trying to calibrate the compass. I start by turning on my Remote Control, then I plug the battery in to the Phantom, it flashes red and yellow...
