Transmitter binding not working


#1

Hi,

New Pi Zero kit purchased and build at step in the video where you start testing and the first thing is to test the RC binding.

I follow the steps holding down the button on the receiver whilst applying power to the FC and the red LED does start flashing quickly as shown in the video.
I then hold down the binding button on the transmitter whilst i power on, but now my results are different from the video.

The transmitter does say “RX Binding…” however as soon as i turned on the transmitter the fast flashing on the receiver IMMEDIATELY went to slow flashing and stays like that. The Transmitter just sits saying “RX binding” and never completes…

Please help.

I tried it differently by switching both off and putting the transmitter into RX binding more first and then trying turning on the receiver with the little button pressed, however like this the little red light NEVER goes to quick red flashing, if i power down the transmitter i can then try again and i get quick red flashing again but again as soon as i power on the transmitter it changes to slow flashing.

I cannot work out what is wrong, the receiver must be detecting the transmitter otherwise why does it switch to slow flashing but since it is now no longer in binding mode the transmitter never binds…

Please help!!!

Nevermind, I have resolved the problem now. It seems that the behaviour I saw was confirmation of binding complete. I watched this video to find this out:
