Telemetry radio still will not connect to the mission planner

Posted by Robert on October 18, 2015 at 7:42am
I have been troubled by this program all week. I have tried everything everyone has suggested on here. The radios show that they are corrected to eachother by the solid green light. And then if i try and connect with mission planner i will then get a solid green led with a blinkin red led. Same on both devices. However the blinking red light is bright on one and hardly visable on the other (air side). I have my telemetry radio plugged straight into the apm 2.6. Not using an osd at the moment. The telemetry radio air side on the board says R_AIR_V1.0. And its a 915mhz. Hope someone can help me. Also might add that i tried a different set of radios and had the same problem. No Hartbeat Packets.

    Thank you for the help. However I was able to stumble upon the problem while back. It was in fact the wireing for the telemetry was incorrect. But thankyou.

      I have the same radio and the exact same problem. Can you point me in the right direction to solve the wiring issue?

      Thank you!

        Never mind I figured it out... Unlike most comm lines that you connect RX to TX and TX to RX, the R_AIR_V1.0 has the nomenclature on the PCB wrong and harness that comes with.. For the radio to work connect APM RX to R_AIR RX and TX to TX. 5VDC to 5VDC and GND to GND.

        The red comm light is now bright and works on mission planner and tower.

    Can you read settings for both radios via MP or 3DR Radio Config Tool?

    I just bought the same item and the wiring described on diagrams found in google don't match completely. Have you got a solution yet? I hope you see this. Thank you.
