Futaba Multiwii not talking….

Post by dusted »

Ok so I am a bit of newbie to this whole multiwii thing and was hoping someone could help me…

I have a Multiwii 2.5 Board connected to a Futaba R2008SB Receiver and Futaba T8j Transmitter.

The two are binded as I have checked on a DJI unit I have here but when the reciever is plugged into the multiwii there is only a red flashing light.
Opening Multiwii GUI I can see all the settings for the copter the live view of the roll and pitch are working etc etc just there is no feedback for the
RX and TX..

I have reversed trottle and pitch as people mention and also increased all the end points to 125 on the hand unit, but still no love….

Hope this is enough info to get started :?:

Is the receiver getting power from the FC?

Do you have a small servo to plug into a receiver channel just to verify the receiver is outputting the correct PPM pulses?

I've gotten a little bit further, supplier sent the arduino sketch I reloaded it and it all seemed fine when connected to USB.

As soon as I plugged the battery in its like it wipes the board or something?

Receiver goes back to flashing red and settings in multiwii GUI don't show
