PIXHAWK Failing Internal checks

Thanks for the reply
Trouble is its Giving all sorts of random errors at the moment
Take you pick from the following
Bad GPS Health
Compass errors
Then suddenly it all started working OK but will now not arm even though if I take it outside the status light changes to a flashing green
Arm button is pressed with solid red light but when I move the throttle/YAW stick to lower right to arm it eventually gives two load beeps but will not arm. Not got a video link outside so cannot see any error message that might be displayed.
Not got my wireless link up and running yet, that should be he in a day or 2 so hope to see more info once its outside and connected wirelessly rather than on the window ledge and a USB connection.
Its driving me nuts though as at the moment i can't decide if it faulty or if I am doing something stoopid which is possible as to be honest I am too old to be trying something new and complicated.
Should have stuck to the KK2 at least I understood those things and their limitations.
And the initial problem giving the flashing yellow lights has also gone away for now, only to wait until I fool myself I have it all working.

Sometimes, there are a few stumbling blocks. Do some reading about Mission Planner setup. There is a way to turn off the pre-arm checks. But in my opinion, they are there for a reason. I live under a giant tree canopy, and sometimes turn off the GPS pre-arm check. I also had a flashing yellow on my Y6, the other day. Brought it inside, connected to Mission Planner, and got a message that the compass was out of wack. THEN, I remembered I had sat it over night, next to my power backup system, for my flat screen TV. I think that messed up the compass. I re-calibrated, and everything was fine. If you do not have the 3DR radio setup, it is almost impossible to get a good compass calibration, with a wire connected to the computer. Too many turns, flips, rolls, etc. etc. to do.
