OK, then. Next leg of the journey: I've got the Mini 4 all set up, and've powered on the system several times (always got GPS Ready) and worked through the GO 4 settings several times, camera looking out a window.
That all seems good. So I took it out into the street (even made a nice "H" landing pad out of a collapsed cardboard box), fired it up and did an Auto takeoff and hovered about a bit, then landed.
Problem: After the landing I got a 'downward sensors error' warning, and it asked me to calibrate the downward sensors, which I dutifully did, moving the machine in a virtual vertical square pattern in front of my body, but it never did complete the calibration successfully, getting some blue in the progress bar, but then going red and complaining about the ground surface. I tried asphalt, cement, even grass, in good light, and no go. Pain in the tuchus. Everything else seems to work so far.
I even looked for possible clear stickers on the four sensor openings, but nada.
Any suggestions?
[i must, say: it was big fun to see it snarl up into the air, even in Auto Takeoff mode. One thing to watch a zillion viddies, another to see the real thing. 'o) ]
