Im hoping someone can shed light on what's going on here. i have a suspicion. I have an AR7100 with one satellite which I've transferred from my old knight 3d in to my new ElyQ. It always worked flawlessly in the knight (although not used it for the past 2 months or so). I set up the ElyQ with it just fine, then took a test flight which was fine also. I went back to fly it again later in the day, and it wouldn't bind. The main unit would connect (orange light solid) but the satellite just blinked very faintly and at about half the rate of when a quick-connect happens. I tried re-bind, but the satellite stayed the same even with the bind plug in. I changed the cable to it, still the same. I came back to it later and all was fine, connected first time. I then had something strange happen as i was taking off, not sure wether this was the rx or something i did on the machine. best thing i thought was to send it to horizon to be checked. its been returned today with no fault found after numerous tests.
a bit of background here is that the satellite did the same thing when connected to an AR6200, so i sent it back guess what, no fault found but replaced anyway. so this is a new satellite, on a different rx doing the same thing. the rest of my machines are fine (2x AR7000 and 1x AR6200). I have a feeling that its something to do with the warm weather we had at the weekend - the machine was sat on a table in the sun for around 3 or 4 hours i guess. I guess i should state it was being fed with 6v out of a known good flight tech 8A regulator and a fully charged 2200 2s lipo.
anyone got any ideas? I'm gonna phone horizon tomorrow as i think they've read the letter i sent them with it wrong stating that the blinking light on the rx was a quick-connect indicator - it wasn't it was too dim and slower.
