No red and green lights when starting cf

Post by Mitteau »

Hi
Not long ago, a new problem appears: when I start cf, M1 red light does not light up.
How can I know if it is a hardware problem or a software one.

Hi,
You can flash a stock firmware and connect with the client, if the console reports that the system is started correctly, you start getting attitude telemetry, and the M3 red led is not blinking, then it would look like a hardware problem.

If you can send a photo of the LED in question we might be able to see if there is anything that looks wrong with it or the soldering around it.

Hi
This is the photo:

Everything looks OK, I think.
I planned to reinstall the whole firmware. Unfortunately, the solders of the usb connector of my cf are broken. Not long ago, I could only fly by changing the battery. So, to reinstall firmware, I think I have to use a JTag system.... But I don't know how to do. I have the JTag microcircuit to connect to the cf, but I have to buy an USB connection cable. Would you have a precise reference?
Is it possible to get people to repair my breadboard?
