    Motor start

    Hi. I don't really know what happened; but it seemed, watching the screen -- not as easy as it seems because the only Windows OS I have is a small XP notebook -- that the software certainly updated something in the Phantom. It made a pretty awful sound that would normally have had me unplugging...

    Motor start

    OK. With great surprise and gratitude for everyone's help ... I have motors! It's been a long haul because I had to dig out and restore to life an old XP Windows machine, get it to hook into my Mac wifi etc etc to download and install the latest Nazam driver. Anyway, little by little things...

    Phantom driver. No. Another thing to track down. Frankly I'm ready to start pushing DJI for my money back. Customers shouldn't have to be spending weeks getting a purchase to work. If it wasn't for this forum I'd be really stuck, so many thanks. Anyway will go look for the driver.

    Motor start

    Thanks big Ben Once the USB is connected the light on the Phantom goes out (prior to that it goes through the normal yellow warm-up then green). The Assistant shows no sign at all that it is connected to either the Phantom, or through it, the control unit. I have never looked inside the...

    Thanks for these replies. I will try these suggestions. If I change from GPS to ATTI I do get the appropriate light response so there is some communication happening. One thing, however, is both sticks/levers on my controller return to the centre when released. This seems contrary to what most...

    Motor start

    Further to above, have tried again. Everything normal; warm up, satellites; all set to go, but no motor start. And I am using the levers as the manual dictates. I have read also about using the Nazam software to test and calibrate, but I am on a Mac and the only software that I can find for...

    Motor start

    Many thanks for the reply. I have tried that as part of the sequence shown in the PDF manual, but not on its own. I'll try this in next few days.

    Motor start

    I have finally unpacked and set up my Phantom (the original, not Phantom 2) bought before Xmas & followed PDF manual carefully and seem to have got where I should be according to my memory of the video 'how to' which frustratingly seems to have been taken offline by DJI. Anyway I have a basic...
