The price.

The price.

Sadly you cant buy the old controller anymore.  seems like its been out of stock for a while now.

Hello there DAFlys. Good day and thank you for posting this video that you have came upon. Nice find and thank you for your support.

Nice comparison!

Just something that popped up.

I know that feeling.

not had as much lately.  been a bit slow.

I thought I noticed based on the amount of posts in the products section you made

Yes it definitely slower today.

Nice find DA.  Very good comparison of the two controllers.  I really hope they make the RC Pro backwards compatible some day.  However, DJI loves to EOL items it seems.

True. Although I'm not too active either.

Indeed.  They say it will support other drones but it’s not clear if that’s just new releases.

I got the impression you were busy with projects.

Chores Chores Chores here.

Will the dji RC Pro be compatible with the Matrice M300 RTK?
Or is it already ?

Mavic 3 only at the moment. More, unspecified models to follow. Whether any of those will be existing models is yet to be seen. Doesn't the M300 RTK use an enterprise specific remote anyway? Might be an extra tall ask.

Go Chore then.

Find a bug (or undocumented feature)

Good luck,  I hope you track it down.

It was caused by lack of understanding the logic behind a function.
I assumed that a messagebox would block the code.
And it did.
But other events could still be fired and start a new thread.
Which lead to odd behavior (user having to react to some question while the scale was still passing on weights)
I made a simple test program that had a trigger on a barcode scanner read and a messagebox and it was very clear that my assumption was wrong.
So I searched for a way to block events from being fired 'if' but that turned out to be harder than I hoped and while I was looking for a solution, it became clear that you don't 'always' want this.
So I opted for the manual way and added a global variable that I can react on in the method that is called after the event was triggered.
It is manual, since you have to add this in every method that you think it is needed, but that is what I ended up using.
There will be better ways maybe, but I can at least now stop this problem from occurring (so I hope)

Good old async code. Always trying to have a fight with the dev.

Yup.
Learning by doing from my part.

Probably will only include futures releases...like say for the Mini 3 (I hope).

Im still holding out for some backward compatibility.

With DJI I always hope for the best intentions but expect less.

Ur an idiot they still sell the smart controller it's just not compatible with any new drones made  and has half the processing power and is completely outdated so you would be stupid to buy it now anyways just buy the rc pro ....use ur brain dude
