Naza Problems

More Naza woes

Hi,

Trying to set up my Naza-M V2 for my Discovery Pro. I was making progress today setting up the 3 way switch on my JR 10X Tx when somehow or other things went south. I started getting a configuration error and all the stick positions were far right and in black. Then a "Configuration Error" popped up. Thid will also occur if I power up the controller with no Rx input at all.
Now none of the sticks will respond on the PPM mode that I am transmitting in.
However I do get 3 of the 4 sticks in green and one of them works, Elevator, I think, the very strange thing is that it shows this shows up if I switch to "NormaL not PPM which it is transmitting in. I switched TX's and went with PCM and got strange results there also. Spent a good 5 hours and at a loss. Kept getting configuration error. I reloaded the S/W twice and same result.

Again I used two different TX's feeding a Dragonlink and then even tried my 50Mhz stuff in PCM and it didn't work either.

Could I have possibly fried the controller?

ANY thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.

I think they pretty hard to fry atleast from my experience. I'm really good at frying stuff and have not managed to fry one yet. Might sound pretty basic but do you think your trims are all set to 0?

Thanks for the response . Everything was working at one moment then nothing.

I did get some fairly difinative data from working on it las night and this is what I found:




I was watching the Naza output on the assistant software and stick positions were pegged at one end with no response. Checked and rechecked wiring but it just didn't work. I then switched the Naza to look for PCM not PPM and low and behold it began to work. Problem is I am putting out PPM to the just upgraded V1 Dragonlink Tx and the Naza will only recognize a valid signal if I set the Naza to PCM. This was validated by the flashing led indicating no Tx signal when set to PPM. I also used another Tx feeding the D/L a JR8103 and same issue.

Now I switched to my old 72 MHz PPM stuff and it works fine in PPM.

I have bound and calibrated both of the upgraded both 12 Ch Rx's and they both act the same. I do get a blue link light in both Rx's.

This leads me to believe the Dragonlink Tx is the culprit here not the Naza. For some reason its not putting out a valid PPM signal. It was working fine for a couple of days of testing then kaput.

I found out the problem and feel a bit dumb for not simply typing "Naza ans Dranonlink problems" into Google
It seems this is an ongoing problem that has not been fixed yet. The good news is that you can operate the Naza in PCM mode and it will work fine, I've been told abit using more small jumpers.

Well I think I fried mine ! I was hooking up a v2 vmu to a v1 controller and smoked it. The controller works it flys in atti fine. But won't recognize the gps.
Bought a new gps and it still won't show up in assistant. Everything is setup right, I've done It dozens of times. Must fried something in the gps part of the controller. Funny how everything else works.
I know the old gps got cooked because I opened it up and had a burnt wire. That's why I bought a new one.
