Alternating green and red blinks on kosmik?

[Pitch-Itch]

Hey guys, my mostro is flying just fine but after I land most of the time I have alternating red and green blinking lights. I can't find any info on what this might be so I'm hoping someone here knows.

Thanks!

Means a warning during use. Take the card out and open the error.txt file and take a look should be the last entry.

My guess would be getting close to either the temp or amp limit.

Ok I'll check it out. I hope it's not over amp. Don't know what I could do to lower amperage.

It probably isn't over temp. So it's gotta be over amp. If it is I'm lost on what to do. I wasn't even flying that hard today.

Where do you find the error file? All I have on the card are DAT files.

ok then it may just be on the last log file. so open it up in note pad and see if you see any warnings

Opened every log I have from yesterday and I don't have any error codes that I can see at all.

Where would these error logs be? They don't show up in logviewer, and they don't show up in notepad.

Surely someone affiliated with Kontronik has to know where their own logs write to?????

pm me and i will give you my email address so you can send me one of the logs.

The warnings are typically on one of the lines where they occur in the log so open it and do a ctrl-f and search for warning.

Doing the search worked. Man, do they hide the warnings in a sea of text or what?

I am getting overcurrent #2 warning.

Only problem, I have ZERO clue on how to reduce the current levels without limiting how hard I fly.

I don't know what to do from here. My temps are fine. I'm just getting amp spikes (Imot, not Ipeak) of just over 300 amps.

Of course, shortly after the highest current spikes I get the highest temps, which peaked around 70c.

What motor are you using?

Are you running it on fixed or auto timing? KDE motors are known to have large amp draw on pretty much any speed controller.

Auto timing. Should I switch to fixed timing?

That is a way to reduce amps. Or more collective management. which esc is this on a 160? They should have a recommendation on KDE's site about what fixed timing to run it on.

They recommend 5-15 degrees. I guess I will go fixed timing at around 12 degrees and step down from there as needed.
