    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

        @tom SKU : MRB-D0014-4-V1-C27-T9-M0-X0

        From the invoice, I can see Ghost Atto 2.4Ghz
        Thanks

          @taiwohazeez Have you reviewed this doc?

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

              @tom thank you for your help, I was able to bind two of my drones, but the other two keep saying unknown RX. Can you assist me with that ?

              Thanks

                        @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
