    tracker not tracking...locked up and spinning.

    I am going to post this here as well...
    tracker not tracking...locked up and spinning.


    Tracker not tracking.
    Well, I got everything working for the OSD and the video looks great.
    But, I did not have the audio hooked to the correct channel.
    I now have the osd audio out going to the right channel of my VTX. and I can hear the signal. I hooked up a different VRX and a monitor so I could hear and see what is coming through. Now I can hear the signal.

    So... without the audio connected to the vtx the tracker points north, and the antenna points at the sky. Just like it should… But the yellow light does not blink.
    When I add the audio, the antenna points horizontal and the tracker starts spinning slowly. It will not stop until I pull the power.

    I have tried lowered the volume going into the VTX, using resister. No effect.
    I have tried adding the audio after everything else. No effect.
    The lights on the tracker are never the same when it starts spinning and locks up.

    What Now??

    Here is a video
    Later,

    Indoor tests with a tracker totally invalidates your testing. Can you do it outside?

    Please remove your VTX, using this way to confirm if the AAT work fine

    Got it, Thanks! I had to swap the Blue & Green wires on the GPS. It was weird, I was still getting GPS data on my EZOSD and that was throwing me off. Works like a charm now.
