s800 EVO landing gear not retracting ?

[Damo1980]

I have an S800 EVO. The landing gear was working on previous flights. I had it hooked up to the computer to check the A2 flight controller settings yesterday. Went to do a test flight today and the landing gear would not retract??. Ive again hooked it up to the A2 flight controller on the computer and the switch is moving the blue light from up to down but the gear is not moving. All cables are correctly connected. Any ideas what the problem could be ??.

Have you switched it into intelligent by mistake? I.e it won';t retract until it is at a certain hight?

It was in intelligence mode previously when it worked. I have now turned that off to try it at home but I';m getting nothing.???

Sorry I';m stumped if cables are all in correctly and it';s working in the A2 software? I had a problem with mine, only 1 leg would retract it turned out to be a dodgy servo but I can';t imagine both of your servos going down at the same time. Sorry I can';t be any more help.

Ive now got it sorted. For anyone who has this problem please try this first before spending money on a new servo. Elevate your UAS so that the landing gear is free to move.

1. Makesure the battery is Unplugged and the TX is on.

2. On the landing gear there is a tiny hole next to the servo cables. Press that and hold whilst you plug the battery in.

3. The little light next where the tiny hole is should turn yellow.

4. The legs should do a cycle of some sort.

5. The light should turn solid green and then you should be able to use you gear switch on your TX.
