Good morning,

X8, mega 2560, 9xr radio. Plane was flying and excellent in rtl and auto. i decided it was time to add a live video feed. Installed the transmitter, camera, and battery. The plane no longer follows waypoints and won't rtl. It gives a bad compass health warning in flight. i removed the entire camera system and now I get an occasional "bad compass health" and a continous "no rc receiver" warning on the HUD in mission planner. Obviously I have an rc receiver as I am flying manually. i have calibrated the compass two different ways and checked the wiring. Nothing was shorted or plugged into the autopilot system with the camera install, it was a stand alone system. Help?

  • Solved my own problem, as usual, with no help from this forum. i would have expected some ideas on what to check, even bad ones, from people that have more knowledge than I do. Seems odd, a discussion board with no discussion......I can't justify freely giving my solution here. Maybe someone could suggest another website with actual support?
