I think you misunderstand how difficult software actually is. Most likely the people at fault are whoever put the note of the firmware in the release notes for Go 4. This sounds like a mistake with marketing more than engineering, as it is very obvious that x7 was no where near ready. When talking about firmware updates for a device with 4 spinning blades that flies, you kinda want to make sure that everything works. Rushing it out the door and having drones fall out of the sky is far worse than a few people being very impatient. It is very likely they discovered a serious bug and are testing like crazy before they release it to the wild.
The drone flies very well on x6 firmware, and most of the features that are expected can be achieved in Litchi or AutoPilot. I would suggest enjoying the device you have now, and be pleasantly surprised when new features come your way.
Hello 1px0ff, only a background here, I don't misunderstanding how difficult firmware is, I work with software for more than 30 years, and worked on R&D for long time with microprocessor firmware. If my R&D group takes 2 months to delivery a software update to our clients (that by the way are one the biggest ones here in US), you can bet that personal changes will happen). SPARK for me is just kind of fun stuff, but what get on my nerves sometimes, is when they release a "front end" feature, that , well , depends on the "backend" that who knows when will be released, my bet is 2018. So, just "venting" . . . |
