Hoverfly Sometimes Sport Board Won't Arm

[Aerovideo]

I've got a quad that has a sport board in it. A couple of times now when I try to arm it, the board does the first beep then starts flashing purple. I looked in the manual but didn't see what kind of error this could be. I replaced it with another sport board and it's worked perfectly.

Anyone know what blinking purple after trying the radio arming sequence means? Is my sport board dying?

Guess I need to submit a ticket for this one

Make sure your throttle radio end points are at the very top and bottom of the range in the setup client. I had a similar problem with HFP - and that seemed to fix the problem.

Hmmm good thought. I wonder if the old firmware on the sport board supports the endpoint adjustments? I don't know if I want to install an old setup client to find out... hehe

Thanks though, I'll check into that.

the end points are controlled from your radio - the results of the adjustments to your radio are evident in the setup client

ie, if you drop your throttle channel endpoint a couple clicks and it stops happening then you fixed it

These things need a way to calibrate to radio to them.... these hf boards got some weird stuff going on even with suggested components, matter of fact only with the parts they recomend.

I had this happen the other day. The problem turned out to be the gain channel was reversed. Once I switched it, it worked fine. Same symptoms as you.

hmmm...well I plopped in another sport board that I have and it fixed the problem as well. to be honest I really don't want to install the old setup client. I wish HF would just update the sport board all ready.
