QGC: Failsafe activating upon manual mode arming. Using Pixhawk 6x, Px4, QGroundControl

QGroundControl
1

I am using a Pixhawk 6x w/ PX4 in QGroundControl. This is my second time building a drone, this version is basically a copy of my first one.

I am communicating with my FC directly through a USB from my PC. For manual control, I am using a FlySky controller that is plugged into my PC.

I have done all this before, but now I am getting an error (when trying to arm in manual mode) that says:

“Failsafe activated: switching to disarm”

I don’t know what failsafe is activating. Is there a way I can see why a failsafe is activating so that I can work on fixing it? I am not sure where to go from here.

Thanks!

Look at all the warning texts sent by clicking on the exclamation mark in the top bar.

Also click on “Not Ready” and check what it says. And if that doesn’t help, upload a log to logs.px4.io and link it here.

Thanks Julian! The flight log is here:

Your help is much appreciated. I looked at the log file and It looks like some kind of failsafe may be activating for the GPS? But I don’t know, you tell me!

You seem to be using some odd older version:

I’m not sure what is going on but from the log it looks like all sorts of things are missing. For instance there doesn’t seem to be a mag available.

If this is a specific version that you need, then you have to figure out what is wrong it with it. Otherwise, I suggest to use something that is known to work such as the latest v1.15.3 release, or even the current v1.16.0 release candidate.
