First check in the KopterTool

Depending on which Kopter is connected (Quadro, Hexa or Okto) the displays of the KopterTool are different in the virtual display.

Below of the virtual display is also a status indicator. Here you can determine quickly if everything is OK (green status indicator) or if there is an error (red status indicator).
Is a status indicator red another button appears next to it "Details..." . One "click" on the button tells you more about the possible error.
It should be your target to have all indicators on green.

The displays for a QuadroKopter should be in that way as shown in the examples under: View QuadroKopter.

If you have a HexaKopter or OktoKopter connected it should be in that way as shown in the examples under: View of HexaKopter or OktoKopter.

View QuadroKopter

The FlightCtrl has as a standard mixer the "Quadro" set up. If you have now a QuadroKopter connected the display in the KopterTool should be in that way:

Example View KopterTool V1.76b: Only FlightCtrl mounted on the Kopter	Example View KopterTool V1.76b: FlightCtrl and NaviCtrl V2.0 mounted	Example View KopterTool V1.76b: FlightCtrl, NaviCtrl V1.1, MK3Mag mounted

This display shows: All OK FlightCtrl V2.1 (HW:2.1) Software Version 0.86d Active Setting: 3 Set up Mixer: Quadro Status display FlightCtrl: green Status display BL-Ctrl: green Status display NaviCtrl: not active (not connected) Status display Compass: not active (not connected)	This display shows: Almost all OK NaviCtrl V2.0 (HW:2.0) Software Version 0.26f Error:6 / "bad compass value" (Error: Compass not calibrated) Status display FlightCtrl: green Status display BL-Ctrl: green Status display NaviCtrl: green Status display Compass: red	This display shows: Almost all OK NaviCtrl V1.1 (HW:1.1) Software Version 0.26f Error:22 / "Magnet error" (Error: Compass not calibrated) Status display FlightCtrl: green Status display BL-Ctrl: green Status display NaviCtrl: red Status display Compass: red

Only FlightCtrl on the QuadroKopter:
All Status displays are on green = ALL is OK.

FlightCtrl + GPS-System on the QuadroKopter:
Red Status display shows us that something is not OK.
Here now and depending on the used NaviCtrl a bad compass value or a Magnet error will be displayed.

Getting the information Magnet error you should click on the button Details....
If here is as an error a missing compass calibration indicated you must, as well as with a bad compass value, calibrate the compass.

Just only calibrate the compass, an error is not indicated.
Before the compass is calibrated, however, a few other settings are required.
How that works is written in a different Step further down the road.

With each new NaviCtrl V2.0 (or MK3Mag) the compass is still not calibrated. For that reason an error message with a red status display is shown.

HELP

If a different error (i.e. I2C error) is shown in the virtual display please first read here:
(The Kopter can be disconnected from the power supply/Lipo for that time.)

Everything OK so far? Then it continues here:

View HexaKopter or OktoKopter

If a HexaKopter or OktoKopter is connected the actual set up standard mixer "Quadro" shows you the first 4 BL-Ctrl's but not the other ones.
The display in the KopterTool looks in that way:

Example View KopterTool V1.76b: Only FlightCtrl mounted on the Kopter	Example View KopterTool V1.76b: FlightCtrl and NaviCtrl V2.0 mounted	Example View KopterTool V1.76b: FlightCtrl, NaviCtrl V1.1, MK3Mag mounted

This display shows: Almost all OK FlightCtrl V2.1 (HW:2.1) Software Version 0.86d Active Setting: 3 Setup Mixer: Quadro Status display FlightCtrl: red Status display BL-Ctrl: green Status display NaviCtrl + Compass: not active (connected) One "click" on the Button "Details..." shows you that the mixer needs a set up. (After that, all status displays are green = ALL OK)	This display shows: Almost all OK NaviCtrl V2.0 (HW:2.0) Software Version 0.26f Error:19 / "Mixer Error" Status display BL-Ctrl + NaviCtrl: green Status display FlightCtrl + Compass: red One "click" on the Button "Details..." shows you that the mixer needs a set up. After the mixer is set up correctly, just only the status display "Compass" is red. Here you need to calibrate the compass to get all indicators on "green".	This display shows: Almost all OK NaviCtrl V1.1 (HW:1.1) Software Version 0.26f Error:22 / "Mixer error" Status display FlightCtrl: red Status display BL-Ctrl + NaviCtrl + Compass: green One "click" on the Button "Details..." shows you that the mixer need to be set up. After the mixer is set up the Status display "Compass" is on red. Here you need to calibrate the compass to get all status indicators on "green".

Nur FlightCtrl auf dem Hexa- oder OktoKopter:
Da der voreingestellten "Quadro"-Mixer nur die ersten 4 BL-Ctrl anzeigt und die restlichen BL-Ctrl des Hexa- oder OktoKopter nicht,
wird hier ein Mixer Error angezeigt. Wird der richtige Mixer für Hexa oder Okto eingestellt, ist wieder alles OK.

FlightCtrl + GPS-System auf dem Hexa- oder OktoKopter:
Auch hier zeigt der voreingestellten "Quadro"-Mixer nur die ersten 4 BL-Ctrl an und die restlichen BL-Ctrl des Hexa- oder OktoKopter nicht.
Wird der richtige Mixer für Hexa oder Okto eingestellt, ist wieder alles OK.
Wie dies geht ist in einem späteren Step beschrieben.

Bei jeder neuen NaviCtrl V2.0 (oder dem MK3Mag) ist der Kompass noch nicht kalibriert. Daher wird hier auch eine Fehlermeldung in Form der roten Statusanzeigen angezeigt.
Daher wird hier nach dem richtigen Einstellen des Mixers die fehlende Kompasskalibrierung angezeigt.
Wie dies geht ist in einem späteren Step beschrieben.

Alles OK? Dann geht es hier weiter:
