Calibration question.

[Guzziknight]

Hi All,

I took my new P3S for its first flight a few days ago. I calibrated it correctly, and had a good first flight. No problems while flying at all.

Here's my question. When I landed and stopped the motors, I tried to restart them and go up again. They wouldn't start. DJI Go app said IMU error and to calibrate again. Is that normal? I didn't turn off the bird, just stopped the motors. I didn't calibrate it again since I decided to head home.

Seems to me that I should be able to land, shut down and then take off again with no issues.

Thanks!!

Update. I tried to start it up again tonight and nothing. Still getting the IMU error message. Restarting the bird did nothing. I'm not happy. This is a brand new bird. Can anyone help?

Its not normal. Try a recallibration, on a dead level surface. What are your current mod values?

I've tried that. Not sure what you mean by mod values. I'm a complete newbie.

Had the same problem recently which i kept getting and drived me crazy.. a IMU recalibration via the advance settings on a good open space fixed it for me.

In advance settings you should find the option IMU calibration.

Did you recently update the firmware?

Ok thanks. I'll try that. This is new to me, so I appreciate all the help!!

I did the firmware upgrade when I got it.

I did the firmware upgrade when I got it.

When i went looking for a fix i noticed others got this mostly after upgrading firmware.

Might be good to re-calibrate everything after each firmware update.

Make sure its on a level surface when you re-calibrate and no metal or anything around.
