Page 2: Troubleshooting Guide
Operators may face issues in the field. This troubleshooting guide was designed to help you solve problems in the field. This guide will go over various issues you may encounter when flying the Lucid C1 drone. With any drone technology, it is important to remember the most powerful problem solving strategy: POWER CYCLING THE DRONE. - Page 3 GPS Errors Many different variables can cause GPS issues. From taking off too close to a building, to KP index inhibiting the aircraft from acquiring a signal. Pilots could even be taking off near magnetically charged materials or objects, causing a magnetism error. Whatever the cause of the problem, good news…...
- Page 4 To conduct an Accelerometer Calibration (which should be done anytime the drone moves more than 150 miles from its previous flight location) 1. Power on the drone and remote 2. Open QGround Control app 3. Click the “Q” icon on the top left corner of the screen 4.
- Page 5 Horizon Level Errors: If the Lucid C1 drone is positioned on a flat and level surface, but the horizon indicator is not flat, the pilot must perform a level horizon calibration. Typically this problem is showcasing the IMU may not have a proper calibration and be able to discern flat and level position.
- Page 6 Unstable aircraft or “wobbly” upon arming the drone. If your Lucid C1 drone is wobbly upon arming the drone, in preparation for takeoff… there may be a potential problem with the aircraft. A common parallel problem may also showcase that not all motors are spinning upon arming the drone.
- Page 7 Failure to Maintain Altitude. All drones are prone to altitude errors but also a similar problem with drone toilet bowling. If you find your Lucid C1 drone is moving during a hover, shortly after takeoff, you should land immediately. Fixing Toilet Bowling: Oftentimes when the drone is toilet bowling, this is a symptom of a GPS error.
- Page 8 Remote Controller Connection Errors Lucid C1 pilots may run into errors where the remote controller is not connecting to the drone. This could be caused by numerous factors, most of which are environmental. There are a few very simple solutions to double check before moving on.
- Page 9 Vis0dom Errors After flying the drone for many missions, users might find that the drone refuses to take off due to “Vis0dom,” error. Without these onboard sensors working properly, the aircraft will not takeoff. Typically a vis0dom error is due to the Graphics computer losing power. Typically this would require calling customer service or shipping the drone back to Lucid to be fixed.
