White LED and *beep*

The firmware I have has a slightly different name. I am in USA, so correct firmware might not be the same. My firmware us named: Firmware update 380qx_stm32_main_08_31_2015_20ms.bin It has a "creation date" of 11/6/2015.

I don't have the CHROMA GUI running right now. Does the GUI have a link to download the appropriate firmware for your region?

Note I seen confused about what region you live in. It just occurred to me that I was assuming you are in Florida, USA, and I have no idea why.

 

Ferry,
I just had an idea. Send me a copy of the EXACT update you are using. Not one from the internet, the one you actually used. I want to try it to see if maybe your copy is damaged.

 

Got it. It will take a couple of minutes to set up and try it

 

That didn't change anything. My Chroma still starts normally and goes into bind mode normally.

You mentioned a couple times that you had changed the mainboard and the USB. What problems were you seeing BEFORE you changed them?

 

WOW. This is new to me. Trying to think of things that would be common. Other than motors and GPS, you have changed pretty much everything on the Chroma, and disconnecting motors/GPS on my Chroma did not replicate the problem.

Are you by any chance in a "no fly zone" that is enforced by the drones GPS? I would have to look up how the drone behaves in that mode, I've never had to deal with it.

Are their any heavy metal, electrical or magnetic items near where you are working?

What was the last thing that happened before the original problem started?

You can tell I'm really guessing around at this point. If anyone is following this thread in real time, I hope someone with better ideas will come in. We're getting very close to the dreaded "send it to Horizon Hobbies" statement.

 

In your earlier reply to the GUI problem, you mentioned It says "disconnected. please check psychical connection to the quadrotor". Did you try to use another USB cable? Perhaps the USB is not fully working, and affected the update?

When you had the original problem with the original board, had you done an update just prior?

 

Can you do another video of the way it is now?

 

Did the sequence reach the stage with rear two green, front two white, and all solid?

 

In this video, I see the drone is bound to the controller, and is still searching for GPS. When the GPS locks in, the two rear will be solid color, front two white, and all solid. Camera has an issue going on.
Maybe should take it off drone for now. I think I can help with camera later, but difficult to deal with two issues at once.

 

Can't see ST-10 screen with my bad eyes. How many Drone GPS satellites showing on box on left of screen, and how many Controller GPS satellites showing on top of screen?

 

Can you take it outside to a place with a clear view of the sky?

 

That shows the current problem. There are no Drone GPS satellites showing. It can't calculate it's position, and therefore will not let you start the motors. we will need to determine why no GPS, but for now I am trying to find the screen that turns GPS requirement OFF.
