    Litchi Force Landing?

    Finicky electrical systems... a curse, but also my paycheck :)

    Litchi Force Landing?

    Just to clarify, are you suggesting that we should simply accept forced landings if a flight was made with a battery at 90% rather than 100%? I fully respect your stance, but, as an electrical engineer, that approach doesn't sit well with me. Whether you're in the middle of flying with batteries...

    Litchi Force Landing?

    Definitely good practice, but it shouldn't be the difference between a proper flight and a seemingly unwarranted forced landing when it does not happen with the OEM's app. Something's just not right.

    Litchi Force Landing?

    It's still happening to me as well. The last time I flew, with the newest firmware and version of Litchi, the blue "LANDING" header popped up three times and started forcing landings within the first two minutes or so, even when starting with a nearly full battery. I'm not sure what's going on...

    P3 Firmware 8 steps to fix the latest firmware failure on your P3S

    I put the file back for now. Give it a try at the same link as before as it should work again. However, there are newer versions available.

    My Litchi review

    I believe you need a data connection the first time after installing, and possibly after updating, for it to verify the license. Do either of those scenarios fit?

    Litchi Force Landing?

    This was the initial reply received from the developers: "Did you double check the "action on signal loss" setting in DJI Go? Maybe it is set to landing instead of RTH? In the first log I can see the aircraft is relatively far from the RC at the time when it initiates landing (for a P3S). I...

    Is the Litchi App really worth $20?

    Yes, they now include the focus function in the base app and added tracking, which resulted in a price increase.

    Litchi Force Landing?

    There is some variation in the cell voltages, although nothing appeared on my screen to indicate an issue. Cell 1 in my battery seems to fluctuate a bit more than the rest, with regular minor cell deviations and one major deviation in that flight. However, what it considered the 'major'...

    Litchi Force Landing?

    It's set to 15%, which force landed it on the second flight as it should after the critical battery level was reached. I'm just not sure why it force landed the first time. I emailed their customer support, but haven't heard back yet.

    My Litchi review

    I'm guessing that Litchi uses a contrast and size-based system to track objects. With bushes scattered around that are similar in size and closely driven around, it may have lost the edges for tracking. Hard to say without knowing their algorithm, but it may work perfectly well in areas without...

    Litchi Force Landing?

    Twice since using Litchi, and seemingly randomly, it has forced my P3S to land with no discernible cause. Yesterday, for example, I was flying with about 50% battery close to home. Within a minute or so, the green "LANDING" notice showed on the screen, and the P3S was forced down. There was no...

    P3 Firmware 8 steps to fix the latest firmware failure on your P3S

    Here's a link to the firmware. I'm not sure how long I'll keep it in my Dropbox, so get it soon if you need it. Dropbox - P3C_FW_V01.04.0060.bin

    P3 Firmware 8 steps to fix the latest firmware failure on your P3S

    Thanks, but I ended up getting it figured out on my own. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Go app. At first it had shown that the aircraft was connected with a gray image from the camera, but it disconnected quickly. I couldn't get it connected again for whatever reason. I took another SD card...

    P3 Firmware 8 steps to fix the latest firmware failure on your P3S

    I'm fighting with this right now. Unfortunately, I can't access the camera settings menu to format the SD card. The menu keeps flashing and won't let me select anything. I'm now trying to download the firmware separately to put on the SD card, but DJI doesn't provide links to the P3S firmware on...
