P3 Not taking off, no error messages

[bastiaan023]

Hello,

Like the title says, I can't take off with my P3 standard. The day before I had no problems with it what so ever! You can see what happens here:

I already performed a IMU and compass calibration.

Someone knows how I can fix this?

Can you take off with the remote (pulling in both knobs)?

I havent tried that yet, I will try it next time!

OK. The P3S won't do an auto takeoff unless it has a GPS lock. ie 'Safe to Fly GPS' on the app. you can start it by doing it with both sticks to the bottom inward/outward corners.

From his video although it's not massively clear looks like the safe to fly is showing which should mean he does have gps lock.

You can just auto take off using app

My P3 wont calibrate because it says I'm too close to metal and I'm not. But it won't let me take off and the motors won't start. Aren't you still suppose to be able to take off without calibration ?

If your trying to do a compass cal and it's saying there's metal nearby, chance location. Make sure your house/car keys are not on you, and also cell phone is not, then move to a different location. And no flying is not a good thing if your getting any compass errors, or have never done one.

Just a thought... I don't know where your located, but I do know that if your battery is below 15 deg Celsius, it will not start the motors or take off. It will tell you your batt temp is too low SOMETIMES but not everytime. I have experienced this myself
