Help! Incessant BEEPING

[andyman]

Hi All! Hoping someone can help me, I've searched the forums and haven't found a solution. I haven't flown in a few weeks, and my drone has been stored in a secure foam rubber case with sticks removed. As soon as I take off, my RC beeps loudly about 1x/second for 5 seconds and then beeps rapidly with out stop. I have recalibrated the RC, flicked the sticks every which way, recalibrated the gimble, and updated the firmware. I've turned the drone and RC off and then on again. I did notice that this is constant, after takeoff, when I am in Normal or Tripod mode, but when I switch to Sport mode, it stops. Youtube video of my screen recording with sound, and flight log link below. Thanks!

It's your Obstacle Avoidance warning.

You're close to the door, causing it to beep and letting you know.

OA is not operating when in Sport mode so be careful, you could crash into something.

This started when I launched it in my backyard last night. Maybe it was too close to the house. I will test again tomorrow (dark now) far away from the house and see if that solves it, thanks!

Keep in mind you have rear sensors as well.

So if you hover in front of you, it might be clear in front, but picking you up from behind.

Click the map in the corner and bring up the attitude indicator.

Little squiggly lines should appear if an obstacle is detected, along with a orange highlight of sorts at the top and bottom of the flight screen.

Good luck.

Just to rule this out, make sure you have the latest update on the software.

Update to fly app 1.5.1 if you didn't already.
Also you can turn off that sound by turning down the "media" volume slider on your phone/tablet.

Depends upon the cause of the beeping. Some beeping comes from the controller, rather than the tablet, such as the heart attack beeping at under 15% battery. There is no volume control for it, and it cannot be silenced under 5%.

Thanks for your help, everyone. Turns out that it was indeed the obstacle sensor.

It’s just the obstacle avoidance is on and it’s beeping telling you about to crash into an obstacle

Obstacle avoidance is turned off with sport mode it will now crash into object instead of pausing or going around to n cine or normal mode

Fly in a open space to se me what I’m talking about your just really close to crashing drone I see a door or house so close to your take off location
