[SOLVED] CF2 shutdown after connecting

[zamster201]

Got a CF 2 for Christmas. It worked with the android app (had major issues trying to get it of the ground - another topic) I was trying to set it up to use a computer - based controller and tried to attach with the VM but discovered I needed the the CR PA for that to work. Now, when I power on the CF (M2 and M3 are solid blue. M1 blinks red ~ 2X a sec) and connect with the android app (M4 is green) and and then increase the thrust the props begin to turn and then all the LEDs go out and the CF is dead. Interestingly enough, it works okay when connected to USB but that obviously is not a solution. Ideas ?

I was able to connect via USB to the CF and flashed the firmware. Now it seems to worl okay. I'm having trouble controlling but can't connect via the VM / CF Client to check current settings. Working on that next ...

Good to hear you got the firmware updated. The shutdown with thrust increase was a known issue with earlier firmware versions and the fix was to update. As far as connecting with the client in the VM, what behavior are you seeing? What is the host OS you're using for the VM?
