This may take a while to spell out, so don't fall asleep on me.
I'm trying to come up with a procedure for connecting the controller, DJI Go app, and the drone to see if they work together. ( Meaning the status lights come on and the motors operate with the control sticks.) This is done indoors with no props attached.
First, I install the iPad on the controller, next I turn the controller on. I next turn on the iPad and connect it to the controller. Next I turn on the drone and make sure it tests the gimbal and beeps. I now bring up the DJI Go app and open it. At this time I check the app to see if it connects to the drone, then for anything that needs to be corrected. I make sure it is in the correct mode (2), and make sure the compass is calibrated and that it is not in beginners mode. At this point the motors should start when I pull the controller sticks down.
Now I think I listed those actions in the correct order, if not please tell me.
I had several drones that would not spin the motors unless I walked outside and calibrated the compass. As far as the GPS I don't believe not being connected affects the start up.
After all that I wait for a nice day and take everything outside and try a few small test fly arounds.
I did find that the drones would not calibrate the compass when I had a cell phone in my pocket! I read the manual at least 3 times and missed that note.
If you can add thing I should change, please let me know, thanks.
