i phone mini 4 problem.

[Dirby]

yesterday I bought an I pad mini 4 from best buy.
the lady there helped me regester in the apple store and down load the DJI go 4 app from the app store on the I pad mini 4.
when I got home I took the old tablet off the controller than powered up the new I pad mini 4 and a/c and controller.
when the screen came up on the top left it said Disconected.
never could get it connected.
I put the old tablet back on and it connected right up.
any suggeations on how to get this I pad mini 4 top work?
thx D

How is your iPad Mini connected to your remote controller?

 

[Dirby]

no wires.

 

[Dirby]

how should it be connected?

 

[msinger]

That's your problem. You need to connect the iPad Mini to the USB port on the back of your remote controller with a Lightning cable. You can use the cable that came with your iPad Mini.

If you'd like a shorter cable, this Cambond Lightning cable is a nice choice. That's what I'm using with my Phantoms.

well that answers that question.
I hooked up the cable and after I powered everything it came up nice as can be.
thx Msinger.
does the wifi need to be on or off on the tablet?
thx D

does the wifi need to be on or off on the tablet?

The P4P does not use Wi-Fi for anything, so it's up to you. I normally keep it turned on.

 

[Dirby]

ok thx.

I put the old tablet back on and it connected right up.

I'm glad to see that it was something so simple.

Question - how did the old tablet connect right up to your P4P if you weren't using a cable?

 

[Dirby]

it is android and it used a cable.
the people at best buy told me that the I pad mini 4 was wi fi only and didn't need any cable to be connected to the tablet.
oh well live and learn.
lol
