Questions and Answers:

Why does my Beastx Computer Hardware MICROBEAST not initialize and the Status-LED is flashing red?
- S
  Steve CarterAug 1, 2025
  If the MICROBEAST does not initialize and the Status-LED is flashing red, this indicates a sensor failure. Ensure the helicopter remains completely still during the initialization process. Strong winds can shake the helicopter, affecting the sensors, so lay it on its side during initialization. Avoid initializing on vibrating surfaces such as a car hood or trunk with the motor running; turn off the motor. If the sensors are damaged, return the MICROBEAST for repair.

What to do if Beastx Computer Hardware MICROBEAST does not initialize and the Menu LEDs H to N are running up and down?
- G
  gespinozaAug 14, 2025
  If the Menu LEDs H to N are running up and down and the MICROBEAST does not initialize, it indicates that the MICROBEAST is not receiving a valid signal from the receiver. Check the wiring, paying special attention to the polarity of the receiver wires on both ends and ensuring they are correctly plugged in without any vertical offset. If using a 2.4GHz system, verify the transmitter-receiver binding. Also, ensure that the correct receiver type is selected.
