An exciting morning yesterday with my Smart Controller threatening to be a brick. In fact a friend of mine has had to return his Smart Controller to DJI for repair.
Here's how I fixed my issue with the update.
I had initially attempted an update via Wifi as indicated on the video. This hung on 99% downloaded on each attempt.
I downloaded the Mavic version of DJI Assistant.
I then started to get many messages about not enough space & connected to the Smart controller as a drive to have a look around. I found in \rm500\internal shared storage\rm500 a 4.5gb file which was left from the failed update. I backed up & deleted the file from the Smart Controller.
I tried several times to update via DJI Assistant, each failure resulting in my need to delete the above file.
The 3rd try through DJI Assitant, the Smart Controller froze up. I tried to shut down the Smart Controller with no luck, but pulling out the USB cable allowed me to reboot the Smart Controller. On start up, the controller commenced it's update which completed after about 15 minutes.
I now have very little space remaining on the Smart controller with no 3rd party software, caches cleared. However it works.
If you start up the Smart Controller with the drone turned off, there is now an opening screen which asks you to choose a drone. It means that I can no longer sync my flight logs just by turning on the Smart Controller, I now need the drone turned on as well. Yet one more annoying thing on top of what as become a huge annoyance.
I spent the whole of yesterday afternoon sourcing a standard controller. The Smart Controller has now tipped the balance into harming my workflow & flights.
DJI have been zero help. |
