Hey everyone, I am new to drones and in the middle of setting up my first quad. Its a Geprc smart 35 that was purchased without a receiver so I could go ELRS right off the hop. I'm using a Radiomaster Zorro which came with an internal ELRS module and 3 receivers (2 EP1's and 1 EP2).
I have updated the firmware on both the transmitter and the receiver. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to get the transmitter to bind with the receiver when the battery is connected. Anytime you plug in the battery the receiver light turns solid green right away.
The weird part is that if the flight controller is hooked up to the USB cable but the battery is unplugged, It will blink green and bind with my transmitter as it should. It shows connection on the transmitter and I can see all my switches and sticks working as they should in betaflight.
I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on what's going on. Is this a setting in betaflight that's not configured properly, or is it a hardware/installation issue? I'm a bit lost where to start trouble shooting this other then de-soldering and trying one of the other receivers.
