Hey Everyone.  Hoping for some help.  I'm a Mac guy and I've tried getting the DJI Assistant 2 (FPV) to recognize the Controller 2 that I just bought to use with the Avata.  I've tried it on Mac and on a PC and I can't get the device to show up on either of the computers in the software.

Has anyone else had issues and figured it out.  Any hints.  Most of the YouTube vids are several years old or they just work the first time which is annoying!  Ha ha!

Love to get this thing connected.

Thanks in Advance!

Forget the Assistant program on Mac, it’s pretty useless.

Just connect everything as if your going flying, and connect Goggles to your iPhone or iPad with Fly app with USB C cable. It works, even had to update the batteries

The problem is the Controller won’t connect to the Avata or Goggles without the Update. Once updated, yes you can do everything through the app but it won’t connect at all without the update… as far as I can tell.

Update:  I was never able to get my Mac software to connect and I was trying to use a PC laptop for the DJI Assistant 2 software and it didn't work either at first... BUT I didn't have it plugged into power... just running off the battery.  Today I tried it again with it plugged in and it recognized the Controller 2 right away and did the update perfectly.  Maybe its just that PC Laptop (Dell) but for some reason, plugging it into power made the difference.  Problem Solved!
