    Hello, I have a four starling 2 drones, but I’ve not been able to fly any simply because I’ve not been able to bind my controllers to them. I initially got an orqa FPV controller, now I have a commando 8 elrs transmitter, I still can’t bind it. Can you kindly assist. Also my elrs LED on my drone keeps blinking between blue and pink, i think it’s not going into binding mode, despite using the command voxl-elrs —bind.

    Thank you for your help.
    Best,
    Taiwo

    @taiwohazeez What is the SKU of your drone? voxl-inspect-sku

    Do you know what receiver is on your drone? Ghost and ELRS would require different receivers

        @taiwohazeez Have you reviewed this doc?

        You'll have to use the Orqa FPV controller, an ELRS commando will be incompatible with this receiver

              @taiwohazeez Are they also equipped with Ghost receivers?

                      @tom sorry to bother you once more, i got one more drone binded, but it refuses to get armed. I noticed that the ESC led (blue) isn't coming on. Do you have any suggestions?

                      Thanks.

                          @taiwohazeez I recommend connecting the drone to QGroundControl via WiFi and then seeing what PX4 pre-arm checks are failing

                              @taiwohazeez No problem, it would also be helpful to know what SDK version is loaded on your drone. You can check this with voxl-version
