Thank you for the enhanced user and WTFD project! Very useful!
I have a Typhoon H with the latest firmware and have had on and off issues with it acquiring GPS satellites. It was purchased from a secondhand store and from my inspection it was in a crash (kinked camera board wires and scratches). I have flown it a few times, but GPS satellite acquisition either works right away or after waiting for 30 minutes (in a good clear area), I just give up and put it away. I checked the ST16 and the satellites are good on that end. I opened the drone up and checked the GPS battery and the voltage was at 1.66v. I turned on the bird for 30 minutes and cannot get it to charge past 2.7v. Don’t know if that is good or not.
I cannot get the bird to bind now either. I followed the steps for “verifying binding” from the enhanced user manual bind it and cannot get past step 35 (tried twice, orange receiver light is good too). Double checked to make sure wires were seated well and nothing got knocked loose when opened the bird up.
Also, when opening the bird, I noticed a red and blue flashing light on the FC module. Does anyone know what this means?
I am trying to troubleshoot and repair this as cheaply as possible. I know it is either the GPS module, the FC module or possibly the main board, or any combination. If anyone has any insight as to which to change first, it is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
shan
