OK, I figured out what was wrong. There is either a bug in the firmware, this is just not documented, or I didn't find the place in the documentation; it looks like the settings are not saved in the Ronin S until the power at the handle is turned off. If you change some settings then turn off the power using the power button on the battery, the settings are not saved. I have been turning it off using the battery every time since it didn't make sense to me to power down the handle and then still have to power down the battery.
DJI should make it so that the settings are actually saved immediately, or maybe give you a save settings button in the app. I still do not know why it suddenly lost the settings while using it, maybe it briefly lost power between the battery and the handle after I had set the settings.
This is very easy to repro and I have tested it multiple times:
1) Power on the Ronin at both the battery and the handle
2) Set some Smooth Track settings or motor control settings
3) Power off the Ronin using the power button located on the battery part of the handle.
4) Power back on the Ronin S
5) Any settings you set will be gone even with the latest firmware and app
To get the settings to save you have to do the following:
1) Power on the Ronin at both the battery and the handle
2) Set some Smooth Track settings or motor control settings
3) Power off the Ronin using the power button up by the joystick
4) Power off the battery using the power button on the battery
5) After you power everything back up, the settings will still be there
6) Every subsequent time you can power it off using just the battery. But if you make some settings changes you need to power it off using the joystick power button first
Now that I know, from now on if I change the settings, I will just use the joystick power button to power cycle the Ronin prior to using the new settings, that way I will be sure they are saved. But it would still be better if DJI just added a save settings icon in the app, or had the Ronin always save the settings right away vs. waiting for the power down from the joystick power button. I would imagine in a scenario where you set some settings and the battery died before ever powering down that you would lose your settings that way too. |
