I watched a video about it this morning and was able to look at the flight data (DJI Go) on the app. There’s a button that says ‘share’. I’m assuming that’s how I could share it. I’ve done most of my flying with Litchi and haven’t figured out how to load the data onto my phone or computer...

So, I formatted the sd card and reinstalled the fw(1-9-20). Took the AC out and flew DJI GO and Litchi. Everything seems to be back to normal.

Last week, while flying a waypoint mission on Litchi, I lost connection which didn’t concern me because it happens all the time on longer waypoint missions. It was an 8 minute mission. After about 10-11 minutes, the AC still hadn’t returned. Went looking for it. It was on the ground, on the...

So yours won’t do this?

Have you swiped your screen to get to the Phantom 3? (See the 4 dots under the pic?) Prob why the old board links because that’s what was registered with it. I just did the ESC board and motors on mine (not gimbal) and it relinked with no problem. I also just crashed mine for the first time and...

No sir. The remote was fine. The chip that switches between antennas was shorted. I replaced the main board and motors. Relinked and calibrated and everything was like new.

I’m only asking because I haven’t seen it in your posts (I’m also new to drones and just replaced the esc board and motors due to burned chip, long story). Have you done a reconnect between the controller and new board? (Turn on RC and AC, push connection button on bottom of AC for 2 seconds...

Installed new esc. Relinked RC and ac, recalibrated compass and imu. We’re at the beach this weekend so I took it out. Flew distances in increments. Got out to 2500 feet with no drop in signal or video. I think I’m good. Thanks for the help y’all.

Thanks Rod

Not intricate enough tools. Father in Law, who used to do electronics repair, not steady enough. Dropped friggin solder everywhere.

I am replacing the board on mine (can’t do the jumper mod). I was able to determine the chip was bad. If I understand correctly, to keep this from happening again, I need to keep the remote away from the AC when doing a FW upgrade? What distance do you consider ‘safe’?

OK Supra, I screwed up the ‘jumper’ mod, so I just ordered a new board with motors already attached (no soldering needed). After I replace the board, what’s my process for getting it ready? Relink RC to AC? Recalibrate compass? Recalibrate IMU? Just don’t want to screw the pooch after replacing...

Nevermind I got it.

agteigarnet, I’m assuming the chip I’m looking for is under the silver shield? Does that shield pop off or something else?

The thread is ‘Phantom 3 standard range mod, let’s do it together’ on this page. Read the thread and see if that’s sounds like yours. I went from 5000’range to less than 200’. After reading the thread, I did another test flight and watched the signal strength. It would bounce around from 99% -...
