Ordered the blimp but was so sad that the IR beacon was missing from the package. Tried out the RC mode using this radio
http://www.sussex-model-centre.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=20060 but only could get the vectoring to work. Connected the vectoring to channel 3 and the 2 servo to channel 1 and 2. Somehow felt that the board is not receiving the signal from the transmitter... or something. Anyway the led flashes in four direction and thereafter no led light appeared.
I forgot to mention that when I can control the vectoring, the motors are still running in autonomous mode... Is this normal? I'm not too good at programming but somehow when I load the .pde file, the program says that there's unrecognised character. Thanks... really need some help to get this to work!
