8.9 Perform a POWER CYCLE on the X100
P REREQUISITES
● X100 prepared for flight with eBox in ON mode
● Fixed GPS position
● Radio link between GCS and X100
Sometimes it is necessary to reinitialize the X100, e.g. when the airspeed sensor has been
reset. During a POWER CYCLE, the X100 performs the following actions:
● Acquire a new GPS lock.
● Check the elevons and put them in zero position.
● Initialize the internal sensors (airspeed sensor, accelerometers, altitude pressure sensor,
gyros, ...) of the eBox.
● Download the flight plan to your GCS (Horizon).
1 Hold down the CONTROL button until the ON LED has flashed once. The X100 starts a
full reinitialization.
● The initialization of the X100 takes about 25 seconds. In its final steps the aircraft will
move its elevons up and down once.
● Make sure the X100 does not move during initialization.
R ESULT :
The X100 has fully reinitialized and is back in ON mode. On the eBox, the READY LED is lit
and the ON LED is blinking.
