Just got the P3A today. All batteries (2 quad and the RC) are or were 100% charged. Had them on the charger at work.
Got home and wanted to do some initial testing indoors. So, without any prop blades attached I did....
1. Connected the phone to the RC.
2. Powered on the RC.
3. Powered on P3A.
4. Waited for slow blinking greens after warmup
5. Launched Lichi
6. Compass Cal (lights confirmed it did it)(and yea, I know it was indoors, will do it again in the field in back)
7. Tinkered with camera, took some pics, some vid. Camera up/down works via dial and Lichi screen.
8. Set/checked default settings in Lichi.
9. Cleared a nice space around the P3A.
10. DId CSC...Both sticks in and down. Held for several seconds.
No apparent change in the craft. Tried CSC out and down. Still nothing. I get live video on screen. I see sats being tracked, data at bottom showing data. Its obviously connected to the RC and sending/receiving data since the camera operates, takes photos/vids.
It however refuses to spin up. I even tried the auto-takeoff, confirmed yes. Nothing, just sits.
Ok, so I figure mabe it can sense no blades. Got those attached and snugged up.
Power on again, connect. Good video, camera moves. Clear even a bigger area (in case it does actually start). CSC down and in. Nothing. Just sits there with red on front and slow blinking green rear.
So, I shut it down and carry it outdoors. Middle of the driveway. Clear sky. Lots of sats, think it had 15. Compass Cal again. CSC and....nothing Current battery I think is still at like 96%.
So what am I doing wrong here? Lights say its ready. Lichi shows no errors. Outdoor got a green P-GPS at top indoor switching between yellow and green P-GPS. I am obviously missing something. Probably really huge and obvious. Help an old fart get this bird to pay attention please.
And where in Lichi is the IMU cal? Can't find that in settings.
