Issue: Reset Level Flight doesn’t seem to work.
Solution: Make sure the Guardian is mounted approximately level. Mounting offsets in excess of 25 degrees from flat or upside-down can reduce performance and will
cause the Reset Level Flight to fail.
Solution: Make sure the endpoints of the switch you are using with the Mode input are configured to approximately -100%, 100%. This is required for the Reset Level
Flight and other Mode switch Configuration Gestures to work correctly.
Issue: My servos are getting stripped or are burning out due to excessive deflection.
Solutions:
•
Reduce the gains on the channels that are experiencing too much deflection. This reduces both load and deflection.
•
Use the Custom Servo Ranges option in the PC App to specify limits to the servo deflections. When properly configured, this guarantees that the servos will not
bind or deflect beyond their engineered limits.
Issue: In the PC software, the Artificial Horizon Indicator (AHI) display is not correctly showing level, even when my model is sitting level on the table.
Solution: The AHI will not show true level if the Guardian is in 3D mode. In this mode, the AHI shows level based on the last time 3D lock was invoked (stick
centered). Please switch the Guardian to 2D mode if you want the AHI to show true level.
Issue: When I increase the Gain on the Guardian, I see one or more control surfaces move, even though my model is level.
Solution: This can happen if the Guardian does not know your latest trim settings. Make sure you perform the “Reset Level Flight and Trims” or “Reset Level Trims”
operation (described above) each time you change your model’s trim settings.
Issue: My USB cable does not fit well in the Guardian’s USB connector.
Solution: We have received a few reports of tight-fitting USB cables. The Micro-B USB cable sold by Eagle Tree fits correctly, and we’ve also observed that Kindle
TM
USB cables and the mobile phone USB cables we have tested in-house fit well also. Note that “mini” USB cables will not fit!
Regulatory
