Dear FPV experts,
I need some help with my first bind and fly FPV whoop that after viewing bilions of youtubes from all the fpv building gods and hours on velocidrone i finaly bought.
A nice geprc cinelog 25 with GEP-F411-20A, Vista polar and crossfire nano.
The 1st thing i noticed when plugging in a lipo was a wierd startup beep routine i have not heard before on any youtube and nothing like the normal ESC beeps.
I bound crossfire without issues to my TBS TANGO 2 and get telemetry data. Lights up green when connected on tango and crossfire chip.
I have no goggles yet , but could connect via usb to the vista and upgrade the firmware. All good sofar.
But i can not in any way seem to connect the FC to a computer (mac/windows) so i can set my switches up via betaflight configurator. Tried 100 cables and eventualy bought a super expensive 480Mbs/60w rated cable but it made no difference. (direct no hub connection to avoid these issues)
I dont see any activity in the windows device manager (no new or changed devices) on windows computers (with drivers installed) or on a mac in the /dev/* .
When i connect the usb the drone gets power as crossfire connects nicely.
Tried to connect it while pressing the boot button on the controller to see if dfu connects work, but no game. No difference if lipo is connected or not.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on and if these beeps give any hints on what is the issue ?
Any troubleshooting hints
Already send a mail to geprc support , but that may take a while i guess so my hopes are more here ;-)
Thanks for any advice for a (technical fluent bit still fpv ) newby.
p.s. A side but important question, do you think this is something fixable or do i need to send it back eventualy (have only a few days to send it back)
Edit: replaced the attached zipped audio file with a direct link to the m4a file on my own cloud server . Zip's are scary these days and was not thinking about that while i added it. Sorry ..
