ERROR: Too far from Home
This message will be displayed if you try to reset the home position
more than about 500 feet (150 meters) from the GPS’s first fix location.
ERROR: too far off level
This message will appear if you invoke the “Record Flat Level Mounting”
function, but the MicroVector is mounted too far off level, or the model is
not presently level enough.
ESC saturation detected!
For multirotors, while trying to respond to your stick movements or
other perturbations, the MicroVector has driven one or more ESCs to its
maximum output. During high speed forward flight, it’s possible that
the amount of thrust needed to keep the multirotor in the air will exceed
the maximum throttle that can be applied to the ESCs. In this scenario,
the message will be displayed.
This message is informational only and does not necessarily indicate an
error condition, although it can be useful to help diagnose unexpected
flight behavior. It may help to think of it in similar terms as Electronic
Traction Control in a car. When displayed, it means that the motors on
your multirotor are reaching the limits of their capability.
Flight Battery Not Detected
The low battery autoland feature has detected that no battery is
connected.This message indicates there was an issue communicating
with either the GPS/MAG, or the pitot speed sensor. If this happens
repeatedly, a cable is loose or damaged, or there’s a power or sensor
problem.For multirotors, while trying to respond to your stick
movements or other perturbations, the MicroVector has driven one or
more ESCs to its maximum output. During high speed forward flight,
it’s possible that the amount of thrust needed to keep the multirotor in

Flip crash detected! Disarmed
If the MicroVector detects that the multirotor has flipped over after a
crash, it will disarm the motors to try to avoid burning them out.
Flyaway detected-Disarming!
The MicroVector has detected an uncontrollable flyaway condition due
to miswiring or bad configuration, and is disarming the motors to avoid
loss of the multirotor.
Freefall detected!!!
This is an informational message that will display if the MicroVector
detects a freefall. This would normally only occur if total loss of motor
power or thrust has occurred, or if the multirotor has been disarmed
during flight.
Gain Knob used but undetected
This message will appear if you configured the gain knob, but the
MicroVector’s gain receiver input is not detecting a signal during
boot.
GPS Status: Awaiting first fix
Indicates that the MicroVector is waiting for the GPS to acquire a fix.
GPS Status: Awaiting 3D fix
Indicates that the MicroVector is waiting for the GPS to acquire a 3D fix.
See GPS Configuration menu.
