Iris+ blinking rear arm LED

Posted by Randy Bachtell on January 10, 2015 at 7:24pm

I can't seem to find any discussion on this so I believe I might have a small problem.  My Iris plus has an intermittent blinking of the right rear arm LED and has since the first flights.  Is this normal or should I dig in to look for a faulty connection?

    If its blinking on its own more than likely the LED is bad and can't be repaired.

      You are right Mike.  I tore into it and found a bad connection at the LED-ribbon cable, not easily repairable.  Did a temporary repair until I get a new one.

      Thanks to the forum for all the help.  I've been gleaning tons of good info for the last couple of months.

      Hi. Where can the led cable be ordered? thank you!

      component LEDs, pre wired LEDs

      They are a duplicate item ready to solder to the PDB

    The LEDs are connected to the main battery power by normal wires. There is a resistor inside shrinkwrap, and then another solderpoint to the flex-cable of the LED. This all seems a bit brittle. I had to repair this after a crash.

    Thanks for the info, I suspected as much but didn't want to tear into it needlessly.
