We just need whoever figures this out first to promise not to go to work for DJI and close the holes back up...lolWe'll probably use that as a gift to the technical resources who help deliver the solution.
I would pay just to be able to get back from 1.6 to 1.4
1.5 has serious glitches that has caused the battery to shut off mid flight in a few phantoms. Upgrade or downgrade, I would recommend not using 1.5.I am on 1.5 right now and I never installed 1.6 so I'd probably be able to go down to 1.4
Is there any change that I missed or why is 1.4 better than 1.5?
There was a jumper on the original phantom that you could use. If you connected the jumper, powered on and powered off, it wiped the memory of the Phantom.
Knowing a little (very little) about software code, those instructions are still somewhere in the code for the P3. Find a mechanical way to trigger that jumper (the main control board of the P3 does not have them) and perhaps you could wipe the Phantom completely, including no fly zone information.
Without a physical hack, software would have to access the memory that stores the NFZ information (it exists somewhere, is writable and unlockable). Forensic hacking would be needed. I'm positive it is do-able, but I won't pay for someone to do it; if DJI is going to force change upon me, even before the FAA, and do so in a more restrictive manner than necesary, I will have no choice but to buy a P2, install lightbridge 1, and go back to a Hero 4.
I just want to take the **** thing up to fly. I'm a pilot. I have a 333. I get the need to promote safety and education, but there isn't an auto manufacturer in the world that limits their vehicles to a top speed of 75 mph.
I wonder if we approached DJI in regards to their violation of licensing if we could get them to open the door for us??I like the idea about leaving it here - setting up another area / backup area is certainly a good plan as well. I would LIKE to see DJI respond here. That's Linux code - it should follow one of the several open source licensing schema out there (not sure which this distro follows). DJI is likely in violation of those agreements since they haven't opened the code.
DJI can do a couple of things 1) ignore it 2) support it or 3) get hostile. Will be interesting to see what conspires.
Edit: It's GPL3, the distro is here.
