"I was not using the new Assistant 2 software (2-2)"
That's a good point, I wonder if any of the current batch of firmware problems are being seen because older versions of Assistant 2 being used ?
Aloha Aardvark,
That was one of my questions for a member and they said they were using 2-2. But, I still think that it could be part of the problem. Most of the problems are from devices that are compromised by age, storage or power and the users do not know how to get their system working right. Then there are under-powered computers and inadequate Internet connections. Everyone is spending so much money on their birds that they have no money left over for a good tablet. (The nVidia Shield K1 solves that problem, but is having issues right now.)
The competition for processor time, due to downloads and apps running in the background, and storage issues is not obvious to some users which is why I like to suggest that they try a flight in Airplane Mode. That way they can see what a difference that conflict makes.
If you think about it, what we do is pretty simple. We just explain to people how computers work and that they are flying three computers in a network, and we do it over and over and over again. Once they see what a difference Airplane Mode can make, they are more open to how their specific problem needs to be resolved.
It does not help that firmware flashing has such a bad reputation. As much as it is very different in today's world, it is still hard for some people to grasp.
Well, that is my rant for the day! Mahalo for the point raised!
Aloha and Drone On! |
