Hay guys I tried to post this on the hobbyking forum but it wont let me post anything so I figured I would try here. I am having a problem that is so weird I cant understand what is happening. I plug the battery into my newly built quad copter and nothing works except the pitch on the gimbal which works with aux2. The red light is lit on the receiver and like I said the pitch control works for the gimbal so I know my transmitter and receiver are binded and my wire orientation is correct.
Here is where it gets weird, I had the transmitter in ppm but I didnt set the quad up to use ppm so I changed it in the settings of the transmitter to use pcm and now the red light is off on the receiver and nothing works. So I thought thats weird let me put it back into ppm but that did nothing, the red light was still off. I then shut everything off and turned it back on with no light even though it was still in ppm so I switched it into pcm and the red led came on but still nothing works.
I am totally stumped, I tryed a new receiver I know works and it did the same thing, I also tried turning it off in pcm then switching it to ppm and the red light popped on but no control. So it doesnt matter about the mode it is the act of switching it to a new one that gets the led on but no matter what I still dont have any control over anything on the quad not even the gimbal pitch.
