Hi, I hope someone can steer me toward a solution for this. What does it indicate when a G-RX8 flashes alternating RED and BLUE while the motor is beeping once a second?
I'm trying to set up Mike's E-Soar Plus. Have done it before on other planes, but this one is not cooperating. The problem is when I try to enter calibration mode, the Rx starts flashing red and blue, the motor is beeping once a second, and the servos behave oddly. Some move to an endpoint, some don't, but all start marching in tiny increments, once a second, toward some unknown destination. Once in a while they will suddenly move a large amount to some new random position. This continues until I remove power.
Here's what I've got:
Taranis X9D running EdgeTX 2.9
Frsky G-RX8 receiver running UNI
EMAX ES3352 digital servos
E-Soar 3.0 template
Here's what I've done:
Calibrated radio internally.
Bound Rx in PWM CH1-8 with telem mode. Green LED is present.
Calibrated throttle to ESC. Correct beeps heard.
Set some ESC options using Tx. Brake normal, brake force 3, cutoff voltage 3.2, BEC voltage 5.2, startup soft.
Began the E-Soar setup by setting servo directions. OK.
Going into calibration mode (confirmed by voice output) to start adjusting Lf4, that's when flashing red and blue begins, servos snap to new weird positions, beeping starts, and the noise of servos moving about once a second is seen and heard. They seem to heading from wherever they ran to, back to the expected positions, one small increment at a time.
I don't think it's just that things aren't calibrated yet. For example, the rudder goes hard right and stays there. Even an uncalibrated rudder would be roughly in the center, wouldn't it? Correct servo in correct channel is verified with the first step of setting direction of movement. Tx and Rx batteries are charged.
