Aura Lite, 3 issues with Fying Wing

[kentross81]

I have a standard 2 elevon flying wing and my Taranis X9D with old OpenTx, everything works fine.

Add the Aura Lite, configured for S.BUS, and setup a new model with no radio mixing, and 1 channel for Aura stabilization control- Just like in the videos.

I have 3 issues which may be related?

1) Fast ESC beep on power up, like ESC needs calibration. If I enter Basic Setup Mode on the Aura (both buttons pressed until green flashes) the ESC beeping stops, and upon exiting Basic Setup Mode all is fine. with the throttle.

2) I cannot get the Launch Assist to arm. The switch for setting the stabilization mode of the Aura works (off, horizon, acro) but this fails in all 3 settings. No red blinky!

3) My Aileron, or Elevator correction from the Aura is always backwards. It is correct for manual control, but in Basic Setup Mode or in horizon/acro switch setting) 1 or the other is always wrong. Trying to correct this via the sticks in Basic Setup Mode does not work.

Mine came with v1.21 firmware. I did upgrade it to v1.22. Was this an "oops"?!

Thanks for any feedback, see you at Flite Fest!

I have V1.22 on all of my Auras. No problems with that.

1) Have you tried calibrating the ESC? (make sure you have no props on at this point.) Have the radio on at full throttle, then plug in the battery on the model. Then drop the throttle all the way after you get the ESC beeps.

2) Launch assist not arming could be related to #3. If the elevator or Aileron channel is backwards on the radio, the Aura won't realize you are trying to enable launch mode.

3) We need to have you check the stick configuration in the Aura configuration app. It sounds as if one or more channels is reversed in the radio instead of the aura.

If you can't get it figured out by Flight Fest, we can work on it there. I am in tent camping A2.

Thank you, LitterBug! I'll verify and let you know. Thanks for offering! We'll be in a camper somewhere onsite.
