Title: Some satellite help needed please.
Post by: JohnC on January 27, 2016, 04:40:48 pm

Somewhere I saw mention of this issue but I can't find it again. 

I have a Lemon DSMX which was working for a few flights.  I changed or updated some things and could not get it to work again.  I then went to the PWM with the harness and it flies great.  I would like to go back to the satellite.  I think my latest upgrade is the last OP one.  I think I read that there was a problem with it for satellites. 

When I go back into the setup pages I can see that even though I clicked the DSMX satellite it does not stay whereas the PWM will. 

The satellite appears to be fine.  I talked with the seller and he thought it was not the problem.
Is the latest upgrade from LibrePilot going to fix this? 
Thanks in advance.  John

Hi F5soh

I went through this sequence several times, checked videos and I must be missing some little thing. 
I get the bind sequence right and the satellite has a solid red light.  I go back and change the setting to 0 and save it all.  Disconnect everything, do a proper Tx, plug battery in and all I get are 3 or 4 beeps and no complete bind set of beeps. 

I fully upgraded to the latest software and reset the Rx to the satellite but when I went back to recheck it was not highlighted. 

I keep thinking I am so close but what it is the missing part?

Sorry, don't know because never used DSM rx type.

The Rx lost the binding ?

Back and forth, through and around. 

I could not get my system to work with the instructions on the wiki.  I tried with a friend's Rx and no go. 
I finally went back to the Rx I was using bound it then added my Lemon satellite then hooked up just the satellite.  It was rapidly flashing as if it was in bind mode so I quickly turned off my Tx and pushed the bind button and started the bind.  It bound and flew.

I disconnected the battery then plugged it in again, no bind but the satellite was in bind mode so I did.  And it flew.  So this is the present pattern,  It does not make sense to me and should not be working this way. 

Any thoughts out there?

John

Witch port are you using ?

I remember some stuff need to be done on FlexiPort first time.

I am using the Flexi port.  If I remember correctly one of the older videos suggested binding in the Flexi port then changing to the Main one.

The latest version from LP does not switch ports.
