Have updated to all of the new firmware updates so far since then.... However one just showed up this morning on my Go app but have not updated yet... Earlier this week I decided to use the Assistant and re-flash the firmware in the P4, since then it stabilized and hovered flawlessly. I however have done that several times over the past 6 month and seen the jerking return.
Will have to watch it closely for a while.
But yes, since it started right after a very big controller and P4 update this past summer it surely is a firmware issue.... I think I’ll only use Assistant for future updates just in case the wireless connection is being interfered with during the upload process.
There were some instabilities with aircraft firmware V02.00.0106 as you describe (it was released last July), since then there have been a couple of test 'Beta' releases. And finally a few days ago an official release V02.00.0700 (this aircraft update also needs RC to be at Version V1.9.3). This appears to have resolved the instability issues.
When motors are started when sitting on ground, it's best to take off full throttle for a second or three as quickly as possible after arming motors. When sitting on ground with motors running aircraft will try and stabilize itself, and a puff of wind or uneven ground (or both) means it is more likely to tip over if sudden changes or windy conditions. This means it may try to level itself by moving sideways and 'tripping over' on ground. |
