Perhaps you should show us your config. Regarding the missing GPS fix that should be OK. I am testing indoors on a Lisa/L and never get a fix and can start the motors.

Hi again,

@Eduardo: Its a rotorcraft, with currently no escs installed. I'm going to connect pwm-chinacontrollers, but currently I'm watching the throttle-gauge.

@Simon: It was specified and is 9.3V and my battery is currently at 12.4V . So I guess it should work.

What about the missing GPS-fix? Will the motors start, even when there is no fix? Is there another way to start the motors, like using a switch?

Thank you for your help

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Also make sure that the voltage you are supplying exceeds the value defined in the airframe conf. For example:

 <section name="BAT">
   <define name="CATASTROPHIC_BAT_LEVEL" value="9.3" unit="V"/>
 </section>

In this case if the voltage is less that 9.3 it will enter KILL mode. You should also see a message in the GCS window though. Not sure what the default is if you do not specify it, so put it in there to be sure.

Simon

PS. Happy new year too ;)

Hi Eduardo,

thank you for your reply. I have the following define for the kill-switch:
      <define name="RADIO_KILL_SWITCH" value="RADIO_CAM"/>
The CAM switch is a two point switch on my radio.
If I activate it, the mode changes from "ATT" to "KILL". But the Motor even don't start when kill is deactivated.

Cheers

Christoph

How many channels have your radio ?
Your KILL switch are ON.
With spektrum radio the KILL are the channel number 5.

Look ate radio config file and change the KILL channel if necessary.
