Hi Spark owners.

My Red Spark has worked beautifully from the first day. Some minor disconnects until I got the WiFi figured out. After the last FW update gesture mode only works fine with the palm control etc. but will not go up and track me with the wave gesture....

When the remote is connected I can get the wave gesture to work sometimes?  I can get the video to start using the new gesture only when the Spark is close to me.

I have spent 2 batteries trying to get the Spark to work using the Wave gesture.

Using iPhone 7 with iOS 10.3.3 latest Go 4 App (and it works with my P4P, Inspire 2  Mavic Pro)

Things I have tried:
Refreshed the FW .500
Calibrate IMU
Calibrate compass
only using the Spark in Gesture mode (no remote or phone)
connected to remote and select gesture mode
without prop guards installed

Any ideas would be great!  DJI if you want data logs please let me know.


All the best

Hi Rich, please refer to the tutorial to make sure that the gesture is correct. If you are doing correct, would you mind providing me with a controlling process when you use Gesture Mode? Besides, gesture recording can only be activated within 2 meters of the distance, I recommend reading the introduction in the user's manual.

Its the same for mine, maybe the recognition for the wave gesture isn't that great yet? I got it to work 3/5 times.

You're not alone. Same thing here. Everything was working fine until the last update. Now, aside from the palm-follow that works 1 time out of 10, nothing else does.

Hi Thor

I have seen this video and I missed the instructions on the video gesture at  2 meters thanks...

I will try this again, but please note that when I first got my Spark, the wave gesture worked everytime for me. Now it is almost impossible to get this to work since the FW update.

That's why I posted this thread, to see if others were experiencing the same issue .
Maybe you can report this to the R&D team for us
All the best sir

Yup, I see this now and thanks for posting I will try the sweeping motion again, but I have tried everything to make it work again.

Hi TCK

Glad I am not alone or going crazy    (well maybe I am)

I could use the wave before the FW and get it to work almost everytime.... now it will not work for me. I will try the sweeping action again and see if this is my problem.

Okay, I was able to get my Spark to recognize my Wave Gesture everytime by moving my arm and hand side to side... don't just wave your hand...  The Spark is looking for the palm movement from side to side. Maybe the FW update made the Spark more picky to our hand gestures??

Try it out and report back...

This will work

Hi Thor

I got this working See my post #9

no need to add this to R&D's list... I just needed to change the way I was waving to my Spark.

Thanks
