I got my Spark yesterday, and I can only get little over 100m of distance (or height) before RC disconnects or loses video feed. On 2nd battery, it is much more frequent. Also, the wifi signal when Spark is 10m away from me is showing only 2 bars! There is no difference when I connect trough cable (with airplane mode on) or wi-fi. I naturally started looking up the issue, and a number of people having this issue is worrying. I fly in an entirely open area near the forest, couple old cabins, basically no interference.
As it is obvious that some people have no issues in dense areas, this seems like an RC hardware fault. I would like to get this problem fixed asap.
wich transmission did you use ? 5 or 2.4G
i had troubles with 5G, Sprunky disconnected above some trees, luckily RTH and reconnect midair...
On a wide and long field i had much better range although i change to 2.4
After folowing the steps for 2.4 USBOTG i could go for at least 600m with usable video feed and full RC connection, no Signal loss or weak transmission notification.
I think for CE users (Europe, Australia) 2.4 is a must! And a USBOTG to get rid of wifi interference from the phone. wifi blutooth off. Maybe i get even more stability/range turning airplanmode on.
To use 2.4 with USBOTG you have to practise the steps a bit
I`ll
1. Turn on the RC
2. Connect Phone to RC WIFI
3. Turn On Sprunky
4. Wait till everything connected and "go fly"
5. Three Dots right up corner, go to wifisettings switch to 2.4, wait a bit to choos best Channel, OK
6. While the Spark changes to 2.4 and restart WIFI quickly turn off PHONEWIFI and connect USBOTG
7. accept the popup for datatransfer (android)
8. wait until Aircraft reconnect, maybe go back an "go fly" again
worked for me the last few flights without problems.
funny thing is for me 2.4 only works like that with USBOTG. after switching to 2.4 my Phone cant see the RCs wifi. But id rather use a cable anyway. |
