I finally got to take my new IRIS out for a short flight. Everything went well for a maiden flight except the status LEDs are not working. I removed the shell and the status LED on the PixHawk is not working either.
Any suggestions for me to try while I wait for a reply from 3DR tech support?
Thanks,
Bruce

I have a new IRIS and attempted to make my maiden flight. All of my indicators responded as expected but the Quad did not arm when commanded to do so. After connecting and disconnecting the battery several times the arming occurred. I seem to recall somebody reporting a similar problem with a Pixhawk. Has anybody else had somewhat flaky performance of their Pixhawk? I say flaky because the LEDs and the Pixhawk were tested before shipping.
Hi there,
I have noticed by playing with andropilot and my IRIS with a small sky aperture that I get a high HDOP(andropilot announces the failure if speech is turned on) even with enough satellites ,telemetry connected that is)) it WONT arm.. the indicator is flashing yellow instead of green. maybe this might be the issue?
Turns out I had a bad external RGB LED and 3DR is replacing it.
