I started my AC firmware update shortly after I downloaded the software at 5:10PM (Pacific Time)...
Followed DJI's included "How to Update Firmware" instructions to the letter.
It's now 6:19pm... and the bird is still flashing yellow after more than 1 hour. The battery is showing 3.5 units, so I'll let it run a while longer.
Gezzzzzz
Update:
7:01pm - OK, almost 2 hours and nothing happened. So I shut down the bird. Then I trashed all files from the card, and dragged over the newly downloaded .bin file from my computer to the micro-card, then double clicked it to extract it on the card (instead of my computer). So now the card has both the WM610_FW_V01.02.01.03.bin file, as well as the expanded WM610_FW_V01.02.01.03.bin.cpgz file on it. Placed the micro-card into the camera, and something is different this time. The AC's LED did not blink for 10 mins or so, it made some quiet noises like a floppy-disk does when it's reading/writing... and then after 15 mins, it is now blinking yellow again (but no tones). Still making what sounds like floppy-disk reading/writing noises. I wonder if it's updating the battery now perhaps?
7:21pm - I'm still hearing the faint noises, but I'm shutting down the AC anyway, and then pulling the card to read it on my computer... It says Success! ...
Weird, because the tx file has a date of 2013, and the tx message says 2014.01.01. Oh, well. The only thing I did different was to extract the bin.file when it was on the card, instead of extracting it on my computer.
Well, OK, now I'll try the RC & report back my findings. Wish me luck!...
7:30pm - Updating the RC. So far, It's beeping a lot. That's good news I guess.
7:34pm - Stopped beeping, and the LED on it that was Red is now Green. Maybe it's done already? I'm going to pull the card...7:37pm - Tx file says Sucess!
So was it as simple as that? I'm going to test a little in the Flight Sim to see if all seems OK now. I'll keep editing this post... Back soon.
7:47pm... Yeah! Seems the update worked... It says New Firmware for its status on my iPad. But the flight simulator has disappeared from the home page. I have not tried flying yet, but it says Ready to Fly!
7:56pm - updating 2nd battery...Finshed in a few minutes (less than 5 I think, but hard to tell).8:15pm - updated 3rd battery. Found the flight simulator under the new INFO menu/button (upper right corner of the home screen on an iPad)
Flight sim seems to work fine, all looks ready to fly. I'll try it out tomorrow!
