The flashing light usually means that there is no signal from the Reciever it will go solid when it finds the signal. It sounds to me like you have blown the 5V BEC circuit I did something similar by leaving an additional BEC in the reciever. You may have damaged your reciever as well, but try that in a feather or something. You will need to speak to Ian about a repair im afraid, if the receiver does work ok don't be tempted to try it again.
Cheers Ed, yeah, Ian said it was a loss of signal thing. Will be sending him the Wotty once he gets in touch when he's back from Dublin. Trying out the reciever in the feather tomorrow, but managed to rebind it to the transmitter earlier, and the power light still works with it, so I reakon it's ok. In fact, it's the same one you whacked with DB5's disc back in Newcastle, and it's been in 4 feathers since, so it's obviously a bit of a survivor, ha.
Still haven't heard from Ian. Sent him two emails for 2 different addresses. I know he's just got back from Dublin, I'm just at that stage in every proud heavyweight builders life where they want to drive their robot for the first time and I can't do til the Wotty is fixed, lol. Should I send another email?
