Ok. There are a few things about this that just don't add up for me. First is that one bad sat on a vbar should never cause a crash. The receivers talk to the vbar using a fixed protocol and all packets received are integrity checked before being passed to the vbar. The receiver also sends malformed packet codes to the vbar so they can be entered into the log. ( ask me how I learnt this). With two receivers doing this the vbar can decide which is the most reliable signal. The vbar then switches satellites and puts a message in the log to say its done this. (FYI : it allows a certain amount of bad packets before switching. ).
Satellites. My understanding of the flashing light is that it's received a power reset rather than a lot of malformed packets. Or it has completely lost the signal. Which again will be reported in the vbar log. Can you post the log please. Along with a commentary of what you were doing.
Things to check.
Power.... Are the leads to the satellites ok.
Power bus on the vbar. Did it get damaged in the crash. Mikado are very good and will have it back to you in less than a week for a checkup.
Plug your laptop into the vbar when your doing the range test and look at the monitor screen to see what the vbar thinks your servos should be doing against what they are doing
Put the satellites into dsm mode in the tx. Leave them as dsmx on the vbar (this just sets what satellites are plugged in rather than their operating mode). And try again. (firmware on the radio)
Borrow some dsm2 satellites and try again
Try another transmitter. ( some are just pants on range test)
hope these help.
Again post logs. (did it show a satellite failure in the log for the first crash! )
