I bought the iFlight Succex Micro F4 V2.1 16x16 stack. When I only plug in a battery, I get the first 3 tones from the motors. If I plug in the USB cable and then plug in a battery I get all 5 tones. This is the second stack to do the same thing. I get no video and no power to the receiver. I measured the voltage on the flight controller's 5v pad for the receiver and only get 0.8v. The 5v pad on the flight controller that's for the buzzer and LEDs reads 0.82v. All I've done is take the stack out of the box, solder the power wired and capacitor on and solder the 3 wires for the receiver on. All solder connections are good and nothing is bridged or crossed. I am new at this as it's my first build, so am I missing something? When you buy a stack do you have to upgrade firmware?
I can spin the motors in Betaflight. I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Either I've gotten 2 bad stacks in a row or I'm doing something wrong. The ESC has a solid green light when I plug in a battery only and the flight controller has a solid red light. When I plug in just the USB I get no lights on the ESC, a solid red light and flashing blue light on the flight controller. If I plug in the USB and a battery I get a solid green light on the ESC, a solid red light and flashing blue light on the flight controller.
