So, here is my timeline of events which have led me to be grounded.
September 15th- Flew successful 18 minute flight with the v.1.3.20 firmware loaded on both the controller and P3A. Before I started, I had gotten the notice (as I had for a week) that a firmware update was available. Device was my iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.4.1 and DJI Go 2.2.0
September 17th- Upgraded P3A to v 1.4.10 firmware. Did a short test flight, everything worked fine.
September 24th- 15 min flight, no issues.
September 28th- iPhone auto updated to iOS 9.0.1. That night, I connected the P3A and the app still worked, but gave me no camera connection. I had a scheduled flight the next day, so I tried to roll back the iOS update by downloading it and restoring my phone. That went unsuccessful. Once I got everything back up to speed, I downloaded the DJI Go App again and it loaded, but only would bring up the device selection screen and "How to Connect." When plugging in my controller to the phone, I always got a tone saying it was plugged in, and usually a brief "do you trust this computer" pop up that went away 3 seconds later. Since the restore, my phone doesn't recognize the controller at all. The controller does recognize my sd card adapter and is up to date on the firmware. After reaching out to some on FB, I determined it was a compatibility issue with iOS 9. So I waited till the 2.3 version of the Go app came out.
October 7th- iOS 9.0.2 updated; Tried connecting after the DJI Go App update, still doesn't recognize the P3A controller. It is almost like it doesn't have a driver to recognize my phone, or my phone doesn't want to recognize the controller. At this point I attempted to use someone else's phone, and got the same result, stuck on the "how to connect" screen with no option to go into camera view. I also purchased a ipad mini 4 wi-fi, and attempted yet again to download the app and connect it to the P3A controller. Again, no dice...no recognition of the controller or acknowledgement of the P3A being turned on. This is why I am stuck on the ground still. Nobody has been of any help and everyone gives me the same rundown of check this and check that with the assumption that I am just a moron that doesn't know how to fix anything on my own.
Of note; While the APP does not connect to the controller, the controller and P3A work fine. I am able to take off, land, fly around the area in line of sight, the gimbal moves up and down to the controller input...I just have zero connection through the application. Three different iOS devices with 9 or better on it and no luck. |
