    Hi Guerrilla Drone,

    I have the same problem. Have you found the way how to solve it?

    Hi, I vaguely remember having been in this situation and having pulled the SD card out and read the boot.log file. And having found useful information there about a HW error I had, which caused it (bad compass wires in my case).

    I also remember that you can get a live boot log on the UART4/5 port. This requires that you know how to build a get a serial cable and how to read the incoming data in a terminal program (it sounds more difficult than it is).

    Regards

    Soren

    Did you load firmware. Have you calibrated the unit.

      Hi Dave! Ok compass and gps locked, I'm starting on stabilized mode as we'll and trying to arm holding throttle to the right (mode 2) for 5 seconds... As long as the orange light blinks I can't arm... About the message screen... I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right screen

        Does the compass move when you rotate it. You can turn off arming checks you might have to adjust your end points in your radio. You do have the radio set for acro correct.

      I tried to arm but it won't let me, screen doesn't change just says: "disarm"

        Are you looking in the message screen. Also make sure you have it set for stabilize to arm it. You should here the computer changing mods as you move the switch. It also wont arm unless you have a gps lock and the mag is calibrated. Make sure you are holding it 5 seconds to the bottom right when you arm.

      Dave, yes throttle is good, but yaw it's reversed as well as rudder need to b reversed form radio, but this is how it was before and I was able to arm and even calibrate my esc's. The difference was before I didn't had that orange light flashing

      Yes, I'm able to calibrate the radio even tho the light's blinking... All Chanel's look good when doing radio calibration as well as results

        Are you sure your throttle or rudder channel does not need reversing.
