    Battery charges, stays at flashing 1s light

    Its not balancing the cell (or rather if it is, its still doing it 24 hours later). I've tried resetting the charger, and another cell of the same type that works great. I'm guessing this particular battery must have died then...

    Battery charges, stays at flashing 1s light

    New Phantom keeps flying away...

    So yes, I do indeed have the compass mounted on the opposite leg than where it was installed orginally. This is because my FPV wiring comes out the left side, so i moved it too the right. Is there a way to adjust in software, or do I need to re-wire the FPV (bit or a mission as I will have to...

    New Phantom keeps flying away...

    Your a genius ticktock! I think I mounted the compass in the right leg (if LEDs are on back) and from checking photos I see the default is on the left. Ill try this, thanks so much.

    New Phantom keeps flying away...

    No luck after tracing all the connections, and disabling the ghost / gymbal. Is there any form of diagnostics I can run? NAZA assistant shows GPS readings, sat fixes are ok, compass gives readings. I'm at a loss.

    Power Predator and Arris cm2000 from aux power?

    Hi there, I currently have a Arris CM2000 powered from my phantom aux power cable. I have a predator, that currently has the filter board, so it can be powered directly from the battery balance cable. I'd like to not use this to power the predator as its a pain to plug in every time i change...

    Problem with Arris CM2000 gimbal

    I just bought and installed a new Arris CM2000 - its acting very odd when I tilt the copter to the left, like it can't hold enough power to keep the gimbal level. THe cables are not fowled by the landing gear, although it does look close. I made a video to show what going on, any ideas how to...
