IRIS+ Support

If you are having trouble with your IRIS+ quadcopter it's best to contact your local dealer or the shop you purchased it from i.e. 
  • USA - 3D Robotics
  • UK/Europe - Unmanned Tech Or Support Forums
For more information about flight modes, further instructions, and 
configuration tutorials, visit the APM:Copter community documentation project at copter.ardupilot.com.  APM:Copter is the firmware that controls your Iris Quadcopter.  For details about teh mission planner please go here.

Troubleshooting

Q - I am receiving a persistent error indication when arming.
A - See Mission Planner for the specific error in the pre-arm safety check and visit this page for more information
Q - My transmitter doesn’t have six available switch positions.
