Well,
I checked my xbee 900Mhz that was onboard the quad and behold ....... its dead
No more connection possible with xctu and it isn't bricked.
If this is the cause of the blown MCU I really need to get some protection on the signal lines.
Any suggestions how to overcome this. We still need to get the power from somewhere. And even a dedicated 3.3V powersupply could still give spikes.
Perhaps a startup procedure would help. First battery, then RX and last the xbee.
I've been using the xbee explorer board on my arducopter for over 2 years now without problems.
Come to think of it, the MCU didn't blow when connecting the battery but just after arming. Or it was a coinsidence.
To be honest I'm quite afraid to hook it all up again. Meanwhile I allready ordered a Spektrum TX module with AR7000. So hopefully the RX will allreday be ruled out.
