page under translation, please be patient

Representation in the virtual display:

Representation on the Jeti Box:

1 "FC not compatible "

Cause: The Flight Control software is not compatible to the software version of the NaviControl.

Solution:

• Software-Update

2 "MK3Mag not compatible "

Cause: The software of the MK3MAG is not compatible with the software version of the NaviControl.

Solution:

• Software-Update

3 "no FC communication "

Cause: The NaviControl has no communication with the Flight Control

Solution:

• Check the resistance (tr. note: with a multimeter) of connections (6-pins AND 10-pins flat cables) and the solder points on the pads

4 "no compass communication "

Cause: The NaviControl has no communication with the compass

Solution:

• Test the connection
• MK3Mag: The green LED on the MK3MAG must be lit or flashing

5 "no GPS communication "

Cause: The NC has no communication to the GPS

Solution:

• Check connection
• The green LED on the MKGPS must be on or flashing

• If you use a new MK-GPS-Module (LEA-6S-0-001), the NC-firmware mus be at least V0.26g NC 0.26

6 "bad compass value"

Cause: The compass-value is invalide

Solution:

• Calibrate the MK3Mag

• if the Error occures during flight or if the compass was already calibrated: Then the magnet-sensor might have a problem and you should contact HiSystems

7 "RC Signal lost "

Cause: No RC-Signal

Solution:

• turn on transmitter
• check channel or binding

• check receiver setting in the KopterTool

8 "FC spi rx error "

Cause: the NC has noch communication via SPI to the FC

Solution:

• Check the SPI connection (6-pole and 10-pole ribbon cable) and the pins on FC and NC

9: "ERR: no NC communication"

Cause: The communication between FC and NC was suddenly interrupted

Solution:

• Check the flat cabled between FC and NC

10 "ERR: FC Nick Gyro"

Cause: the analoque sgyro ensor signal is not in the expected range during calibration (between 150 and 850)

The value is shown in the virtual display in brackets (xx)

Solution:

• calibrate sensors again
• check the soldered connections on the Gyro

11 "ERR: FC Roll Gyro"

Cause: the analoque gyro sensor signal is not in the expected range during calibration (between 150 and 850)

The value is shown in the virtual display in brackets (xx)

Solution:

• calibrate sensors again
• check the soldered connections on the Gyro

12 "ERR: FC Yaw Gyro"

Cause: the analoque gyro sensor signal is not in the expected range during calibration (between 150 and 850)

The value is shown in the virtual display in brackets (xx)

Solution:

• calibrate sensors again
• check the soldered connections on the Gyro

13 "ERR: FC Nick ACC"

Cause: the analoque ACC sensor signal is not in the expected range during calibration (between 150 and 850)

The value is shown in the virtual display in brackets (xx)

Solution:

• calibrate sensors again
• check the soldered connections on the sensor

14 "ERR: FC Roll ACC"

Cause: the analoque ACC sensor signal is not in the expected range during calibration (between 150 and 850)

The value is shown in the virtual display in brackets (xx)

Solution:

• calibrate sensors again
• check the soldered connections on the sensor

15 "ERR: FC Z-ACC"

Cause: the analoque ACC sensor signal is not in the expected range during calibration (between 150 and 850)

The value is shown in the virtual display in brackets (xx)

Solution:

• calibrate sensors again
• check the soldered connections on the sensor

16 "ERR: Pressure sensor"

Cause: the analoque pressure sensor signal is not in the expected range during calibration

The MikroKopter might be in too high altitude above sea level. (more than 1000-1500m)

Solution:

• check connection to the sensor
• was the sensor soldered the wrong way?

• See here: testing the sensor

17 "ERR: FC I2C"

Cause: the I2C communication to the BL-Ctrls is disturbed

Solution:

• check supply of the BL-Ctrls
• check I2C-cables (mixed C and D?)
• check addresses of the BL-Ctrls
• disconnect single BL-Ctrls to find one defective

18 "ERR: Bl Missing"

Cause: one BL-Ctrl was not found, but it is used in the mixer table

Solution:

• check supply of the BL-Ctrls
• check addresses of the BL-Ctrls

• Check the MixerTable

19 "Mixer Error"

Cause: there are more BL-Ctrls connected than expected

Solution:

• Check the MixerTable. Maybe a Hexa is selected in a Okto

20 "FC: Carefree Error"

Cause: The function CareFree is used, but the value of the Mk3Mag is invalid

Solution:

• Check MK3Mag and NC
• Calibrate compass

21 "ERR: GPS lost"

Cause: The GPS-Signal was lost during flight (below 4 Satelites)

22 "ERR: Magnet Error"

Cause: The magnetic field of the compass-sensor is 15% different to the magentic field during calibration.

Solution:

• remove magnetic disturbing source (Cables, Buszzer,...)

• general points to the magnetic disturbtions: here

• Calibrate compass - use the new method!

23 "Motor restart"

• One BL-Controller tries to restart the motor
• motor blocked od defect motor cable

24 "BL Limitation"

• A BL-Controller is in limitation - either overtemperature or overcurrent

25 "Waypoint range"

• The aimed waypoint is out of range and will not be reached
• the distance between Home-Position and the waypoint is larger than 250m (or the max-range of the NC-license)

29 "ERR:Max Altitude"

• in the "SETTINGS.INI" (SD-card in the NC) the parameter "MAX_FLYING_ALT" is set and the altitude is exceeded.
• NC with a commercial license will uses "emergency gas" when the altitude goes 10m above this value to bring it back into the allowed range.
• set this parameter to zero if it is not needed

30 "No GPS Fix"

31 "compass not calibrated"

• The magnet sensor on the NC s not calibrated
• (Not for MK3Mag)

32 "BL Selftest error"

• One BL-Ctrl reports a selftest error

33 "no ext. compass"

• invalid answer of the external compass
• check cable to the magnet sensor
• the flat cable on "Debug" might be too long

• the magnet sensor value is invalid
• the sensor might be defective

35 "FAILSAFE pos.! "

• The MK flies to a Failsafe-Position instead of ComingHome

• Undervoltage or RC-Lost and a Failsafe-Position is programmed

36 "ERR:Redundancy "

• Only for Redundant setups: Redundancy is not working

37 "Redundancy test "

• Only for Redundant setups: The Test-Switch is in "Test" position -> the slave controls the MK

38 "GPS Update rate"

• The update rate of the GPS module went below a critical value

39 "ERR:Canbus"

• Canbus error (only if canbus is used)
• check Canbus connection between Master/Slave

40 "ERR: 5V RC-Supply"

• The 5V supply to external components is missing

41 "ERR:Power-Supply"

• The power supply is below 5V

42 "ACC not calibr."

• ACC not yet calibrated

43 "ERR:Parachute!"

• the input for the parachute function was closed -> the MK switches off

44 "ERR:Outside Flyzone

• The MK is outside the defined Flyzone

45 "ERR:No Flyzone

• The flyzone is not downloaded into Kopter
• The flyzone is defined by the Waypoint list
• in the settings, the option "No flight without Flyzone" is activated

46 "ERR:Calibration"
