Hello, I hope all is well.

I upgraded my iPad to IOS 8.02 and can't connect to Blutooth DataLink anymore. Before that, I was having inttermitent connection issues with IOS 7. This is with a new DataLink I just received from DJI last Friday. My other two DataLinks worked just fine.

Any ideas?


Thank you.

Guy.

a lot of apps are catching up with IOS 8 so id expect an update from DJI also.
the DJI guys and support team are monitoring the forum so i expect they will be aware if theres an issue.

I am also unable to connect to the ground station on ios8.2.

BT connection is fine, iphone app DJI assistant connects perfectly, but ipad cant find any of my aircraft. (P2, and S900 w/ A2), VERY unhappy as I need to fly some pre-programmed flights for clients, and I cannot.

I've updated my ipad mini some days ago and I've flown my P2 and S800EVO/A 2 yesturday. No problem of connection but some disconnections during flights.  Sometimes,  the drone stop his flight in a single waypoint destination.

Got everything  working. It is important to ensure the Air Side is plugged into the Canbus 2 chain.

My Ipad mini will also not connect to the BEC.   The A2 just came back from the DJI doctor.  Still trying different things when I seen this post.

Ran into the same issue today. Found a solution for my issue, which might be different but I'd recommend giving it a try.

I hooked the ground end hardware to my PC and ran the Bluetooth Datalink Assisstant. I immediately noticed the Bluetooth device had no Hardware ID or firmware listed, as if it had been erased. Tried running the firmware update and it did work (although there is still no hardware ID listed)  and the Bluetooth unit came back to life after a power cycle. I could connect to the Bluetooth unit again.

Kinda odd that the firmware got erased, but at least it's working again.

Interesting but a do not find a Bluetooth Datalink Assisstant software anyplace.  This may be the key if I could find it.  Its not on the DJI LK900 disk installation and am hunting in case its other places, but you do have a good clue.

Isn't the LK900 a completely different product to the iPad Groundstation? Does it even use Bluetooth? I don't see the Bluetooth dongle in any of the product pictures for that product. If it does, then the download is in the support section of the DJI website under "ipad Groundstation"

That's a interesting comment.  Your correct as the LK900 is not provided with a BTU module for bluetooth but the A2 I have does have bluetooth on the BEC LED indicator, so I am thinking I can get into it that way but with no manual for the 900, I have no way of knowing for sure.  Maybe the Ipad will never connect to the LK900 then.  Would be great for DJI to chime in about now.  It could be that the LK900 was not intended to be used with a Ipad in which case I would be sol.

I just tried to connect with Bluetooth via a friends Ipad to my A2 and it was running  iOS 7 yet and it also would not connect or see the A2's Bluetooth.
