If the motor still has not turned on, check the battery life of the drone. If the battery life is low, charge the battery. | |

+ | == Controller Low battery warning even after charging == |
+ | |
+ | ''If you controller is charging ok, e.g. lights indicate its taking charge and increases as such, but when you try to turn on controller the red light blinks to indicate low battery, you need to check two things'' |
+ | |
+ | === Is the battery completely dead === |
+ | |
+ | to do this check, after charging for some time (e.g. 30mins +), on controller click and hold, C1, Photo button and Power - You should see a green/blue light and controller should indicate level of charge. If no charge, likely to be a battery problem, However if 2/3/4 white lights show, the problem is elsewhere. |
+ | |
+ | === Problem elsewhere === |
+ | |
+ | Assuming you have followed above step, The problem is likely with the regulator for the battery charging and release. There is a control unit which regulates the charge to the battery and also the release of charge. Its a 17.4 DC charger, but battery is 8.3v and this is in the design of the controller. |
+ | |
+ | I am not 100% certain on how to fix this, but will come back later to update once resolved. |
== Battery is not charging == |
