I'm new to advanced drones so I apologise for ignorance.
I received my SD3 Auto with accessory pack and payload system 6 days ago. I have not had any time to fly the drone yet.
Finally had time to read the online manual (v1.4) 3 days ago. I got up to page 23 where it talks about calibrating the joysticks so I decided to do it to familiarise myself with routine.
Prior to the calibration, the controller did not beep.
After completion of the calibration, the controller kept beeping whilst the left LED stayed constantly ON. The manual says it should either flash slowly (success) or keep flashing rapidly and beep (failure). The LED stays on without flashing and a triple beep.
The controller now constantly triple beeps whenever powered on (except when I try to go back into joystick calibration), and the drone is unresponsive. All top switches are in the UP position.
The payload system and the 4K gimbaled camera do not respond to controls.
The controller does receive video and flight information.
The beeping starts the moment the controller is turned on, even before the drone is powered on.
I cannot tell if the controller is actually paired by looking at the screen.
I've looked into pairing the drone, but the manual says I have to plug a jumper into the receiver, but there's no jumper in any of the packaging. The receiver has 2 plugs already plugged in (4 pin plugged into channels 7-10, 3 pin plugged into 7-9). Are one of these the jumper?
I've contacted Swellpro via email, but it's early days without a response yet, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and found a fix.
I've posted a 60 second video of the issue on my facebook:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
