Guys and Girls, I am hoping someone can shed some light as I am at my wits end with this thing.
I have a Mk Octo (Y-arm version) that has FC2.1 and Navi 1.1. I got it RTF as a training ship before I start flying my SJ8 around. It was flying fine when I got it. I flew it into a tree, got it down and before packing it away, I tested it and it was all fine.
I broke the landing gear in the tree mishap, and since changed that out. I unplugged the receiver, checked the wiring and it was all fine so plugged it back in.
Now several weeks later, I come to fly it again and the motors won't start. I couldn't get it to accept commands for calibrations etc and finally found that the receiver setting in MK tools was for a jetti, when I have a Hitec. I then had it accepting stick inputs to do the calibrations etc, but still no motor start.
I updated all the software to the latest releases, and still no motor start. The input from the stick is working as I can see in Koptertool the changes to the levels from my stick inputs, and all the channels are assigned correctly.
I have set in koptertool to;
1) ignore magnet error on start
2) ignore no GPS lock on start
and some other setting that prevents a motor start (can't remember what it is) so that there should be nothing locking it out.
In Koptertool, I can start each motor individually and all together via the software no problem at all.
All the LED's are Green on BL-CTRL, FC, Navi, MKGPS etc, no reds anywhere.
I tried the new start procedure, both sticks down and right, no avail.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to put a hammer through it soon!!
