Hey all, I am new to pixhawk and after about a month I have given up trying to put my head through the wall. I have two pixhawk units and each do the same thing so clearly I am setting this thing up incorrectly. If I load arduplane via mission planner and go through the setup wizard I get to the point where I presumably could arm and fly. Unfortunately all the plastic brick of hate and anger does is blink yellow a few times, go to the red and blue for about a second and then back to flashing yellow. The safety switch gives 3 rapid flashes and then a pause. I have slogged the internet for days but all I can come up with is the board is in some sort of fail mode and won't arm. If I hold the arm switch for 5 seconds till its solid red it lets me work the elevens but not the motor [ I've got the pixhawk in a simple flying wing ]. Every video I watch shows the blinking blue "looking for gps lock" state but mine never does that. I am using arduplane 3.7.1, a taranis plus, and an X8R connected via sbus. PLEASE someone with some troubleshooting experience shoot me some help. I can usually work this sort of thing out myself but this unit is too complex and I have no Arduino experience so I'm outa ideas on things to try.
thanks in advance for any help - Dave
