cannot overwrite existing mission

Posted by BillV on August 11, 2015 at 3:48pm

I hope I am not repeating here but searches have turned up nothing for me.  For two months I have had a great time but I flipped my iris+ preparing for a takeoff and now the bird seems stuck on the mission that was loaded at the time.  I took a look and see no physical damage either in or outside. It still flies fine in the std and loiter modes.   

I tried again a couple days later with a new mission loaded (waypoints received) and still it wants to fly to the old mission location. 

I am hoping someone here can either help directly or send me in the right direction.  I am a complete new guy to this hobby and still have much to learn. 

Thanks, Bill

    Ok.  I think this is resolved.  I do know what the EEPROM is now and very glad I didn't have to do more.  I had not used Mission Planner before but got connected and loaded up a zero waypoint mission.  During a quick test flight I switched to auto and the craft stayed in place so MP apparently over-wrote the old mission.  I haven't had a chance to fly a mission yet because of where I live but will soon and hopefully all is well.

    Thanks for your reply. Telemetry with android. I will need a little guidance. I couldn't find EEPROM.

    How are you 'loading' the ways points, Hardlined into the computer or through telemetry? You provably have to erase what's on the EEPROM then write the new waypoint files.
