Well, while my drone had never crashed up to this point, running the new firmware from DJI Diana resulted in a crash, so be warned. After seeing her post about updating all firmware including the hand controller, I went back and determined that my DJI Go app was out of date on my tablet and after updating that the hand controller updated as well. I went out to test my drone and was able to get it flying, but after a bit it started giving me warnings about "minimizing output to protect the battery" or some such, even though the battery showed plenty of charge. Then, before I could bring it down it switched to "Voltage low! Landing." As I brought it down (I'd only gone straight up and down on this test flight), it suddenly started drifting rapidly and crashed into a tree. Motors kept running and it bounced its way down to the ground, where despite the app giving me "motor obstructed" warnings constantly, I was unable to turn them off. Attempting to power the battery pack off didn't work either. I finally had to pull it, all to the smell of burning electronics as it toasted whatever was still trying to drive. So thanks, DJI! Looks like your test firmware is NOT ready for prime time, and now the damage to my drone is considerably more extensive than whatever's failing just leaving the thing sitting unused.

Hi Beo, sorry to hear about the accident. Please kindly start a case and send it in for diagnosis: https://www.dji.com/support. If the drone is still in warranty period, the local team will arrange data analysis after they received the package. By the way, the bin file we provided helps to solve the ESC error, it won't cause a crash, please be noted. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please feel free to let us know. |
