IRIS+ RC transmitter issue

Hi everyone,

I received my IRIS+ yesterday (it's my second quadcopter).

 

Unfortunately, it seems like it doesn't work properly: included RC transmitter doesn't show any move on a throttle stick and it looks the same when I'm checking (and trying to reconfigure it) in mission planner. Other channels and telemetry are working, however. When I connect a battery, it blinks yellow (no RC signal). I was trying to adjust throttle travel and curve on a transmitter, but with no result, so just brought it back to default values... Interesting thing is that in mission planner you can see that throttle value is changing when you are trying to give it a trim.

 

Another thing is that I can't connect it to my tablet, it says "data link lost, check connection".

 

Have anyone experienced issues like this or might know a solution?

Thanks,

Lech

  • Re: the tablet connection for DroidPlanner.  I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy.  My fix ended up being a simple switch of the Net ID to 25 as seen here under 'Configuring Using Mission Planner';

    Not sure why it wasn't set that way shipped from 3DR.

    • Thanks for the info. Will try it tomorrow. Anyway it looks like I need to return my iris due to a faulty rc transmitter...

  • I would bet the pot on your throttle is messed up. The same thing happened to the RC TX for my Iris+. I currently have it RMA'd with them because it would keep loosing the bottom end of the throttle range effectively making it so i couldn't throttle down low enough to arm or safely disarm.
