What to do if Freefly ALTA motors will not stop?
If the motors on your Freefly Drones won't stop, make sure that the ALTA Mode Switch is in the Manual position and the ALTA Arm Enable Switch is on Allow Disarm.
What to do if I get a GPS Warning on Freefly Drones?
If you are receiving a GPS warning on your Freefly Drones, check the GPS/Compass unit wiring for damage, as the GPS/Compass Unit may have become disconnected.
What to do if my Freefly Drones ALTA will not arm?
If your Freefly Drones ALTA won't arm, there are several potential causes: * Ensure the Home Switch is in the middle position. * Verify the Mode Switch is set to manual. * Confirm the Arm Enable Switch is set to Allow Arm. * Check that the radio is properly bound by following the radio controller manufacturer’s binding procedure. * Ensure the radio is mapped correctly by checking the ALTA App radio mapping charts and adjusting as necessary. * If the SYNAPSE boot was unsuccessful, power cycle the ALTA, ensuring it remains still during boot. If movement is necessary (e.g., on a moving platform), use Motion Booting.
Why is my Freefly Drones ALTA circling in Position Mode?
If your Freefly Drones ALTA circles a point in Position Mode, the issue might stem from: an invalid compass calibration, so recalibrate the compass; or Position Hold tuning values that are too high, so reduce these values, starting with Position Hold Strength.
Why Freefly Drones ALTA does not track straight in Position Mode?
If your Freefly Drones ALTA does not track straight in Position Mode, the compass calibration might be invalid. Perform a manual compass calibration to resolve this.
How to fix Compass Warning on Freefly ALTA?
If you're getting a compass warning on your Freefly Drones, it could be due to a missing microSD card, so check the microSD card is installed. Alternatively, the compass calibration may be invalid, so recalibrate the compass.
How to troubleshoot unexpected flight behavior of Freefly Drones?
If you observe unexpected flight behavior with your Freefly Drones, it could be due to tuning values being either too high or too low. Try reverting the tuning to the last known working configuration or setting the tuning back to default values.
Why Freefly Drones ALTA does not maintain level pitch or roll?
If your Freefly Drones ALTA does not maintain level pitch or roll, use the ALTA app to set the appropriate pitch and roll trim, as the Pitch or Roll Trim position may not be set.
Why Freefly Drones ALTA does not maintain heading?
If your Freefly Drones ALTA does not maintain heading, re-initialize SYNAPSE while keeping ALTA stationary in all directions, as ALTA yaw during boot.
What to do if Freefly Quadcopters motors will not stop?
If your Freefly Quadcopter motors won't stop, ensure the ALTA Mode Switch is in the Manual position and the Arm Enable Switch is set to Allow Disarm.
