Hoverfly HoverflyPro blink codes?

[Jareth_Atian]

Is there a more-complete list of blink/error codes around than are available in the manual?

When I try to arm my HFP, I'm getting a blink code that I can't find in the manual:
First, the LED blinks red-black-red red (as it would in a successful attempt to arm) then it blinks purple three times with no beeping, then it returns to the flashing green 'disarmed' state.

Is it a new set-up? has it flown yet? check the Pro Info tab in the setup client to see if the configuration is saved in the FC"s memory.

Do you have Altitude hold enabled when you try and arm it? If so thats why. You need to make sure Altitude Hold is switched off when arming.

It is a new setup that has not flown yet, but I've confirmed in the pro-info tab that the configuration (x-hex) is saved in the FC's memory.

Altitude hold is not enabled (the switch position has been confirmed in the setup software). Also, on page 65 of the Hoverfly manual where the 'altitude hold' error code is displayed, the purple-black-purple flashing is shown without first going through the 'red-black-red red' sequence.

I'll keep poking at it. Thanks!

that happened to me the other day and I'm trying to remember why.....is there a GPS? did you forget to plug in the GPS antenna? has the compass calibration been done yet?

 

[Jareth_Atian]

Hum. There is a GPS board attached, but I hadn't plugged in the GPS antenna or performed the compass calibration (I was just doing a desktop test). I'll try again later and let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Yeah, sounds like a GPS issue. Let use know if plugging the antenna in helps

Since I haven't fabbed a good folding GPS antenna mount yet, I decided to disconnect the HoverflyGPS for now. Problem disappeared. Thanks all!
