Intermitant blue module light when servos are use
The blue light on my Hitec 2.4 module lights on and off and beeps when I apply the aileron servos All other servos are ok and no light.The aileron servos are digital. I have a fully charged battery pack ( ni cads) 5 cell 1800 ma. The batteries test ok on my load tester. Any suggestions?

I have an Eclipse transmitter. How do I reprogram the module? Do I need a ubs cable? I will be upgrading batteries for my receiver just to be safe.

However, the module supplied separately should have had the factory auto detect 4/5cell saved at 4.5v.
What chemistry are the batteries?
