Evo 1 Will Not Go Into Pairing Mode

[HOTAS]

I have seen controllers that refuse to pair. Don't forget that to initiate successful pairing the controller must first be MATCHED to the aircraft. This assures the frequency and coding is coordinated, Place controller in MATCHING mode by turning the controller on while holding down the Home key. After matching the aircraft, then set the aircraft into pairing mode. Unless the controller is operating in an improper firmware vs the aircraft, it will connect. There is a secondary matching mode enabled with holding down Home and the A button while turning the controller on. Many failures to connect can be cured by remembering to match first.
The matter of controllers operating at a mismatched firmware level vs the aircraft, those controllers that refuse to connect after matching, has yet to be solved as far as I can tell. I have found no way to update just the (disconnected) controller or to clone a controller from a proper FW level controller.

I am going to attempt to try this next time I'm home. I'm currently in the hospital.

I have the original remote that came with my drone.
Thank you so much for your advice. I'll let you know what happens.

Hospitals. Been there. Get well soon, and best of luck with health and the drone.

Yes sir. Thank you. I want to ask you something else since you're here. My Evo will not go into pairing mode. The green light never flashes. Is this a problem?

Also, some folks have talked about updating the firmware without the remote, I've tried but not sure if it's completing after waiting about 30 minutes.

Any other suggestions would be grateful to try.

I experienced this one time with a FW 1.5.8. No slow flash. No pairing flash. It happened out of the blue after many flights and starts. I changed batteries to a fully charged, known good one and that solved the problem. I had read that the defective battery fault (uneven cell) may halt proper startup. That battery had developed this problem (the fix can be found in this forum) but the good battery worked fine. I suppose that If that failed, I'd I rerun the firmware install. I have no other suggestions than that.

Hotas,

I will do this also. I will attempt all troubleshooting tips you offer me. Do you have any additional firmwares available?

Also can you provide me with the best way to update or change the firmware blind without the remote.

Thank you so much again! Will be in contact soon. Don't forget me.

My Evo 1 is sitting in my storage for more than a year now, as I also have the issue of the controller not connecting. Can someone please send me a step by step manual (and the appropriate firmware or files) for getting this fixed at [email protected]
Any help is much appreciated
