    1. Yes. Use a PC to perform updates on all your pieces of hardware via corresponding DJI software. 2. BTU update is done with it connected to ground end datalink transmitter via CAN-Bus port. And the datalink transmitter will in turn be simultaneously connected to PC via its included USB cable...

    iOS Ground Station on Phantom 2

    Ya, I guess I said that wrong. These terms are all still new to me. I just mean I switched back to me controlling the P2 with the white controller. But yes, I still was utilizing all the usual GPS hovering and stability assistance features. Later, I flew a more complicated 10-waypoint loop...

    iOS Ground Station on Phantom 2

    Picking snipe meat out of my teeth as I write. My simple route ran like it should via the GS iPad app today. Very satisfying indeed. I did flick it back (flip right toggle switch fully down, then fully back up) to manual control right after it completed the triangle, just by choice. Flew...

    Thank you for that info! I even just watched a few P2 unboxings on YouTube trying to figure out if a data cable comes with it. Perhaps I lost the one that came with my unit.

    Successfully connecting all the various parts of the DJI 2.4GHz Datalink system is very similar to a successful day of snipe hunting. People have told so many really neat stories about both, stories that can make one's imagination race. Now, to be clear, I just mean "connecting the datalink"...

    My BTU model is still shining red even after this update to 1.0.1.3. Of course, it remains undetected by my iPad Air or any other Bluetooth 4.0 device I've tried. No joy. Anyone else with success/fail stories? ...regarding the Bluetooth connection especially. Crud, I do distinctly remember that...
