First of let me say I was primarily connecting the phone etc. to the controller before booting but I have the impression, though I now question that impression, that I had tried every connection sequence.
Anyhow yesterday I was getting frustrated and went to friend's house for tea, I brought the drone so we could 'play'.
'After play' I went to demonstrate the non functioning app and happened to connect the, let's call it a "viewer", without rebooting everything and BOOM there, of course, was a NOW functioning app. Hmmmm maybe connecting it some time after the boot and linking has finish is the trick????? I tried the other viewers, each was working "oh this is looking good".
"Ok lets tidy up the cabling", I had used a long USB cable that was lying around in the car so got one of the shorter ones so from the case. "B*&^%$*r" back to the broken app, plug the long one back in and voilà there's the app, working.
So, after a few experiments it is looking, at the moment, like NOT ALL USB cables are equal. The "good one" is a Samsung phone cable i.e. power and data cable, I can't remember what the short ones are from/for.
My friend is hearing, I am deaf, so I asked him to listen to the "relink your contoller and drone videos without an app" and we got that working too, though now, of course, it is not really necessary.
Big smile. |
