Hello I'm having an issue with the aura 5 light board set up. I'm using spectrum DX9 with an orange RX satellite receiver. I've bound the radio to the Rx and Have done power cycle both on the radio and receiver. When powered on the aura board and orange RX both have a solid orange light and the transmitter has no control over any control surfaces. No throttle no nothing just the orange solid light on the aura board and orange rx. I've tried rebinding multiple times each time the DX9 says binding complete I do a power cycle and then same problem No controls. Please help

Yes I have checked several times. It should have a green led along with the orange led however it does not... No TX input

Did you see this note on the store about lemonrx and binding?

NOTE FOR LEMONRX USERS. HOLD THE BIND BUTTON WHILE POWERING ON TO PUT THE RX INTO BIND MODE**

The aura and flight controls works perfectly hooked up via ibus on an FSIA6B RX and an FSI6X TX... But cannot get it to work with the orange RX, 3 pin Satellite connector and the DX8.....??

Did you try and bind the satellite receiver using a regular receiver then plug the satellite into the aura?

No, I have not.. That is a good idea! I will try that, thank you, I've been over analyzing this and never thought of this simple idea, again thank you!

old thread:

has anyone found a solution?

i purchased 3 power packs from FT with aura board for each.

one worked exactly as instructions showed.

one flat out never worked, it would bind, go thru setup, you could save, everything appeared to work , but no planes would fly with it (tried about 10 planes total-destroying all being told it was a learning curve and all issues were mistakes i made). my last attempt with this pack I got a plane in the air, it was like a brick, it climbed though so I thought get altitude and start trimming. it had zero steering and i lost the entire plane somewhere in a neighborhood near by. space i was flying in was about 4 football fields and i could not turn in that much space, by the time I realized how hopeless the situation was i was over houses trying to figure out any way to turn. plane flew and flew and flew straight until it was a small dot then violently nosed dived never to be found.

the 3rd is doing exactly what OP is describing. I get orange light, cc2500 says it binds, says telemetry recovered, or if i get to close telemetry lost, but no green light and no controls. i have been working on this since before Christmas, its February 8th…i am so discouraged but have like $750 of FT gear…really…really…really trying to make this work. Yes, i have emailed directly with FT (100% refusing refund or exchange-have sent over 100 emails to FT trouble shooting).

is the aura board really just a piece of junk without enough R&D? i have done an extensive amount of R&D and thats exactly what this feels like. i have tried using the one R88 receiver from the pack that does work and it does not work with the aura board I am having issues with, so it is definitely confined to the aura board.

thanks for any help and any thoughts anyone has on this.
