Hello everyone,
I have tried to search for this issue online but have not found the answer. I have been using pixhawk and ardupilot for more than 10 years so i am pretty experienced.
The problem here is at initialization of the pixhawk CubeOrangePlus running Arducopter 4.5.3.
When providing power, most of the time it initializes correctly but about 20-30% of the times it gets stuck and does not initalize, i just see the Here4 GPS LEDs flashing fast Yellow, Green and Purple.
I tried looking for that sequence here: LEDs Meaning — Copter documentation but did not find it.
Before arducopter 4.5 the initalization LEDs were RED/BLUE and i never had this problem before.
I have tried to remove all peripherals but still sometimes get this problem of ArduCopter not initializing.
MY SETUP:
- Pixhawk 2.1 ADSB with CubeOrangePlus
- Here4 GPS
- Powered from a 5amp power supply to POWER1 and to the rail to provide power to a single small servo for parachute
I HAVE 2 IDENTICAL SETUPS, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ON BOTH
MY QUESTIONS:
1 - Is this LED sequence normal for initialization in ArduCoper 4.5.3? I did not find it documented anywhere
2 - Did the process of initialization change recently in the code?
3 - Is there a way to “relax” the parameters to always pass initalization or something?
4 - Has anyone found this behavior on the same setup?
THANK YOU all for your time.
