Hello everybody,
I set the FBL with external power supply a few days ago (4 Eneloops).
Servos set, all right.
Today I want to connect the HW 100A ... no LED
But the receiver gets power (Sumd)
Do you have an idea?

Hello Tom,
that is sad. Could you please verify if the Status LED flashes exactly when you plug in power?
Did you performed any firmware update previously?
Did you plugged in also a secondary cable? It is just important to not plug it at the ELE/PIT/AIL and SYS ports.
But even if this happened we can fix any problem.
So you do not have to worry about the unit. It will work well again in any case.

When thinking about what the mistake might be,
I later saw the Y cable for telemetry.
That was on the workbench, but not with the Hott integration cable but a patch.
So that was probably my mistake?!
PS: LED is completely dead

Oh, does it mean that cable from the receiver was plugged in to the unit through Y-cable but no HoTT integration cable was used?
If yes, then connection to the SYS port unfortunately caused damage. But we can repair it in one day.
Unfortunately shipping to us is needed.

Yes, I think so.
It was my mistake. I had two y-cable on the bench, one with patch and one with hott integration cable and connected unisense -> receiver -> spirit.
Maybe I was dreaming from my next holidays.
Is it expensive to repair?

Don't worry. It should be around 10 € for the repair. It can be fully fixed and tested in one day once the package will arrive to us.
