Yes....it's all good to go.

I finally found a solution and I wanted to share it with you guys in case it's helpful in the future. I saw a youtube comment about using "traditional mode" in the Tx options in the assistant software. I switched mine from PPM mode to traditional mode and it is no longer locked in failsafe. I...

P.S., the reciever (AR8000) has a periodically flashing red light also.

Nothing was unplugged. Literally the only thing that changed was I resoldered the Aux2 switch, which again works fine according to the Dx8 (endpoints....etc all look good.) I think I've concluded that somehow the Dx8 isn't transmitting. That's why the f550 just sits in failsafe mode and I have...

I thought maybe so..but I've run the binding procedure about 10 times the last several nights. I really thank you guys for your time and suggestions, but this isn't worth my time anymore. I've been trouble shooting for hours each night and I'm finished. Time to set it on the shelf or put it up...

Moving the sticks around in assistant also does nothing...another curiosity item. The copter refuses to recognize the Tx.

What's the best way to reload the software using Assistant? Not surprisingly, it doesn't seem to be responding.

haha yeah....that was my first thought- my battery must be below the failsafe threshhold. But no...it's all good. I'll try wiping the whole thing and starting over tonight. This is ridiculous. It's like changing your oil and then having a tire fall off. It seems completely unrelated. Oh yes...

I'm not sure what the failsafe zone actually should be? But the setup screen has 3 switch positions as you know....the failsafe position currently looks somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd position on the gear slider. This is where it goes when I move the Mix switch to position 1. I messed with...

Hi guys, I checked the settings as instructed above....my Aux 2 switch cycles through all three switch positions without any issues on the Dx8 display. I'm still stumped.

Yes we are talking Naza- V2. But to be clear I'm talking about my aux 2 switch on the Dx8 which sets the IOC to either Disable, Course Lock or Home Lock. My GPS/ATIT/Manual switch works fine....at least it did last time I tried. Thanks again for your response! I'll certainly try your suggestion...

By the way, since it's in failsafe, when I hook it up to the computer there is NO response with the software. It will connect as indicated by the blue light on the software menu screen....but there is no response shown when I adjust anything on the Tx. It's just....stuck in failsafe and that...

Thanks for the welcome! And yes my failsafe is setup on the mix switch (top right back 2 position). "0" is normal and "1" is failsafe. I'm starting it up in the "0" position of course, but I know what you mean about forgetting about it. I've done that a time or two. Your last question is...

Here's the error when I try to enable IOC via the NM app from bluetooth

Here's the issue, which seems pretty bizarre. I recently replaced the three position Aux 2 switch on my DX8 Tx. This switch normally controlls IOC between disabled, course lock and home lock. I soldered the new switch in the aux 2 position and fired everything up to check the function...
