Hey all - great forum!
My first drone was the DJI I.... with the Fat Shark goggles that never worked all that well.... so I usually just had to eyeball it. So getting this upgrade was a big deal to me!
So I unbox it.... the battery that came with it won't charge... I mean zero. I push the button and it flashes one bar - but that is it. Charged it for a day... nothing. Put it in the drone... won't turn on. Bummer 1.
I downloaded the app / updated the controller / and put the latest file on an SD card. I downloaded the latest firmware and I'm using a MAC... I assume that should be good but never assume... Anyway - when I start up the drone here is what happens:
Green light flashes on the camera and then it is steady about 20% through it's startup procedure. The camera stops where it should - facing forward - and that is it. No more blinking - just solid green.
On the iPad I see the video from the camera - but I can't control it at all. No movement or changing of the camera parameters. The aircraft says RC Signal Lost. It goes from poor signal to medium but most of the time on poor. It doesn't give me any information about the aircraft like if the firmware is out of date or anything.
When I take the card out - of course there is no file written to it saying there was a problem with the firmware update or that there was any type of failure.
Well - bummer 2.... this sucks. Have been screwing with this for three hours. Pulled out a PC - formatted the SD card / downloaded the file on the card from the PC - same **** problem. what the face......
