I assure you that a large number of people have paid attention to the ‘no image transmission’ issue. There are hundreds of related posts here on the forum, and a very often referenced
troubleshooting chart dedicated to this all too common problem.
Yeah , I've been through all the related posts on this forum and many other forums , Youtube etc before posting here . Nowhere I could see clearly stated this situation/conditonality or Adv drone being seen as Pro . Except if one could draw this conclusion from "troubleshooting chart" but then, the chart is more oriented on Pro drone - with faults on DaVinci etc . And when it comes to Ambarella faults , which will mostly apply to Adv drone - no solutions , or how to continue fault finding . I understand there is no solution about how to flash Ambarella . And Ambarella in Adv drone is a slightly different model compared to Pro one .
And no, firmware is for Advanced - P3S file . I've got the drone on 1.11.20 , more or less working - with same simptoms as described before . Drone could fly even when no video and being recognized as Pro. I reflashed or force flashed 1.11.20, 1.11.30 , being missleaded by all that talk about corrupt firmware - I am not sure it applies to Adv too. Results were mixed - sometimes flash will complete, sometimes will fail .Downgrading failed . Then I noticed OFDM not being detected in logs . I replaced it. Flashing became more difficult over time - mostly it will not complete because of gimbal board failing during flash - I guess the fault accentuated . With replacement gimbal board I could not flash .
This replacement board has other behaviour - it will connect/disconnect all the time . Somebody described this earlier - lots of green flashes on gimbal , then red/green sequences . It could write folders on SD but not flash - and of course it gives wrong position of gimbal arm because it is not paired with gimbal board and yaw motor . This board also has a different ID - P01069-10 - which I could barely see mentioned somewhere (not on github anyway) .
Anyway, I ended up with a clean log all modules being recognized and properly updated . If I had electronist skills , I would probably understand what is wrong , but now I am obliged to buy complete camera package . I would not risk buying only gimbal board from China, which could be faulty too - it is hard to get a refund from there .
But I have hijacked this thread . I only wanted to mention that App could see drone as other model when there are hardware faults . Most people have set the app to open automatically on mobile connection . If not , one could notice that app asks if you want to connect Inspire drone - which is strange too .
