    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    Sent problem report e-mail to my DJI vendor and haven't heard a thing. Sent e-mail to X-Aircraft to talk about their stuff and received a return e-mail AND a phone call within 12 hours. Amazing difference.

    Pixhawk the new flight controller from 3DR

    Mr. Lefebvre, After reading all of the preceding related to large heavy lift birds and Pixhawk, I have a couple of questions relative to using Pixhark in a heavy lift bird that likely has a lot going against it. I have an A2 I'm working with now that is it was human I would have killed it and...

    A2 2.2 Upgrade Guinea Pig

    surfab, As you know you are not the only one experiencing issues with the A2. I had been hoping Tahoe Ed would respond in depth in my thread. BTW, when I tried the 2.2 upgrade I experienced several issues, controller lock being one of them, so I went back to 2.1. The other controller issue...

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    There is that. However, considering the lack of DJI support in this country, an extremely severe lack of spare parts, which appears to be world wide, not just limited to the USA due to a law suit, the considerable numbers of DJI system failures/flip of death/fly aways, the latest failure with...

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    Unfortunately, I do not. The up side of that is I haven't spent even more $$ on it. From what I've read, if I send the unit in for check up/repair I'm facing a long wait for the return.......

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    Just went through all the likely sequences again. I didn't say all possible sequences because I could have missed one or two. Here's what's happening. My previously related light sequence was reversed. After going through satellite acquisition the system flashes red-green-green when powered...

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    No, that occurs with the system controlled by transmitter after system warm up. It has happened a few times before going into the attempts at calibrating the compass. This situation is really a bit irritating. The system boots up fine, goes through self checks, counts down the satellite...

    How do you make a two-man operation?

    I've flown a 2 person cinema rig and it's not that difficult to set up but is exacting when trying to shoot pro level imagery. Two Tx and Rx, good and constant communications between flight and camera operators, agree in advance on flight terminology so there's less confusion when the camera...

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    Thanks for the info, I check those items out, again, and see what happens. Any idea what a repeating LED light sequence of green-red-red is supposed to be telling me? I cannot find that in the light guide or any of the manual pages anywhere. Now, does anyone make a good auto pilot/controller...

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    My error, and thanks for catching that. Correcting in the earlier post for accuracy. For the sake of discussion, let's say that the PMU is not upgradable. Are you also suggesting that the A2 Assistant should not identify the component when highlighting and clicking as it does with all the...

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    It appears I may have found the problem at the PMU but it would be great if someone that knew the A2 better could verify. Due to the different software releases on the various components I took some screen shots to more accurately relate that info. It appears the system is not communicating...

    A2 + Futaba 14SG Signal Loss Failsafe setup

    After two days trying to figure out why it would not go into fail safe I became very intimate with the bottom left corner "button" and the vertical mode position bar. It did not go into fail safe in the bottom left corner until I finally set the fail safe trigger points outside of and in...

    A2 + Futaba 14SG Signal Loss Failsafe setup

    I'm a bit new at this stuff but I found that the A2 with a Futaba T14SG will not trigger a failsafe mode in the A2 Assistant in any flight mode when turning off the transmitter unless additional failsafe end points are set outside of the flight mode set points. There's nothing intuitive about...

    A2 compass and GPS calibration, and other issues

    Folks I'm reaching out for any info I can get because I'm at a complete loss for ideas and DJI has fewer to work with that I do. They tried hard but no joy. I'm in the final stages of setting up a new A2 controller and running into some problems. The initial software was v2.1 and the DJI...

    What kind of flight time were you getting fully loaded up. I might be interested if you still have all of it.

    Wanted Heavy Lift Systems

    I'm looking for two complete, RTF, heavy lift systems, preferably identical. I know this is a near impossible request but the need is there. To establish some bona fides, I'm a U.S. national with a great many years in active RC, pretty well known in some circles, and no threat to anyone...

    Traveling with multirotors

    I'm curious about the lipos as well. The air carriers have become real tight with what can be shipped, at what size, and in what manner after losing that UPS 747 to a suspected lipo fire in the cargo hold. The controlling body seems to be IATA and not the usual CFR-49 HazMat regulations as one...

    Is there a problem with the S800 model?

    A little premature for photos, it is not yet fully assembled. Addictive RC has some general photos of the folding quad arrangement in their section for Vulcan products. A bit on the high dollar side but it appears you get what you pay for. Flex in the right places will help provide good...
