    Hey Guys,
    Left a call with support but I need help ASAP! I am supposed to go test with people today in an hour.

    Anyway updated to the new 4.0.4 firmware and now I get a FAIL message under boot status and a fast blinking red status led. Terminal shows error-code 4. I tried reverting back to previous firmware and it still won't boot.

    If I try to go to the configuration settings everything is blacked out and I can't make any changes. Under the radio tab nothing shows as being received from the Tx.

    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Josh

    Got it working. Appears there may be a bug in the Android app. I was able to connect to the ALTA with my ipad and start the compass calibration and thus allowing it to boot properly.

    Now off to go test.

    Hi Josh:
    Sorry I couldn't respond until it was safely too late for you!

    Yes and late last night my android app updated itself so it looks like it may have been fixed already.
