Has anyone recently replaced their original Wi-Fi Tx module with the newer ventilated version and found it necessary to update to a specific firmware, or specific version of the DJI camera App. in order for it to function as expected.
I ask this as I'm not quite sure the NEW module I've purchased is not simply defective as received or something else may be causing it to malfunction. I had decided to change out the module, a fairly straight forward process, ( round pegs in the round holes, etc) : ) after all said and done developed new issues, the camera now opens, but will not respond to Up/Down commands using the DJI App. touch screen control method on an older version of the camera App, nor am I able to receive all necessary telemetry info. with the exception of the Wi-fi signal strength, and extender battery % values, all other telemetry is unavailable.
The device I'm using a ( Nexus 7 2013 ) has always been used in the past with no issues, as I've found this device, and camera App works fine with another Phantom model and activating the camera on that particular model.
I've tried uninstalled/ re-installed the DJI Camera App., force closed all open apps., rebooted model and tablet. I've successfully re-bound new video module to the SSID of extender.
All wiring is OK, and plugged into respective connection sockets firmly.
Wondering if I've missed something? I'm thinking of returning the video tx module for possible replacement unit, but wanted to cover all the bases before going thru the removal and return process.
Again, just thinking I may have missed something in the replacement process.
Thoughts!
