What do three white flashes ( attitude status bad ) really mean ?

[fritz99]

Hello !

I already contacted DJI about this problem :

When I connect the LIPO the the copter after a while there are three white flashes.
In the manual they say : attitude status bad.
???????????
This happens before i start the motors.

What does that really mean and what can I do to eliminate this problem ?
With three white flashes I cannot liftoff because the copter tries to flip un its back.

To DJI : Please answer to this porblem.

when you see that it should catch your eye, when you see it happen over and over, you want to land. i had a f550 that liked to do this and i'm 99% sure it had something to do with the 1280 video system on it.

I'm with Kloner.
I think it means that the IMU has interference.
Post some photos of the aircraft.
We used to recommend mounting the IMU between the center frames on our kits, but found that the motor wires in close proximity to the IMU caused interference (White Flashes).
I have also heard that RX or Video TX too close to the IMU can cause the same.
We now recommend putting the IMU on top of the top frame & this has eliminated any problems.
