Flight Mode Switch

[PeterPan]

Hello Guys (and girls maybe),

I am a 'brand new' phantom 2 pilot with some issues.....

Hope you can maybe help me out. I just bought a new phantom 2 (with the DJ6 Tx). I am quite familiair with the Assistant software (have some other quads) and first thing I did was updating firmware with the Assistant. Everything went well.
Just one thing is a real pain in the ***. I am unable to switch flight mode. So when I open the assistant software I see my flight mode switch (channel U) in the centered position (ATTI) but when I flip my flight mode switch I don't see any result (it is not moving in the assistant software).
Side effect as well is I am unable to calibrate my compass by flipping the switch.

Does anybody have some experience with this issue?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Peter

Do the sticks and the other switch register movement in the Assistant software when the Flight Mode switch doesn't?

 

[PeterPan]

Yup they do. All movements are there except channel U.

with phantom 2's switch from phantom mode to NAZA M mode. that unlocks all the ioc features and failsafe for the phantom 2's :shock:

 

[PeterPan]

Well Unfortunately that's not it. It is in Naza M mode. The IOC function switch is working. Only the flight mode is somehow locked.

Sounds like a bad switch.

Here a little clarification video. A bad switch is a possibility indeed.

Here a little clarification video. A bad switch is a possibility indeed.

In the video, up/right there's button "Naza-M" meaning the TX is in Vision mode. Try to click on it.

No, it's in naza mode.

You checked the IOC tab too I guess?

 

[PeterPan]

Yep that works fine.

Does the software show the representation of switch moving when you move it? (IOC tab)
Because that would rule out a faulty switch presumably.

 

[PeterPan]

Under the tab IOC I see the switch moving between off /crs loc / and home lock. But that's a different switch (lh side of transmitter). The flight mode switch (rh side of transmitter) doesn't work.

Can you explain why you think that's ruling out a faulty switch? Thx!!!
