Kevin Guest replied to Christopher Cooper's discussion Managed to burn out my GoPro
"Arrh, I did the same thing on my GoPro Hero 3, 12v into the USB socket :(

I found a battery that appears to be dead, also these two caps appear to be short circuit.

Should I try to remove the caps or is this just dead  and heading for the bin?"

"WoW, thanks for all that work!

My SD Card file /SOUNDS/en/TELEM/MSG44.wav does say "failed"

I wonder why mine is different...

If I look at the project folder found here:
Clooney GitHub
I see two sound folders, SOUNDS and SOUNDS_AC3.3

I'm using…"

"I did the same but still have the issue.

T2 =1413, so this should be 1413 / 16 = 88.31

MSG88 is  "Breach Command Number", so now I'm not sure...

"Thanks for replying Paul.

I'll grab some version numbers when I get home later, I'm not exactly using the latest but I am running 2.1.x, probably 2.1.6 but I'll check for sure. Once I've captured the version numbers I'll update everything, I know…"

"Hi,

I was testing Auto Mission yesterday and noticed that I kept hearing "Failed" called. Took me by surprise the first time but actually the mission was OK. It only happens in Auto Mode.

Watching the MavLink messages in Mission Planner it could…"

"I'm glad you got it working, the self discovery works really well. For me when you have this many sensor to configure then its worth powering up the model and discovering them using the Taranis, even if only to save typos.  Then use companion to do…"

"Yes, I am using OpenTx, I'm just running some test now to see what the GPS is giving me, I wont get anything until it gets a true lock - maybe 10 mins in my workshop :(. 
In companion, when I look at the GPS sensor it is set as Custom, Id 800,…"

"It works for me and I did nothing special.
Did you discover the GPS sensor correctly on your Taranis? Do you have GPS listed as a sensor and does it have a flashing star next to it when you should be receiving data?  I question this as I think if…"

"I had the same problem.
The solution is to retype the line, that "A" is a special character accidentally in the line that you can nit see but need to remove.
You need to find line 116 in the FrSkySPortTelemetry tab.
Basically, delete and retype the…"

So, my solution in case anyone else is search was to do the following (please note that I have github for windows installed so all the files from this project are cloned from github on my PC in my…"
