Bug report

Issue details

Please describe the problem

After installing the stable Ardurover 4.4 firmware, I have the B/E FMU red LED blinking, is there any way to remove the red LED blinking? or know what happens to him. Someone commented in another ISSUU that the color of the LED was assigned incorrectly and the blue one would have to be turned on, but that it was a code issue. Everything is correct ?

Platform [ ] All [ ] AntennaTracker [ ] Copter [ ] Plane [ X ] Rover [ ] Submarine

Airframe type What type of airframe (flying wing, glider, hex, Y6, octa etc)

Logs Please provide a link to any relevant logs that show the issue

I think that in some cases the blinking LED may go away once the calibrations are completed (RC calibration, etc).

nvarona commented 6 months ago

Thanks, I'll look into it, what if I don't have any device plugged into the RC channel to be able to calibrate?

@nvarona,

In general we think it's always a good idea to have an RC transmitter. A joysticks still counts as an RC transmitter though.

nvarona-ied commented 5 months ago

Thanks for the ideas, does that mean that if I don't put an RC transmitter, I will always have the LED's in red? Is there a problem with not having an RC transmitter connected to the Pixhawk?

@nvarona,

If you change some of the RC1_MIN, MAX values then you can probably get the LED to be normal.

The problem with not having an RC transmitter and also no joystick is really safety. Especially for new builds where you've never flown the vehicle before, it's really quite dangerous to have no way for the pilot to quickly retake manual control.

RC transmitters can be quite low cost.. around $50 or so for some models. I really recommend you get one.

In the end I was able to buy a FRSKY XMPlus module and I have it "BIND" with my Taranis flashing the B/E LED of the FMU part. I have also tried it on a pixhawk 6mini and it does the same with the different versions of Ardurover 4.4, although I have version 4.4 Stable on.

I had read that it was possible a development error of turning on the blue LED, and now the red one turns on.

I have noticed that the pixhawk 6c turns on without that red LED and at the end of booting, after the Buzzer sounds, it flashes.

Any more ideas? IMG_20240206_172547
