I have a newly bought stock FPV Quad from Jdrones.
store.jdrones.com/jDrones_FPV_Qu … ffpvq1.htm
The board is a Arduino Mega 2560
Using the recommended WFLY WFT-09 with the FrSky DFT telemetry and FrSky D8R-ii plus .
Can you clarify which is the receiver and which is the transmitter, and the correct binding procedure. I am finding the documentation on these devices to be a bit thin and i think it contradicts itself.
The Wfly wft09 is communicating with the Quad but it will not arm. The “ESC Calibration” procedure is successful and the “Radio Setup” using the Mission Planner is also successful (see below for details).
Is there a full schematic for the WFT09?
What are the standard operations from each of the switches?
Which one is the Flight Mode switch? F?
The cable from the Quad to the computer is good since it connected in the past. Now I can only load the firm ware.
Do i need to load the firmware every time i try to connect?
My configuration and procedure is . . . .
Arduino Mega 2560 (com3) is listed in my “Devices and Printers” control panel in Windows 8.
Port Settings are
bits/sec = 9600 i know it should be 115200 but when I change it it does not stay and reverts back to 9600
Data bits =8
Parity = none
Stop bits = 1
Flow control = none
The advanced settings button returns an error message saying I “must have write privileges in the registry for this device in order to modify the devices advanced settings”
I click on ArduCopter V3.0.1 in version 1.2.62 of the mission planner and it asks if I want to upload the arducopter.
It appears to upload 220168 bytes to apm board:2560-2.

OK.
Done.

All right then good luck.
Thanks so much for the help.
