Ok, this one just has to be a lemon.
This was the same controller I had trouble booting. After getting the recent firmware loaded I started to set up my radio.
I have this set up on a TBS Discovery frame that I bought used. Once I started looking at the receiver section of the Baseflight program, I noticed that I had aileron input controlling both the Aileron and Elevator. First thing I started to do was check out my receiver wiring. Next was the breakout cable from the TBS board to the control board. Adding to the frustration was the issue of not getting a green "Armed" indication when ever I switch the function switch to the proper condition.
I even tried to feed the receiver Aux channel to the Aux 3 and Aux 4 inputs on the control board and still never got the NAZE to arm.
I then ripped the NAZE Acro out of my 230 quad and connected it in place of the NAZE Full. I now get seperate Aileron and Elevator control and also can trigger the "Armed" condition as expected.
This eliminated my TBS board, receiver, cable connections and transmitter from being the source of the problem.
Being disgusted and not wanting to buy another, I bit the bullet and purchased a second NAZE32 Full.
That being the case, last night I took the failing NAZE 32 Full under the microscope and saw that the first component after the RX input pins had the Aileron and Elevator legs shorted by a small blob of solder. Between pins 1 & 2 and again on the opposite side of the chip between pins 7 & 8. I picked away the solder and reflowed the legs to assure there was no solder bridging the separation.
Mounted it back on the TBS frame and I now have independent Aileron and Elevator channels.
Sad part, still no way to get it into an armed condition.
Any suggestions before this board goes into the garbage?
