i spoke with a guy lives nearby who has years, of flying quadcopters, mentioned about my spark issues, said sounds like either the spark has onboard software crashing in a thread making it unable to respond at least until that thread closes or restarts.. if that is the case and it certainly is possible but not likely he hopes, it's probably nothing we can do right now.. DJi has to fix that stalled or crashed software thread.. or if any luck its not actually software onboard crashing and getting stuck in thread but rather general lack of redundancies causing it to get confused..
i asked why is that a good thing..or would be of any luck.. he said if it isn't a crashed software thread, and the spark is getting confused, considering it lacks general redundancies its likely.., having the ability to force Atti mode is definitely needed..but oddly missing. Atti should disable GPS and compass and maybe even disable the VPS..basically you're in full manual control... if it isn't software/firmware related, Atti mode is a simple cure. would allow you to tell it which way to face and fly even if it feels like its going completely backwards it wont stop you like it may in GPS mode. RTH would also misbehave in its confusion..thinks its pointing somewhere else..
he said he had his inspire drones fly away and he dedicated a button to Atti mode moment it starts going off track he uses Atti mode to reel it in.. same for his Phantoms and Mavic Pro... he said Atti has saved him a lot of problem, sometimes compass or something gets thrown off and yes mid flight its a thing.. or something and having manual control is only way to assure it comes back.. when it does decide to commit to its flyaways..
he did mention if its confused, it wont just right away take off it will appear confused for a moment..could be anything from it stopping in place and hovering without you telling it to, to changing height at random to really anything doesn't appear to be normal operation for a split moment.. when that happens he said its likely going to fly away.. thts when you should press Atti mode if you got that option..before it commits.
so apparently forced Atii mode is saving grace maybe..? i would dedicate my FN button to Atti mode if i could when i get my next spark..
other theory my GF came up with is maybe the spark doesn't have a built in atti mode on the drone its self.., and only the app does and thus confuses the spark even more with poor connections.. at first i was like..not very likely because Atti mode is basically disabling things and manual.. but she reminded me half the time we inside flying the spark it didn't say Atti Mode it said No GPS in red. when it did say Atti mode in yellow it was slightly more laggy with inputs.. now, idk how likely this is.. but... its a theory should be put down on the table maybe for DJI to check or fix. *shrugs* |
