Hey folks
So you may recall a couple posts from my previously regarding the Contorler Signal Loss I was getting on the used PS3 I picked up a while back second hand.
On the previous 2 threads I had taken all your advice and checked everything. In a last ditch effort. I brought the P3S to my friend and Co-Workers house for a look over.
He is a lead NOC Analyst at my company and the guy is a genius when it comes to everything tech.
Just for those who didn't see the posts. I grabbed a PS3 standard which had a modded RC with the The Itelite DBS Phantom Range Extender
Long story short. He ripped the P3S and remote apart and went over it with a fine tooth comb. Tested everything, and could not find anything wrong.
Yesterday, feeling defeated. I went and grabbed it from him. We sat for a few discussing it. And he suggested we take it down to a park near his house
so I could show him what was going on ( He doesn't like to fly others drones as he typically crashes no matter what )
I didn't have my tablet so before we left his place, I stalled the DJI Go App on my Galazy S10E. We got to the park and low and behold. No errors, even surrounded
by a very large amount of wifi networks in the area, the only time I got a Controller Signal Loss error was when I had it return home and it was directly above me.
Which, made sense.
Baffled, I start driving home. Then it comes to me. The ONE thing I had never done is used a different device when flying the P3S. I have always from the day I
got it used my NVidia Shield K1 Tablet. This time, because I dind't have it with me I used my Galaxy S10E. And no issues.
I called my buddy on my way home with this info and he agreed, since the tech in the K1 is older ( release Date July 2014 ) it's quite possible that it was having an issue
with the The Itelite DBS Phantom Range Extender.
Does anyone else have any experiences like this? Could it have been this simple? I haven't had the chance to take the P3S to a location where this happened 100% of the time
in my area yet to test. But plan to in the next couple days. I am just looking for some folks out there that are very understanding of this to give their 2 cents.
Just a note. I have used the K1 with my Spark flawlessly. But then again I connect via OTG with the RC and Tablet with the spark.
Thanks!
