This makes me ask several questions; Since there are no GPS satellites for the helicopter to lock onto to keep track of where it is, is is going to go solely on cameras? How can they plan a waypoint mission without satellite? They need to work on their landings. It really hits the ground...

Also, if you put a firmware update file on the SD card, then boot the aircraft up, the aircraft will keep trying to update the firmware everytime you turn it on. When it gets done with the update, power the aircraft off, REMOVE the SD card, then power it up with no SD card and try the linking...

Sorry to hijack this thread but; I passed my 107 a few months ago. I still fly mostly Recreational (about 90%). I own four drones. Do I just need to register ONCE for Rec, and put the same number on all four drones, or do I need to decide which one(s) I will be flying commercially, and...

I'm glad you found the cause! And technically, it isn't the last waypoint that selects the Finish Action, it is the "Finish Action" selected in the Settings window that decides what your aircraft will do. Don't forget that, if something goes wrong during the flight, you can always hit the...

Meta4: You sound like an "expert" on the K-index. If it is as non-consequential to drones as you suggest, they why do they bother to show the Kp-index on the UAV Forecast page? Also, this website goes into some detail on what the Kp-index is and what it can do to drone operations: What Is the...

I have not observed this - I select "do nothing" on the Litchi mission hub, my drone gets to the final waypoint and just hovers there. Perhaps your battery was too low after the mission and had to land? If you check your mission log (on Airdata), you can find out why the drone tried to...

@Billie Nelson : just confirming, you are using the same Litchi login on both your mission hub computer, and on the app on your phone, correct? Litchi associates all missions with the login you use.

Martin's sequence above should work fine. My iPad is always connected to my wifi, I never disconnect it (except by going out of range when I drive away from my house). Even if it was powered down, when I get out to the field to fly, I connect my iPad to my phone's hotspot for internet...

Just a couple of notes that held me up with Litchi when I was first starting on my Phantom 3: The Remote Control (RC) has to have its mode switch in the 'F' (function) position on the Phantom series in order for the mission to load into the drone. During the mission, you can abort the mission...

Try removing the SD card and see if it will link then. If the drone "sees" an update file on the SD card, it will keep trying to update until the update file is gone.

What a beautiful place! You'd have to be patient driving on this road, especially having to wait for the large trucks to maneuver around the hairpin turns. Thanks for posting. I used Google Translate to convert the Portuguese to English so I understood what the narrator was talking about.

FANTASTIC nighttime photo! Which drone is that? I'm guessing a P4?

The antennas are in the legs. If the wire seems OK and unharmed, you may be able to patch it up. I would not use the JB Weld that has metal particles in it. The lighter, the better, as long as it has the same strength as original plastic. Be very careful with the antennas. I would recommend...

AWESOME! You are correct, he had the P34k. I never knew this existed. He also got it talking to the DJIGO app via Wifi. I never would have guessed the P3 could do that. Thank you so much!!

My buddy just got a new (to him) P3P. He tells me that the RC only has a USB Micro connector on the back, where my P3A has a USB Micro and a USB standard A connector. I connect my P3A to my iPad via the USB standard A connector. I tried to connect the iPad to the micro connector, but...
