I'm at my wits end trying to solve this problem. Hopefully, someone in this forum has had exactly the same symptoms and can point me to the solution.
I've never flown this PV2+. Three days earlier, everything started properly, motors could be started. I could use vision to see what the camera was seeing. I could control its pitch. Calibration was completed, IMU was calibrated, satellites could be acquired. While Vision was showing me the telemetry and camera output, the RE green system light showed an almost solid green, flickering as data was been transmitted or received.
Then yesterday, as was preparing to go out I did a final check and that's when I noticed new communication failures. First, the system light on the Range Extender was turning on and off. I lost wi-fi on my iPhone5 at times and had to restart everything including the iPhone wi-fi. I switched to vision, and the button light near the top indicated it had wi-fi communication, but when I selected the camera icon, the screen would show no camera image although the wi-fi strength indicator was max, but the message "Connection to Phantom Failed." Back to the first screen and the green light was still on. Back to the camera view, showing the same message, but this time the wi-fi strength icon was dark.
At this time, I thought that somehow, the binding between the camera and Range Extender was broken. So I performed a new binding and everything responded as expected, but still no image. Mind you that I briefly saw the camera image momentarily the day before.
All batteries in the system have been charged and/or replaced. When plane is turned on, self-check proceeds normally, gimbal movement normal, lights sometimes slowly blinking green, sometimes blinking yellow slowly (I'm doing all of this inside my office).
I shut down all of my wi-fi transmitters and restarted, and I reselected the Phantom wi-fi in the iPhone's settings. Then off to vision. Still the same message. The green RE system light blinks on-off-on. Vision reports on the starting page that communications (with something is ok). I then powered down the plane, and noticed that the RE system light was blinking on-off-on, the same as when the plane was on. The RE was fully charged before this very last try.
Any ideas for things to try or the diagnosis of the problem would be appreciated. (This is the second DJI plane in my possession - the first one had a faulty ESC and the plane was replaced with the one reporting the above problems.
Please help me solve this mystery. Thank you!
