Just tried above to no avail. Aura Lights solid blue slow flashing orange believe means failsafe condition what is failsafe ? The light on the new lemon rx has never come on through all of this. Could I have a "lemon"? I do appreciate your effort to help not sure where to go from here.
Did you update to the latest firmware version??

Bisco, I believe the aura is functioning as it connects and interacts with the configure tool fine. thanks again for help. I may have to just buy another rx will be a spectrum this time. Light has never come on on this lemon. Wish FT was easier to get hold of. That is where I bought them

Try binding the satellite receiver using a normal receiver first in quads many times have to have the satellite bound first then connected to the quad.


Did you try this yet???????? Most satellite receivers will NOT bind on there own need receiver hooked to it for it to bind.

I will have to throw a lemonRX on one of my Aura builds. I've been using FrSky and will have to do a quick swap to do a video of binding.

What TX are you using? I see you are using the LemonRX Rx which I have a bunch of.

He is using a Lemon satellite receiver if I read right.

yeah, I was wondering what TX he's using.
I use the dx6. I am a newbie to rc. problem is that the lemon ,which is wired to the aura physically but the rx does not lite up as it needs to to bind. See my above pictures. so when try to bind "bind fails". Is their a way to get the aura to power up the rx. That seems to be the problem.

Has been a couple of days. Email said a technician , Wes , would get back. Flight test is a very good company I may just be doing some real simple error. Hoping we can figure out with u guys. I live in rural maine no rc folks nearby . yes checked wire from rx to aura for continuity With ohm meter aok.

hopefully they will get back to you soon. you might consider buying the $17. lemon rx on flite test and trying to bind to that

That's been my usual routine, but the Aura never picks up on the receiver, stuck in a state of searching for one.

I wonder if Ro1en ever was able to get it to connect. Seems he hasn't been on the forum since his last post in March. I'd like to know what his solution was.

i am referring to this one. it is a regular rx that the aura replaces. the sat is a different beast altogether.

Thanks for that clarification and sticking with me.

Thinking I could see if the aura would hook up with it. Got to get a remote satellite rx working with the aura need the gryo have been flying lots with simulator 9.5. Paul
