Remote Controller Firmware

[athill16]

I just got my P3 today and successfully updated the drone itself. But when I got to the controller, I tried updating it by flash drive and also by micro USB from drone to controller, and neither gave me a blue light to indicate it was updating, even after leaving them plugged in for over 60 seconds. I turned them on then went into the Pilot app and it says that the aircraft status is normal, should I have anything to worry about? It doesn't say the controller needs upgrading anymore...

It's possible that it did not need to be updated. The file on your memory card should have indicated that.

If needed, here are comprehensive firmware installation instructions:

I went through the same exercise. DJI told me that it may not need to be updated and then pointed me to the DJI Pilot app (sorry not where I can hook up to the remote currently) under the main menu choose options and about and it will tell you the current version. Mine was already at 1.2.8 apparently.

HOWEVER, I was getting different results when I hooked up from the quadcopter's camera to the remote. So I did also suspect, as someone else pointed out, that the remote may not be very good about recognizing USB 3.0 devices.

Awesome, thanks. I just ordered a micro SD to USB device anyways just to be safe.
