In light of this, is it better to just do a replacement vs send to DJI for repair? Repair cost will likely be ~$25 or $0 (if DJI does it for free post the checks).. Replacement cost would be $40 (but will eat up 1 of the replacements possible as part of refresh care program)
Hi,
Had another look at your log, and checked few things in my log database. (similar cases)
You started this flight with 8 satellites and a 2 for 'GPS quality'.
So the top left GPS icon FlyApp was yellow = GPS lock.
Seen also in the log by GPS used value (true) and the flightmode as P-GPS **
Without a GPS lock the flightmode had been ATTI mode.
If in ATTI mode a warning and audio is there.
** can you post the video of this flight, the video playing back to flight in the FlyApp?Love to see wich FlightMode is shown on the video.
Log shows that the GPS is used and not used, but not used means ATTI mode! good question for DJI to answer.
Because flying between buildings the GPS position was not a steady position, it changed by meters. (see my post #12)
This fluctuating of GPS positions was seen by the FlyApp ; few times a "GPS Position Mismatch" in the log.
This is seen when the next GPS position is not possible as the drone did not move actual to that position.
IMO FlyApp software should not only recognize this but should also bring the drone in ATTI mode, if happens not just in 1 or 2 records.
This will prevent that the drone starts to move on its own, chasing the GPS positions.
Fair chance imo to claim this error as a warranty.
About hover precision ; with a GPS lock GPS is the main info for keeping it steady at position in a hover. The visual system will aid this stability but is not in the lead!
Only in ATTI mode and Visual sensors active (withing sensor range and good lightning) the Visual system provides good hover precision.
In your flight no warnings about low light conditions, so the visual system was active, but as said, GPS will overrule this info.
Seen this in your log in the same record " No GPS. Fly with caution | GPS signal weak. Hovering unstable. Fly with caution"
Uh? No GPS is not the same as GPS signal weak !!
No GPS = ATTI
GPS signal weak = P-GPS but not a steady hover....
So what is it DJI ??
cheers
