I am the owner of a new Iris+ and I have been doing my best to take it slow.
When I went out for my maiden voyage, I tried to arm the Iris+, It would not arm, so I tried arming the Iris from my tablet and it returned the following error:
"ARM THR below FS"
I assume this has something to do with the throttle and fail safe, But that's all I can guess. Im not sure how or why this is erroring?
There were also error messages about compass inconsistencies. I will try to fix one thing at a time.
Thanks for your time

I am in the air. The first flight went well. Almost had a grand error by loading the wrong mission into the droidplanner.
Luckily for me the direction it headed gave me time. I almost panicked and I hit return to home. It came back, I realized what I had done. As cautious as I was. I need to be more aware.
So then I reloaded my mission for the area I was at, sent it off and it did its thing.
WOW. Im hooked. One last thing I need to fix is battery but ill post that in iris forum.
thanks again
After re binding the transmitter I plugged into mission planner and got several fail safes.
One was a bad velocity. So I re calibrated the accelerator and the compass.
The compass instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD9Z9IR2TNU
seemed to allow you to choose when to exit the calibration. When I use mission planner 1.3.11 to calibrate gps, after a certain amount of turns, it autofinished and told me my new parameters.
After that I tried to arm the engines again, this time error was High GPS HDOP. This was resolved by going outside of the house with the Iris. I was troubleshooting indoors.
I am setting up to maiden voyage. Transmitter is working against Iris motors and I can successfully arm and disarm from the transmitter.
thanks for your time a great help.
One bit of good news is that within mission planner I can go through controller calibration now. The graphs respond to the transmitter sticks moving. It still seems as though the transmitter is not talking to the receiver.
I tried rebinding the transmitter to the receiver. Although I had a green light after the process Im still getting a yellow flashing light.
When Im in mission planner and connected, under mandatory hardware, radio calibration.
When I begin the calibration, nothing moves when I move the sticks around.
It seems now I get a consistant loss of RC signal, indicated by the flashing yellow light.
Do you know what the usb cable is plugged into, other than the Iris? Or does it matter?
In the video you linked for binding the transmitter, it says to plug in a usb cord. What cord is that? Is that any micro usb or the one for the base station?
Is the non micro usb end plugged into anything?
Seems to just need to be plugged into a pc at the same time. a way to power the receiver, without using the lipobattery, im guessing for saftey.
Will have to wait till morning. wife hates the beeping sound.
after the transmitter is beeping does the iris need to be powered on? or will the lights respond with it off?
