RED/GREEN blinking on RC & AC

[cheddarman]

On another forum OP tried linking AC/RC but on completion link light on AC and LH light on RC blinking RED/GREEN. Any. Guess link failed but................

 

[quaddamage]

I imagine it might mean multiple things, including HW failure. But usually the RC just wants to say "I kind of see the drone, but it's speaking to me in foreign language".

Which translates to - RC and AC have non-matching firmware versions.
Always use firmwares which were published close to each other.

 

[cheddarman]

At this moment he cannot get his device to connect to the RC either so he can't check what firmware's installed where - or can he?

Yes he can.

Put very old firmware on SD-card. Start the drone like you wanted firmware to update.

If the firmware is older than current (and no special files were created to force update), then no update will happen. But the drone will write information about version of each module to a log file on SD-card.

Thanks for that QD, I'll pass it on.

OK. He had a go with the suggestion and this is the log report:

Yeah.. now he's definitely on v1.11.20.
After he solves the RC issue, he'll have to deal with the m0800/m1500 not responding issue. That requires some minor soldering.
