Due to unavoidable absence from the scene, It has been a long, long time since I have flown or updated my P3 Advanced. The last update i did was by downloading the Android apk from DJI and using manual SD methods for the Go App, and card insertion for the aircraft and controller. Obviously, ALL that has changed.
Currently, I see the GO App must be updated only via Google Play, but am very fuzzy on the exact procedure for the rest of the equipment because I feel sure I can't just leapfrog over several versions and methods of installation. I am sure the answers (including variation of opinion and experience) are in the forums, but these are spread over hundreds of comments and not really specific to such a long absence from doing regular updates.
Here is what is onboard now:
GO App = 2.1.0
Firmware on Aircraft = 1.4.10
Remote Controller (according to GO App info screen) = 1.3.20
Batteries (2) - no clue
Here is what I see available online today:
GO App = 2.7.1
Firmware = 1.7.0060
Remote Controller - unknown/automatic with other updates?
Batteries - unknown/automatic with other updates?
So, should I simply turn on the controller, the tablet device, and the aircraft and let these update automatically…or what? Again, I have never done any sort of live update via the GO app in the past - only 100% SD card methods.
Notes:
(1) The P3 flies okay at present, but I do have the famous tilted horizon issue much of the time, as well as random skipped frames in the recorded video;
(2) I Do have access to Firmware 1.05.0030 and 1.06.0040 downloaded zip files if needed.
Sorry to ramble on - just want to get this right the first time. Thanks in advance.
