Hello

I've just bought a refurbished DJI Avata from a DJI Certified Reseller. To start with the drone was advertised as shipping with the FPV Goggles 2, but instead came with the older V2's. however, as I have a drone job starting next week I couldnt afford to gamble on not getting a replacement in time. I also bought an FPV Controller 2 at a riduculously inflated price in order to fly the drone the way I wanted to shoot the footage. Whilst trying to set up the controller to the gogglea and the Avata this evening (which was a mammoth struggle) I eventually got it all up and running in my living room. However, when I tried to start the motors, a Propulsion System Error flashed up in the goggles and a correspodning red light appeared on top of the drone. I've shecked the props for blockages etc and the battery was seated correctly, but all seemds to be fine. Any ideas? I've been searching online for hours and I'm at my wits end. The new job starts in little over a week.

Many thanks

John

Try to refresh the firmware of avata, goggles and the controller using DJI Assistant 2 to see any better.

That seemed to work, green light on top of the drone and the motors started first time. Still says Propulsion System Error in the goggles. I refreshed the drone, motion and FPV controllers, but the goggles wouldn't refresh (I tried this several times). It would seem that this is a firmware issue then? Flaky code.

I'll try taking it out for a flight tomorrow and update here.

Thanks for your help Hungdang.

My avatar is showing this same message after a small breakdown and breaking a propeller, from my research I believe that replacing the motorbike this problem will be solved, and how did you manage to solve it?
