= Step 4 - Switch ON the Kopter =
== Requirement ==
 * '''Step3''' has been read.
 
== Supply Kopter with voltage ==
{{{#!wiki tip
'''Tip 1'''

- The Kopter should stand on a stable and even ground. <<BR>>
- A sticker on the buzzer will reduce the volume of the "beeps". This is sparing your nerves during error messages ;-)<<BR>> 
- For the first test you do not need to have the propeller mounted. <<BR>>
(So in that way you can do motortests without a risk of injury.) 
}}}


{{{#!wiki tip
'''Tip 2'''

You can use for the first startup a stabilized power supply (12V/1,5A). <<BR>>
You can hook up also directly the Lipo. <<BR>><<BR>>

In case of an error (Shortage, soldering defects etc. ) a power supply with current limitation protects the electronic for bigger damage.
}}}
<<BR>><<BR>>

Now turn on '''first the remote control''' and after that supply power to the MikroKopter <<BR>><<BR>>

== Tones after switching ON ==
After the Kopter has been supplied with power all BL-Ctrl's are starting their self-test after a short '''beep''' out of the buzzer.<<BR>>
All motors are "beeping" and moving one time. There is '''no''' specific order in which the BL-Ctrl's are performing their tests.<<BR>>
(INFO: This tests of the BL-Ctrl's with connected motors are been done even if the FlightCtrl is not connected!).<<BR>><<BR>>

Now you should hear different beep-tones out of the buzzer. First at all comes a short "beep" followed by more and longer "beeps".<<BR>>
Is i.e. a '''4S-Lipo''' connected comes after a short "beep" '''4''' a little bit longer  "beeps". <<BR>>
With a connected '''3S Lipo''' comes after a short "beep" '''3''' a little bit longer "beeps".<<BR>><<BR>>

'''Example:''' <<BR>>
On a !QuadroKopter with connected '''4S Lipo''' the "beeping" should be in that way: <<BR>>
||<class="MK_THeader">Switch ON||<class="MK_THeader">BL-Ctrl Test||<class="MK_THeader">Confirmation "beep" + battery detection||
||<:>'''beep'''||<:>'''beep''' (+Motor) - '''beep''' (+Motor) - '''beep''' (+Motor) - '''beep''' (+Motor)||<:>'''beep''' + '''beeeep-beeeep-beeeep-beeeep'''||
<<BR>><<BR>><<BR>>

After those "beep tones" the Kopter should be silent. <<BR>><<BR>>

'''HELP'''

If the Kopter "beeps" continuously in intervals then please read here first: [[fr/Erstinbetriebnahme/Help#Step4-1|{{attachment:symbols/Help.png}}]]<<BR>>
(You can disconnect the Kopter from the power supply/Lipo at that time.)
}}}
<<BR>><<BR>>

== LEDs FlightCtrl ==
The green LED of the Flight-Ctrl should light now, the red LED is OFF and the buzzer is silent. <<BR>><<BR>>

{i} Is the red LED on the !FlightCtrl '''OFF''' and the buzzer beeps continuously in intervals it could be possible <<BR>> that the connected Lipo is empty and should be charged again. Infos about the Lipo's and charging them you can find here: '''[[enLiPo|LiPo]]'''
<<BR>>

== LEDs BL-Ctrl ==
On the BL-Ctrl's each green LED is ON and the red LEDs are OFF.<<BR>><<BR>>

 {i} '''__Exception for HexaKopter and OktoKopter:__''' <<BR>><<BR>>

 At the Kopter only the BL-Ctrl's with the addresses 1-4 should have the green LED on.<<BR>>
  * On a HexaKopter the BL-Ctrl's with the addresses 5+6 the green __and__ the red LED should be permanently ON.
  * On an OktoKopter, the BL-Ctrl's with the addresses 5+6+7+8, the green __and__ the red LED should be permanently ON.
<<BR>>

 '''That is normal.''' The right mixer is not set in the KopterTool.<<BR>>
 If the right mixer is set the green LED of the remaining BL-Ctrl's are ON.<<BR>><<BR>>

 {i} How to set up the mixer in the right way is described on the next and following "Step"-Sides.
<<BR>><<BR>>



<<Anchor(Step4-2)>>
{{{#!wiki tip
'''HELP'''

If on a BL-Ctrl the red LED is __blinking__ or there is no LED ON an error occured. Assistance on how to proceed can be found here: [[fr/Erstinbetriebnahme/Help#Step4-2|{{attachment:symbols/Help.png}}]]
}}}

== LEDs NaviCtrl / GPS ==
If a GPS-System is already mounted the LEDs are lighting as follows: <<BR>>

 * !NaviCtrl '''V2.0''' => green and red LED '''ON'''. 
  * (The red LED goes off after calibrating the compass. This will be described on the following "Step"- Sides.)

 * !NaviCtrl '''V1.1''' + MK3Mag => green and red LED '''ON'''. LED on MK3Mag is '''blinking'''. 
  * (The red LED goes off after calibrating the compass. This will be described on the following "Step"- Sides.)

 * MKGPS V1.0 => LED on the TOP-side lights permanently. After a Satfix this one is blinking.
 * MKGPS V2.1 => LED on the BOTTOM-side lights permanently. LED on the TOP-side lights permanently + flashes after a Satfix.
