It's wired the way the pics show it. It's set to ppm. Everything is the way the instructions show it. I have been over this thing countless times.

What LED indications are you geting on the Dragon Link transmitter ?? Also, what kind of RC Transmitter are you using ?? Can you post a picture for us so we can help you figure this out.

No worries, its probably just a simple mistake in wiring. I personally test every Dragon TX and RX before it is sent out, but anything is possible when dealing with electronics. If your Dragon LInk has gone bad, no worries, we will replace it with a new one right away !!!

It is a futaba t9cap. If I hold the bind button down it turns green for half a sec then it turns solid red and that's it. Doesn't flash or anything. I have set it up just like the instructions say. Here is a pic of the front with the dragon link in the back. This is what it looks like after I try and bind it.

Here is a pic of the its wires in the back. I tried just attaching the wires without the plug to make sure it was getting a good connection. I also put the resistor on to see if that was the problem but didn't make a difference.

The instructions say it suppose to flash orange but mine is flashing fast green and no power to the receiver. So I have to ask the guy I bought the plane from to figure that out I guess.

The firmware before the current one, which mine is, Flashing Green is bind,
Flashing Red/Green is calibrate, No light is ID change.

Wow, I was going to tell him that, but everyone beat me to it... You guys do not miss anything

I am glad you got it working. For binding, you must hold down the button for 3 - 8 seconds on the latest firmware which will be flashing yellow. If you are getting a flashing GREEN LED, you are in micro power range test mode. If you do not have the latest firmware, then binding mode may be first, try both of the modes if you are not sure and see if it binds.

I sent a package of a V1 TX, and 4 RXs for upgrade and repair on 12 October, from Port Melbourne, Australia, and paid the Paypal return postage on the same day. The package is reported to have been delivered to you on 22 October.

Can you please let me know the status of the work, and if/when the items will be sent back.

Thanks

Roger
Hi Roger,

Yes, all upgrades have been completed and retruned. It should arrive down under any day now.
