Will not connect

[shootist]

Phantom 3 advanced.
Haven't used it in several years. Ipad mini has not been changed, software has not been updated. All the same since last successful flights.

But now the controller will not connect. The drone powers up and I get 2 green and 2 red flashing lights. Battery full. The controller shows all lights lit and a green light. I cannot calibrate the controller.

Is the controller toast?

But now the controller will not connect.

The RC connects to the AC and to mobile device, you should be more precise in regard to which connection doesn't work. If unsure, it's good to describe symptoms in addition to your assessment.

If your mobile connection doesn't work, first step is to check the parts of said connection for which you may have replacements. The parts are: RC-cable-phone/tablet.

For RC issues with Phantom 3, it is also important to know which exact model you have - GL300a/b/c are the possibilities.

Connection on tablet.
It did charge recently so I discounted that idea at first. But multiple plug unplugs must have cleaned the contacts. Works with 2 different cords now.

Good to let the old bird fly again. Don't forget you'll need Remote ID to fly it in the US. Enjoy
