no control with 3DR Radio connected..

Hey guys, when flying with my 3DR Radio connected i loose control of my quad completely. Im not sure if it is jamming the RX/TX but i wouldnt have thought so since the transmitter is on 2.4 GIGA Hz and the radio is on a completely different spektrum being 433 MEGA Hz.

Ive nearly had a write off of my quad when flying now about 3 times, A quick rip out of the usb and some panicing always seems to just make it home safely. I think changing flight modes was one of those.

I see that there is an application i can download for the radios themselves. Will this allow me to maybe put the radios on a separate channel or something?

Appreciate your help, a bit nervous to take it up in the air again!

Cheers

  • It is very unlikely that the telemetry radio is interfering with the Spektrum radio.

    You should have a *.tlog file on the PC during the time of the attempted flight.

    Find it and post it here. Of course it will be truncated due to being abruptly removed.

    The radio function is integrated into Mission Planner and APM but... you must have the configuration set up and then reload firmware into the APM after selecting the radio. In short, it is not Plug-and-Play if you are running on a previous config upload.
